Patent ID: 7744186

Claim:
A recording apparatus comprising: a head; a transport mechanism that transports a medium in a transport direction with respect to the head, according to a target transport amount; a memory that stores a plurality of correction values associated with a relative position of the head and the medium; and a controller that controls the transport mechanism based on the target transport amount that has been corrected, after correcting the target transport amount based on correction values, which are in number according to a size of the target transport amount, and which include the correction value according to the relative position when transporting by the target transport amount; wherein each correction value is associated with a range of the relative position to be applied with that correction value, and the controller corrects the target transport amount by assigning weights to the correction value according to a ratio of a range of the relative position that changes when transporting by the target transport amount to the range of the relative position to be applied with the correction value.
