Abstract
A recording apparatus including a recording device for recording line of images on a recording medium, and a feeding device having a stepping motor for feeding the recording medium in a feeding direction perpendicular to the recording lines. The apparatus has a signal generator for generating a timing pulse in timed relation with the start of recording of each recording line so that the recording of each line is started in response to the timing pulse. Further, the stepping motor is stepped to feed the recording medium from one line to another, in response to the timing pulse, such that the stepping of the motor from one excitation phase to the next produces an incremental feeding distance of the medium which is equal to 1/n of a line spacing of the recording lines, where n represents a positive natural number.
