Abstract
A recording apparatus for recording on a recording material with a recording unit includes a carriage unit having a carriage that moves relative to the recording material. The carriage mounts the recording unit, which records an image on the recording material, and an adjustment head that includes an adjustment sensor, and a detection sensor is provided on the carriage to detect a position of the recording material. An offset amount is determined between a detected position detected by the detection sensor and a correct position by reading a common mark with the adjustment sensor of the adjustment head and the detection sensor. The recording unit records an image at a corrected position on the recording material based on the determined offset amount.
