Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording head, a carrying part, a carriage and a detector that optically detects an image recorded on a recording medium, and a controller that obtains a correction value of recording positions of dots from a test pattern, and corrects the recording positions of the dots based on the correction value. The test pattern includes an adjustment pattern and a reference pattern, the adjustment pattern includes multiple overlapping patterns that are each formed by overlapping two basic patterns, the reference pattern is formed of predetermined patterns that each correspond to the multiple overlapping patterns, the correction value of recording positions of dots, which is obtained by the controller, is calculated based on adjustment detection results respectively obtained by detecting the multiple overlapping patterns and a reference detection result obtained by detecting the predetermined pattern forming the reference pattern, and the controller corrects the recording positions of dots based on the correction value.
