Patent ID: 7182337

Claim:
A recording apparatus comprising: a record executing device for recording an image on a recording sheet while transporting the recording sheet at a predetermined transportation quantity; a sheet detector for detecting the recording sheet by contacting therewith so as to obtain a detected position of a terminal edge of the recording sheet; a transport drive roller which transports the recording sheet; and a control part for controlling the record executing device, wherein the control part computes a detect delay error transportation quantity of the recording sheet which is performed during a detect delay time of the sheet detector based on a transporting speed of the recording sheet at the passage of the terminal edge of the recording sheet detected by the sheet detector, the control part computes the terminal edge position of the recording sheet by correcting the detected position of the terminal edge of the recording sheet with the detect delay error transportation quantity, and the transporting speed is determined based on a revolution of the transport drive roller.
