ABSTRACT:
An image is recorded by repeating a recording operation which includes a main scanning operation performed by moving a recording head in which recording elements are arrayed in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the recording elements are arrayed. A vertical scanning operation is performed by moving a recording medium in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal scanning direction through a distance corresponding to a recording width after the horizontal scanning operation is completed. When image data having a width narrower than a maximum recording width of the recording head is recorded, for example when a reduction recording is performed, a number of image data having the narrower width are combined so that image data having the maximum recording width can be recorded in one recording operation using the plurality of recording elements. Consequently, when image data having a width narrower than the maximum recording width of the recording head is recorded, the image quality and the recording speed are improved.
