Abstract

A recording apparatus comprises a carriage for holding a recording head for recording on a recording medium; a platen positioned opposite to the recording head for supporting the recording medium at a recording area; a conveying device rotatable for introducing the recording medium into the recording area; a passage for introducing, after the recording medium passes the recording head, the recording medium into the conveying device by rendering a lower end of the recording medium as a front end in a conveyance direction; and a line buffer memory for temporarily storing serial recording data of one scanning line of the recording head, the recording data being expandable to H stages and M columns. The recording apparatus is actuated in a double side recording mode; the recording means records one side of the recording medium; after making the recording medium pass through the passage and be set at a recording commencement position for the other side thereof, the recording medium is conveyed in a forward conveyance direction to render an upper end of the recording medium as a front end in a reverse conveyance direction by rotating the conveying device; and the recording medium is conveyed in the reverse conveyance direction and the recording head records on the other side of the recording medium by transmission from the line buffer memory to the recording head the serial recording data reversely permuted so that data at the H stage and the M column constitute data at the first stage and the first column.
