Abstract
A recording apparatus includes recording means for recording information on a continuous recording medium at a recording position; means for supplying the recording medium to the recording position and delivering it from the recording position; first detecting means, arranged at a delivery side of the recording medium with respect to the recording position, for detecting the presence/absence of the recording medium; and second detecting means, arranged at a feed side of the recording medium with respect to the recording position, for detecting the presence/absence of the recording medium. The second detecting means is spaced apart from the recording position by a distance longer than a length of one page of an image to be recorded.

A recording apparatus including:
- recording means for recording information on a continuous recording medium at a recording position;
- means for supplying said continuous recording medium to the recording position and delivering said continuous recording medium from the recording position;
- first detecting means, arranged at a delivery side of said continuous recording medium with respect to the recording position, for detecting the presence/absence of said continuous recording medium;
- and
- second detecting means, arranged at a feed side of said continuous recording medium with respect to the recording position, for detecting the presence/absence of said continuous recording medium, said second detecting means being spaced apart from the recording position by a distance longer than a length of one page of an image to be recorded.
A recording apparatus including:
- recording means for recording information on a continuous recording medium at a recording position;
- means for feeding said continuous recording medium to the recording position and delivering said continuous recording medium for the recording position;
- detecting means, located at a feed side of said continuous recording medium with respect to the recording position, for detecting the presence/absence of said continuous recording medium, said detecting means being spaced apart from the recording position by a distance longer than one of page of an image to be recorded;
- and
- control means for controlling to cause said recording means to perform recording on the basis of a detection result from said detecting means, said control means being adapted to cause said recording means to continue recording upon detection of the absence of said continuous recording medium by said detecting means after recording of said one page of the image is started.
