Abstract
A double-sided record apparatus for forming images on both sides of a recording medium. The double-sided record apparatus includes: a print head that moves relatively to the record medium and ejects ink onto a face of the record medium; a counting unit configured to count the number of ejected ink droplets to a predetermined area on the record medium from the print head; a comparison unit configured to compare the number of ejected ink droplets counted by the counting unit with a predetermined value; and a determination unit configured to determine whether double-sided record of the record medium is enabled based on a comparison result of the comparison unit.
