Abstract
A double-side recording apparatus includes a recording section that performs recording by ejecting liquid to a sheet-shaped medium; a reversing section that reverses the medium after recording on one side of the medium; a capping section of the recording section; a moving section that moves the recording section to a second position where the recording section is capped and a first position other than the second position; and a controller that controls the moving section and the capping section. The controller determines whether a waiting time set to cause recording to wait for drying exceeds a threshold value before a reversing operation by the reversing section is initiated after recording on the one side of the medium is completed. After the recording section completes recording on the one side of the medium, the controller controls the recording section to wait at the first position without moving the recording section to the second position when the waiting time does not exceed the threshold value, and controls the recording section to wait in a capping state by moving the recording section to the second position when the waiting time exceeds the threshold value.
