Abstract
In a data-recording mode, a driver circuit supplies a recording head with a recording current corresponding to write data. In a degaussing mode, the driver circuit supplies the recording head with a degaussing current for eliminating the residual magnetism of the head as the recording current. The degaussing current has a rising period and falling period set longer than those of the recording current supplied in the data-recording mode.
