PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording device capable of reducing deviation occurring in frequency of use of a discharge port, by an inexpensive and simple configuration and control, and a recording method.SOLUTION: A recording device performs recording on a recording medium by a recording head H having a recording element row in which a plurality of recording elements are arrayed. The recording device changes a relative positional relationship among mounting units A, B and C capable of being fitted with recording media RMa and RMb having widths smaller than a maximum recording width by the recording element row and the recording element row used for the recording media being fitted to the mounting units A, B and C, and having the widths smaller than the maximum recording width.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】安価かつ単純な構成および制御によって、吐出口の使用頻度に生じる偏りを低減することが可能な記録装置および記録方法の提供を目的とする。【解決手段】記録装置は、複数の記録要素を配列した記録要素列を有する記録ヘッドＨにより記録媒体に記録を行う。記録装置は、記録要素列による最大の記録幅より狭い幅の記録媒体ＲＭａ，ＲＭｂを装着可能な装着ユニットＡ，Ｂ，Ｃと、装着ユニットＡ，Ｂ，Ｃに装着される前記最大の記録幅より狭い幅の記録媒体に使用される記録要素列との相対位置関係を変更させる。【選択図】図６
