<p>In a recording apparatus or more specifically an ink-jet printer, a plurality of gears (32, 33, 34) are disposed in parallel with the direction of movement of a carriage (2) and a slide gear (44) which is connected with the carriage (2) outside of the recording space and which is made to engage with one of a plurality of the gears (32, 33, 34) corresponding the moving position of the carriage. The control sequences each for causing a gear being shifted from one gear engagement position (D; C) to the adjacent position (C; H), are so combined that the gear can be shifted past the adjacent gear engagement position (C) to a desired gear engagement position (H) and the overlapped operations (step S2, S3) in each of the gear shift control sequence combinations can be skipped. <IMAGE></p> |
