A recording apparatus uses a first recording head capable of recording in black on a recording medium, and a second recording head capable of recording in black on the recording medium at a recording speed that is lower than a recording speed of the first recording head. The second recording head and the first recording head are interchangeably mountable in the recording apparatus. A detection device detects which one of the first recording head and the second recording head is set. If the detection device detects that the second recording head is set, a storage device stores information received from an external device. For example, if a CPU detects reception of a CALL signal from an external facsimile, and detects a head detection flag indicating that a 6-color recording head having a lower black recording speed has been set, the CPU stores the facsimile data from the external facsimile into a RAM, thereby eliminating the problems involved if the slow 6-color recording head were to be used to immediately record the received facsimile data.
