Abstract
A recording apparatus which has reduced the speed variation and vibration of the motor uses a step motor as a driving source for a carrier for carrying a carriage mounted with a recorder or a recording medium. The apparatus includes a controller that, on accelerating the step motor, controls the step motor so that the step motor is driven with a shorter period than the mechanical time constant of the carrier when the rotary speed of the motor is less than a specified value, and so that the motor is driven with a longer period than the mechanical time constant when the rotary speed of the motor is more than the specified value.
