There is provided a recording method of a linear encoder scale for an ink jet printer which detects a recording pattern of a liner encoder scale provided on the whole circumference of a transport belt wound around rollers to output a detection signal and ejects an ink drop from an ink jet head in synchronization with the detection signal of the linear encoder scale. The recording method of a linear encoder scale for an ink jet printer includes counting the number of output signals during the transport belt goes around by a rotary encoder attached to the roller and having a resolution which is an integral multiple of a resolution of a preliminarily set print image and dividing the number of output signals by the integer to calculate the remainder, setting a number of signals of the rotary encoder for recording a pattern on the linear encoder scale so that a number of output signals corresponding to the remainder is dispersed to the whole circumference of the transport belt, and recording the pattern on the linear encoder scale in synchronization with the detection of the set number of signals.
