A recording apparatus and a signal control method for the recording apparatus
capable
of high speed data reception suitable for each host apparatus and an improved throughput.
The recording apparatus is provided with an interface control block and a CPU,
the former transmitting an ACKX signal representative of a completion of data reception
from a host apparatus to the host apparatus, and the latter controlling not to
output the ACKX signal if it is judged that the ACKX signal is unnecessary, and
to output the ACKX signal with an optimum width if it is judged that the ACKX signal
is necessary.
