PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording apparatus that has a reverse conveyance structure, which is difficult in reverse conveyance and is capable of both-sided recording, the recording apparatus being able to securely record and read a test pattern.SOLUTION: From a position where the trailing end of paper is detected, paper is conveyed by a predetermined amount in a reverse direction to an area that does not require the use of a reverse conveyance structure. Thereafter, the step of conveying paper in a normal direction to a position where a recording head records a new test patch and the step of reversely conveying a test patch, recorded by the recording head, to the position where it is read by a reading device, are alternately repeated without using the reverse conveyance structure.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】逆搬送が困難な反転搬送構造を備えた両面記録が可能な記録装置において、テストパターンの記録および読取を確実に行うことが可能な記録装置を提供する。【解決手段】用紙の後端をエッジセンサが検出した位置から、反転搬送構造を介する必要の無い領域まで用紙を所定量逆方向に搬送する。その後、記録ヘッドが新たなテストパッチを記録する位置まで用紙を順方向に搬送する工程と、記録ヘッドが記録したテストパッチを読取デバイスが読み取る位置まで逆方向に搬送する工程とを、反転搬送構造を介することなく交互に繰り返す。【選択図】図４
