Abstract

A recording apparatus that has a recording head and a flexible printed circuit board. The recording head, which performs recording on a recording medium, has a plurality of recording elements. One end of the flexible printed circuit board has plurality of feeder wires that connect to one of the terminal lands of each of the recording elements. A first common voltage wire connects the other terminal lands of each of the recording elements to a common potential. A drive circuit is attached to the flexible printed circuit board to drive the recording head via the feeder wires. The other end of the flexible printed circuit board is connected to another circuit board used by the recording apparatus.
