Abstract
A recording apparatus includes: a recording unit; an adjustment-chart output unit that outputs an adjustment chart for adjusting deviation of a print position between a first dot and a second dot that are formed for images on a recording medium at different timings with a print head; and an ejection-position adjusting unit that records a plurality of combinations, each containing a reference pattern for reference of an image position and adjustment patterns that are deviated from the reference pattern in a stepwise manner such that the deviation amounts are shifted by M-times of a deviation amount corresponding to the recording resolution, receives selection of an adjustment pattern closest to the reference pattern from the outside, obtains an adjustment value based on the adjustment pattern of the selected combination, sets the adjustment value as a new adjustment value, and adjusts an ejection position of the print head.
