Recording apparatus and method for manufacturing recorded product thereby

A method for producing an ink jet recorded product by recording an image, with an ink jet recording device including a platen, on a recording medium having been conveyed to a position opposite to the recording device, said method comprising the steps of:

• conveying the recording medium to a recording region where the platen is disposed;
• detecting a floating angle of the recording medium with respect to the platen;
• and
• selecting either a first mode to continue a recording operation by varying a distance between the recording device and the recording medium in accordance with a detected result of said detecting step or a second mode to stop the recording operation.

A method for producing an ink jet recorded product by recording an image, with an ink jet recording device including a platen, on a recording medium having been conveyed to a position opposite to the recording device, said method comprising the steps of:

• conveying the recording medium to a recording region where the platen is disposed;
• detecting a floating amount of the recording medium with respect to the platen;
• calculating a floating angle of the recording medium with respect to the platen based on the detected floating amount;
• and
• selecting a first mode at which recording is continued when said calculated floating angle is less than a predetermined angle and a second mode at which recording is interrupted when said calculated floating angle exceeds the predetermined angle.

A recording apparatus for recording an image, with a recording device, on a recording medium having been conveyed to a position opposite to the recording device, said apparatus comprising:

• a platen;
• detecting means for detecting a floating angle of the recording medium with respect to the platen;
• and
• control means for interrupting recording by the recording device when the floating angle detected by said detecting means exceeds a predetermined angle.
