To appropriately suppress dot displacement even if there is a variation of a roller diameter.

A recording apparatus includes: a conveying roller for conveying a medium to be recorded; an encoder means for outputting a signal according to the rotation of the conveying roller; a detector for detecting a reference position of the encoder means; a memory for storing correction data related to the drive control of the recording head according to a conveying speed; and a controller for driving and controlling the recording head using the correction data stored in the memory based on signals from the encoder and the detector.
