Recording apparatus and recording method

摘要

A predetermined pattern is printed on a recording sheet 9 for monitor by using a recording head, and read by a reading device 11 so that abnormal recording elements are detected. Thus, a non-defective image is obtained in such a way that based on this detection result, image data to be given to abnormal recording element is moved to image data of other recording elements to complement the recording. Despite the occurrence of abnormal recording elements, a desired non-defective image can be obtained. <IMAGE>
