A recording apparatus configured to cause a recording head to move and scan in a reciprocating manner includes a buffer configured to store raster data including multivalued data, a table in which a plurality of dot patterns is defined for a value of the multivalued data and including a dot pattern corresponding to the value, a first information storage unit configured to store an initial value of the dot pattern according to a direction of scanning by the recording head and the value of the multivalued data, a second information storage unit configured to store information indicating an empty raster in which every multivalued data of a raster has a value of “0”, a determination unit configured to execute evaluation of the value of the multivalued data and determination as to whether a raster is the empty raster for each raster, a raster control unit configured to execute control for storing the initial value on the first information storage unit, control for storing the information on the second information storage unit, and control for storing multivalued data on the buffer according to a result of the evaluation and the determination by the determination unit, and a generation unit configured to, based on the initial value stored by the first information storage unit and the table, read the multivalued data from the buffer and generate a dot pattern based on the read multivalued data.
