Abstract
A recording apparatus has an automatic feed device for feeding recording media one by one, and a pair of carriage rollers for carrying a recording medium P thus fed, to a recording section. The recording apparatus is constructed to be used in a plurality of recording modes. In the recording apparatus, a registration method of the recording medium P to the recording section is selected depending upon a recording mode selected. The apparatus of this structure solved the prior-art problems that a long time was necessary from sheet feed to recording start in the case of registration of the recording medium P by the nip between the carriage roller pair, so as to be a bottleneck in increase of recording speed and that disturbance of the image became prominent due to registration deviation in the case of registration at the side of the recording medium.
