A recording apparatus, a first target recording medium and a second target recording medium different to the first target recording medium, the second target recording medium having: a lens layer which is formed by arranging lenses, which extend in a first direction, in a plurality of lines in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a reference edge, which is an edge on one side in the second direction of the target recording medium, a width in the second direction of a lens, which is formed at the reference edge, being equivalent to a width in the second direction of a lens which is adjacent to the lens which is formed at the reference edge the recording apparatus comprising: a recording head configured to perform recording on either the first target recording medium, or the second target recording medium; a detecting means configured to identify the reference edge and to detect an identification mark which is formed on the second target recording medium; and a control means configured to control the recording head, wherein, when recording is performed on the first target recording medium, the control means is configured to select either of a bidirectional recording mode where ink is ejected from the recording head in both a period where the first target recording medium and the recording head move relatively in a predetermined direction and a period where the first target recording medium and the recording head move in a reverse direction to the predetermined direction, and a single direction recording mode where ink is ejected from the recording head only in a period where the first target recording medium and the recording head move relatively in a predetermined direction, and when recording is performed on the second target recording medium, the control means is configured to select only the single direction recording mode, and to control the recording head so as to perform recording only from a side of the reference edge toward an edge on the other side based on detecting of the identification mark by the detecting means. a lens layer which is formed by arranging lenses, which extend in a first direction, in a plurality of lines in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a reference edge, which is an edge on one side in the second direction of the target recording medium, a recording head configured to perform recording on either the first target recording medium, or the second target recording medium; a detecting means configured to identify the reference edge and to detect an identification mark which is formed on the second target recording medium; and a control means configured to control the recording head, wherein, a bidirectional recording mode where ink is ejected from the recording head in both a period where the first target recording medium and the recording head move relatively in a predetermined direction and a period where the first target recording medium and the recording head move in a reverse direction to the predetermined direction, and a single direction recording mode where ink is ejected from the recording head only in a period where the first target recording medium and the recording head move relatively in a predetermined direction, and
