ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus having a head mounted on a carriage movable relative to a recording medium. Character data, arranged in a row, is printed and recorded on the recording medium along the direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of movement of the carriage. The carriage is moved to print and record character data corresponding to one line. The recording apparatus comprises at least two storing units respectively having storage regions corresponding to one scan, an identifying device for detecting whether or not there is image data extending over a printing boundary when the image data is developed in one of the storing units, and a controller inhibiting the feeding of the recording medium when the identifying device detects the image data spreading over the printing boundary. The controller also develops a portion of the image data in the other of the storing units and printing it on the recording medium. Thus, an image, which is excellent in quality, can be obtained at a high speed without feeding the recording medium in a reverse direction and by efficiently utilizing the storing units.
