Recording apparatus and recording method

摘要

A recording apparatus includes a transport mechanism that can intermittently move a movable belt capable of supporting a recording medium; a feeding unit that feeds the recording medium left in a stretched state to the movable belt by receiving tension from the recording medium in response to the intermittent movement of the movable belt; and a recording mechanism that performs recording by causing a recording head to reciprocate in a direction which intersects a transport direction of the recording medium. When the load sensor detects the load which is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, a load reduction mode for decelerating an acceleration speed during the intermittent movement of the movable belt is performed.
