PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording device which is capable of performing high-quality recording by detecting the trajectory of a discharged ink droplet and obtaining a deviation amount from a predetermined recording position, so as to correct the deviation amount and to provide a recording control method used for the recording device. SOLUTION: The trajectory in a sub-scanning direction of an ink droplet discharged from a recording head is detected in such a manner that a light beam which is emitted from a light emitting element and becomes a parallel light beam is made incident to be perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the discharge port of the recording head, by a plurality of light receiving elements arranged in the arrangement direction of the discharge port of the recording head. Similarly, the trajectory in a main scanning direction of the ink droplet is detected in such a manner that the light beam which becomes the parallel light beam is made incident in the arrangement direction of the discharge port of the recording head, by the plurality of light receiving elements arranged in the moving direction of the recording head. Then, the adhesion deviation amount of the ink droplet is calculated from the obtained trajectory and corrected by controlling a pulse signal driving the recording head. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
