Abstract

An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a sensor serving as a unit that detects a position of a trailing end of a recording sheet and a control unit serving as a unit that generates a layout of an image to be recorded. The control unit decides a position of the trailing end of the recording sheet based on a result of the sensor detection and layout information, calculates a recordable area, and performs control for not recording an image in areas other than the recordable area. A CPU in the control unit corrects the result of the sensor detection in deciding a position of the trailing end of the recording sheet.
