Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording portion; a conveying portion that conveys the sheet, while imparting tension to the sheet, in a forward direction and a backward direction; a position detecting portion that detects a position of the sheet in a width direction of the sheet; a position adjustment portion that adjusts a position of the sheet in the width direction; and a control portion that executes a position adjustment operation in which, after conveying the sheet in the backward direction following a recording operation by the recording portion, the sheet is conveyed by the conveying portion in the forward direction while adjusting the position of the sheet in the width direction using the position adjustment portion. A conveying distance of the sheet in the backward direction in the position adjustment operation is determined on the basis of a detection result by the position detecting portion.
