Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a conveying mechanism control unit which performs a first processing and a second processing almost simultaneously, when it is detected that a recording medium has reached a stop position. The first processing is to make invalid the output of a servo computing device and make effective the output in accordance with an output-for-stop setting register. The second processing is to generate an auto stop interrupt to inform that the output in accordance with the output-for-stop setting register is made effective. With this configuration, the recording apparatus enables the increase in speed of a stop operation control processing of a DC motor for use in conveying a recording medium and the improvement of the stop position accuracy of the recording medium.
