To provide a recording apparatus capable of executing the stable recording not
to waste the light energy even when the power/wavelength of the light beam in the
recording apparatus, that records the image/characters onto the recording medium
like the data by employing the light beam, are changed, the circumstances such
as the temperature, the humidity, etc. are changed, and the recording velocity
is changed.
A recording apparatus comprises a recording medium fixing member for fixing a
recording
medium that consists of a superposition of a transfer film and a receiver film,
a main scanning direction moving device for moving the recording medium fixing
member, a laser recording head for emitting a light beam, and a vertical scanning
direction moving device for moving the light beam emitted from the laser recording
head in a vertical scanning direction that is perpendicular to the main scanning
direction, wherein a light intensity distribution of the light beam is almost a
rectangular parallelepiped.
