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, 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;
- and
- a controller that controls the operation to convey the recording medium using the first conveying roller and the second conveying roller,
- wherein the controller obtains length information of the recording medium, and a start phase of the first conveying roller in which conveyance of the recording medium by the first conveying roller is started is determined by the controller from obtained length information of the recording medium.
