A recording apparatus comprising a plurality of recording modules each having a conveyance path through which a recording medium is conveyed and a recording portion (51, 55, 60) configured to record an image on the recording medium that is conveyed along the conveyance path, wherein the recording modules are identical in external shape, wherein, where an imaginary plane on which the recording medium is conveyed in the conveyance path is defined as a conveyor surface and a direction which is parallel to the conveyor surface and in which the recording medium is conveyed in the conveyance path is defined as a conveyance direction, the recording modules are disposed such that the conveyor surfaces of the respective recording modules are parallel to each other and such that portions of the respective recording modules align with each other in a first direction which intersects the conveyor surface and which includes a component of the conveyance direction, the portions having the same shape, wherein, in a certain cross section that is orthogonal to the conveyor surface and that is parallel to the first direction, where a dimension of each recording module in a second direction orthogonal to the conveyor surface is L1 and a dimension of each recording module in a third direction orthogonal to the second direction is L2, a dimension L3, in the second direction, of two recording modules among the plurality of recording modules that are adjacent in the first direction is smaller than twice the dimension L1 and a dimension L4, in the third direction, of the two recording modules is smaller than twice the dimension L2 and is larger than the dimension L2, characterised in that a portion of each recording module having the largest dimension in the second direction is defined as a first portion (55M, 62, 63) and a dimension, in the second direction, of the first portion is L5, a dimension L6, in the second direction, between the conveyor surfaces of the respective two recording modules is smaller than the dimension L5. wherein the recording modules are identical in external shape, wherein, where an imaginary plane on which the recording medium is conveyed in the conveyance path is defined as a conveyor surface and a direction which is parallel to the conveyor surface and in which the recording medium is conveyed in the conveyance path is defined as a conveyance direction, the recording modules are disposed such that the conveyor surfaces of the respective recording modules are parallel to each other and such that portions of the respective recording modules align with each other in a first direction which intersects the conveyor surface and which includes a component of the conveyance direction, the portions having the same shape, wherein, in a certain cross section that is orthogonal to the conveyor surface and that is parallel to the first direction, where a dimension of each recording module in a second direction orthogonal to the conveyor surface is L1 and a dimension of each recording module in a third direction orthogonal to the second direction is L2, a dimension L3, in the second direction, of two recording modules among the plurality of recording modules that are adjacent in the first direction is smaller than twice the dimension L1 and a dimension L4, in the third direction, of the two recording modules is smaller than twice the dimension L2 and is larger than the dimension L2, characterised in that a portion of each recording module having the largest dimension in the second direction is defined as a first portion (55M, 62, 63) and a dimension, in the second direction, of the first portion is L5, a dimension L6, in the second direction, between the conveyor surfaces of the respective two recording modules is smaller than the dimension L5.
