Patent ID: 8235492

Claim:
A recording apparatus that records an image on a recording medium by repeatedly performing an operation to make a recording head scan in a scanning direction and an operation to convey the recording medium in a conveying direction perpendicular to the scanning direction, the apparatus comprising: a first conveying roller that is disposed upstream of the recording head in the conveying direction and conveys the recording medium; a second conveying roller that is disposed downstream of the recording head in the conveying direction and conveys the recording medium; a controller that controls the operation to convey the recording medium using the first conveying roller and the second conveying roller; and a memory for storing information on conveyance amount correction values corresponding to rotation phases of the first conveying roller and information on conveyance amount correction values corresponding to rotation phases of the second conveying roller, wherein the controller corrects the conveyance amount in a third conveying operation on the basis of the information on conveyance amount correction value corresponding to rotation phases of the first conveying roller and the information on conveyance amount correction value corresponding to rotation phases of the second conveying roller, and wherein the controller controls the rotation phases of the first conveying roller and the second conveying roller in the third conveying operation to transit from a first conveying operation to convey the recording medium using the first conveying roller and the second conveying roller to a second conveying operation to convey the recording medium using the second conveying roller without using the first conveying roller to reduce the difference between the speed of conveyance by the first conveying roller and the speed of conveyance by the second conveying roller in the third conveying operation.
