Recording apparatus
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit configured to record a first dot and a second dot having a diameter smaller than that of the first dot on a recording medium, and a scanning unit configured to move the recording unit in a scanning direction. A recording resolution of the second dot in the scanning direction is lower than a recording resolution of the first dot in the scanning direction.
1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a recording unit configured to record a first dot and a second dot having a diameter smaller than that of the first dot on a recording medium; and
a scanning unit configured to move the recording unit in a scanning direction,
wherein a recording resolution of the second dot in the scanning direction is lower than a recording resolution of the first dot in the scanning direction,
wherein the recording unit is configured to record a third dot having a diameter smaller than that of the first dot and larger than that of the second dot, and
wherein a recording resolution of the third dot in the scanning direction is equal to a recording resolution of the second dot in the scanning direction.
2. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the recording unit includes a first recording element disposed corresponding to a discharge port for recording the first dot, a second recording element disposed corresponding to a discharge port for recording the second dot, a third recording element disposed corresponding to a discharge port for recording the third dot, and a common wiring provided for the second element and the third element.
3. The recording apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the second recording element and the third recording element are driven alternately.
