Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a first power supply having a first output voltage, a second power supply having a second output voltage different from the first output voltage, and a recording circuit for recording input digital data on a recording medium selectively using the first power supply or the second power supply. The recording circuit selectively uses the first power supply or the second power supply in accordance with a state of the input digital data. It is thereby possible to reduce power consumption in the circuitry of the apparatus during recording.
