Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a liquid ejection head having a nozzle surface to which a plurality of nozzles are formed;
• a relative displacement unit configured to cause the liquid ejection head and a recording medium to relatively displace in a relative displacement direction parallel to the nozzle surface;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein:
• the liquid ejection head has two head units each having the nozzle surface to which the plurality of nozzles arranged in a nozzle arrangement direction intersecting with the relative displacement direction are formed,
• the two head units are arranged while shifting their positions with respect to each other in the relative displacement direction and the nozzle arrangement direction, and
• some of the nozzles of the two head units overlap with each other in the relative displacement direction within a particular overlapping range in the nozzle arrangement direction,
• wherein when a recording command instructing to record an image on a recording medium is input, the controller controls the relative displacement unit to cause the liquid ejection head and the recording medium to relatively displace in the relative displacement direction and, at the same time, controls the two head units to eject liquid from the plurality of nozzles to record an image on the recording medium, and
• wherein when the recording command is an instruction to record, in an area of the recording medium including an area within the overlapping range in the nozzle arrangement direction, a specific image whose length in the nozzle arrangement direction is equal to or less than an arrangement range of the plurality of nozzles of the head unit, the controller controls the two head units to cause only one of the two head units to record the specific image.
