Patent ID: 7690745

Claim:
A recording apparatus, comprising: a conveying unit for conveying a recording medium; an ink ejection unit having a plurality of nozzles; and a controller configured to: cause the nozzles of said ink ejection unit to eject ink based upon image data representing an image, to record the image represented by the image data on the recording medium conveyed by said conveying unit, while scanning said ink ejection unit in a scanning direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the recording medium; calculate an angle of inclination between the conveying direction and a portion of an edge along the conveying direction of the recording medium by detecting a position of a point at each of respective ends of the portion along the conveying direction; and control an ink-ejection starting position and an ink-ejection ending position of each of the nozzles in the scanning direction at the time of image recording on the recording medium in a stripe region obtained by the controller based on said position of the point at each of respective ends of said portion of said edge and the calculated angle of inclination.
