Abstract
A recording apparatus for editing electrical image data output by a data processing system and for visually recording the image data on a recording medium. The recording apparatus is provided with magnet and lead switch pairs for detecting breadthwise size of the recording medium. The size of the recording medium supplied thereto and the size of the image area to be recorded on the recording medium are determined based upon the detected breadth. An image editing unit is provided within the recording apparatus for editing the electrical image data output from the data processing system in an area of memory corresponding to the size of the above determined image area, for outputting the edited data to a printing unit whereby the image data is visually recorded in the image area of the recording medium.
