A recording apparatus, characterized by comprising: a recording unit that includes P (P is a natural number of 2 or more) recorders that perform recording on a recording medium; a transporting unit that transports the recording medium; a relative moving unit that relatively moves the recording unit and the recording medium in a first direction when the recorders perform recording; a data acquiring unit that acquires fixed data and variable data; and a control unit that controls the P recorders, includes N controllers respectively controlling one or more recorders pertaining to groups corresponding to N groups (N is a natural number under P) of the P recorders divided in a second direction crossing the first direction, characterized in that said control unit controls recording based on the fixed data and the variable data such that a variable image based on the variable data does not straddle the boundary of recording regions in the second direction between the recorders controlled by the different controllers, wherein the control unit includes: a determining unit that determines whether the variable image straddles the boundary; a calculating unit that calculates an adjustment amount for preventing the variable image based on the variable data from straddling the boundary, when it is determined that the variable image straddles the boundary; a first adjusting unit that performs adjustment of the adjustment amount on the fixed data; a second adjusting unit that performs adjustment of the adjustment amount on the variable data; and a combining unit that combines the fixed data after the adjustment with the variable data after the adjustment. a recording unit that includes P (P is a natural number of 2 or more) recorders that perform recording on a recording medium; a transporting unit that transports the recording medium; a relative moving unit that relatively moves the recording unit and the recording medium in a first direction when the recorders perform recording; a data acquiring unit that acquires fixed data and variable data; and a control unit that controls the P recorders, includes N controllers respectively controlling one or more recorders pertaining to groups corresponding to N groups (N is a natural number under P) of the P recorders divided in a second direction crossing the first direction, characterized in that said control unit controls recording based on the fixed data and the variable data such that a variable image based on the variable data does not straddle the boundary of recording regions in the second direction between the recorders controlled by the different controllers, wherein the control unit includes: a determining unit that determines whether the variable image straddles the boundary; a calculating unit that calculates an adjustment amount for preventing the variable image based on the variable data from straddling the boundary, when it is determined that the variable image straddles the boundary; a first adjusting unit that performs adjustment of the adjustment amount on the fixed data; a second adjusting unit that performs adjustment of the adjustment amount on the variable data; and a combining unit that combines the fixed data after the adjustment with the variable data after the adjustment.
