Abstract:
A recording apparatus which suppresses banding which occurs on a recording surface of a medium.

Claim (Index 9):
A recording apparatus, comprising:\n a recording head which discharges a liquid onto a medium which is transported to perform recording; a transport roller pair which is provided on a medium transport direction upstream side of the recording head and includes an upstream side drive roller which is driven by a first drive source and an upstream side driven roller which contacts the upstream side drive roller and is driven to rotate; an output roller pair which is provided on a medium transport direction downstream side of the recording head and includes a downstream side drive roller which is driven by a second drive source and a downstream side driven roller which contacts the downstream side drive roller and is driven to rotate; a medium detector which detects a position of an end portion of the medium in a medium transport direction; a control unit which controls discharging the liquid from the recording head; and an upstream correction table which is used in correction of a medium transport speed at the transport roller pair, and a downstream correction table which is used in correction of a medium transport speed at the output roller pair, which are referred to by the control unit, wherein correction values which configure the upstream correction table include a value for correcting an error in the medium transport speed which originates from eccentricity of a rotating shaft of the upstream side drive roller, and correction values which configure the downstream correction table include a value for correcting an error in the medium transport speed which originates from eccentricity of a rotating shaft of the downstream side drive roller, wherein, based on detection results of the medium detector, the control unit determines a transport state from among\n a first transport state in which a single sheet of the medium is transported by the transport roller pair and is not transported by the output roller pair, \n a second transport state in which the single sheet of the medium is transported by both the transport roller pair and the output roller pair, and \n a third transport state in which the single sheet of the medium is transported by the output roller pair and is not transported by the transport roller pair, and \n wherein when the single sheet of the medium is in the first transport state, the control unit uses the upstream correction table to control a discharge timing of the liquid, wherein when the single sheet of the medium is in the second transport state, the control unit uses either the upstream correction table or the downstream correction table to control the discharge timing of the liquid, and wherein when the single sheet of the medium is in the third transport state, the control unit uses the downstream correction table to control the discharge timing of the liquid.
