ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus comprises a recording head having nozzle holes formed on a nozzle surface which is placed opposite to a recording medium; a platen disposed opposite to the recording head; a cleaner for cleaning the nozzle surface of the recording head in predetermined cycles; a gap adjusting unit for adjusting a gap between the nozzle surface of the recording head and the platen; and a control unit for controlling an operation of the gap adjusting unit. The control unit includes a measuring unit for measuring a value indicating a recording amount of recording performed on the recording medium. The control unit is configured to change a first predetermined gap to a second predetermined gap larger than the first predetermined gap when a specified timing at which a value indicating the recording amount exceeds a predetermined value arrives after the cleaner has cleaned the nozzle surface.
