An ink jet recording apparatus includes a carriage for reciprocal movement while carrying a recording head for effecting recording by ejecting ink; a platen for supporting recording material at a position opposed to the recording head; a changing member for changing a distance between the recording head and the platen; a detecting member, provided on the carriage, for detecting recording positional deviation by reading a pattern recorded on a recording material by the recording head; a member to be detected that is movable with an operation of the changing member; and a discriminating unit for discriminating a distance between the recording head and the platen by detecting a state of the member to be detected by the detecting member.
