A recording apparatus provided with an interface for supplying an electric power to a connected electronic apparatus, and capable of performing a recording operation on a recording medium by the use of a recording head. A power source supplying unit supplies predetermined electric power to the electronic apparatus connected to the interface, and a detecting unit detects that the electronic apparatus has been connected. An acquiring unit acquires power information of the electronic apparatus, such as information indicating the nature of the interface or information indicating the power requirements. Based on detection of the connection by the detecting unit and the power information acquired by the acquiring unit, a control unit effects a change over of control of the recording operation.
