Abstract
A recording apparatus having a discriminating unit for discriminating the type of a recording medium loaded on a loading unit. The discriminating unit discriminates the type of a subsequent recording medium responsive to the previous recording medium being fed by a predetermined length during recording of the previous recording medium. The recording apparatus also includes a sensor for detecting the trailing edge of the recording medium. The recording apparatus confirms whether image data for recording on the subsequent recording medium is stored before or after detection of the trailing edge of the previous recording medium.
