Patent ID: 7744187

Claim:
A recording apparatus comprising: a conveying roller configured to convey a recording material disposed upstream of a recording head for making a recording on the recording material in a direction in which the recording material is conveyed; an eject roller configured to convey the recording material disposed downstream of the recording head in the direction in which the recording material is conveyed, wherein the recording apparatus is capable of recording in an area of the recording material while the recording material is engaged by the eject roller and not engaged by the conveying roller using the recording head; and a control unit configured to calculate a third correction value for a conveying amount of the recording material, when a trailing end of the recording material is separated from the conveying roller, using a first correction value associated with an area of the recording material conveyed by the conveying roller and the eject roller and a second correction value associated with an area of the recording material conveyed by only the eject roller, wherein the third correction value is determined from a ratio of the length of the area of the recording material conveyed by the conveying roller and the eject roller to the length of the area of the recording material conveyed by the eject roller during a line feed when the trailing end of the recording material is separated from the conveying roller.
