Abstract
In a feeding course, a first design side end position Xsn of a paper is calculated. A first side end position of the paper is detected by a paper width detector, and the detected position is set to a first side end position Xd1. When the paper is fed from an additional cassette and a paper end detection flag F1=1, an ejection starting position adjustment amount ΔX=Xd1−Xsn is set. However, when the deviation amount is not |Xd1−Xsn|≦L, the ejection starting position adjustment amount ΔX is limited to a limit value L.
Claims7
A recording apparatus on which a feeding device is detachably mounted for feeding a recording medium, the apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports the recording medium;
- a recording unit that records the recording medium;
- an acquisition unit that acquires a theoretical side end position in a width direction intersecting with a transport direction of the recording medium;
- a detection unit that detects a side end position of the recording medium which is fed from the feeding device;
- a calculation unit that calculates a deviation amount between the side end position detected by the detection unit and the theoretical side end position as an adjustment amount;
- and
- an adjustment unit that adjusts a recording range of the recording unit by the use of the adjustment amount,
- wherein the adjustment unit adjusts the recording range in a first page of an initial recording after at least the feeding device is mounted.
A recording method in a recording apparatus on which a feeding device is detachably mounted for feeding a recording medium, the method comprising:
- detecting a side end position in a width direction intersecting with a transport direction of the recording medium which is fed from the feeding device;
- calculating a deviation amount between the side end position detected during the detecting of the side end position and a theoretical side end position as an adjustment amount;
- and
- adjusting a recording range of the recording unit by the use of the adjustment amount,
- wherein, in the adjusting of the recording range, the recording range is adjusted in a first page of an initial recording after at least the feeding device is mounted.
