A recording apparatus such as a printer for recording an image such as characters and patterns on a recording medium which may be a heat-sensitive paper, ordinary paper or the like. The apparatus has a recording head adapted for making a relative movement with respect to the recording medium so as to record the image on the recording medium, the recording head being adapted to generate heat in a controlled manner thereby to record the image on the recording medium by the heat. The apparatus further has a record image density setting device for setting the density of the image to be recorded on the recording medium by varying, for example, recording voltage applied to the recording head, and a heat-generating period setting device for setting the period of heat generation in the recording head. The period of heat generation in the recording head and the recording speed are controlled in accordance with the value set by the record image density setting device.
