Abstract
An apparatus for recording an image by discharging an ink droplet to a recording medium includes a timer for setting a predetermined time in accordance with the type of the recording medium so that the recording operation is interrupted or conveyance of the recording medium is interrupted during the predetermined time in order to prevent contact between a previously discharged recording medium and a recording medium which is being discharged so that generation of smear and adhesion between recorded recording mediums are prevented regardless of the type of the recording medium.
