A carriage effects image recording on a recording medium during reciprocating motions in the main scanning direction on the recording medium. At a timing (2) in the forward movement and (3) in the reverse movement, an instruction is given to start the conveying operation of the recording medium, and, in response a conveying apparatus moves the recording medium by a predetermined amount in the subscanning direction, corresponding to the recording scanning width of the recording head. This movement of the recording medium is completed during the deceleration, stopping, reversing and acceleration of the carriage, before the arrival thereof at the recording start position. The recording process speed can be increased since the conveying operation of the recording medium is completed while the recording head executes operations required for the reversing of the moving direction. Also disclosed is the control in case the conveying operation of the recording medium is not completed. <IMAGE> |
