The recording apparatus of the present invention has a paper feed roller placed further upstream in a conveying direction in a normal conveying direction of the recording medium than a record head for recording on recording paper and a sheet inverting portion for inverting the recording paper like a loop and feeding it to the paper feed roller. The recording apparatus is constituted to stand by, for a predetermined time, for the conveying of the recording paper in a state in which a leading end of a backside of the recording paper in the normal conveying direction is in the sheet inverting portion in the process of inverting the recording paper in the sheet inverting portion.
