Abstract
A standard print mode or a thinning print mode can be selected at will by an input from an operation panel to record image data received by a receiving means section in a selected print mode using an ink jet recording head, And after one page of image recording, a footer mark is recorded on the trailing portion of the recording paper, and sensed by a photo sensor to determine whether or not the ink is present. This footer mark is recorded in the standard print mode without regard to the selected print mode. Thereby, the false detection of the predetermined image recorded on the recording medium, after a predefined amount of image data has been recorded, can be prevented.
