Recording apparatus and recording method

   
   

In a recording apparatus, a recording medium is fixed to a recording medium fixing member. To record a desired image, the recording medium is exposed to light containing image/character data, while the recording medium is moved in the main scan direction, and a plurality of spots arrayed on the recording medium are moved in a direction orthogonal to the main scan direction. In the recording apparatus, first and second exposure operations are performed. In the first exposure operation, the recording medium is exposed to the light containing image/character data, while forming pixel groups or island patterns each consisting of a predetermined number of pixels consecutively arrayed on the recording medium in the main and sub-scan directions. In a second exposure operation and the subsequent ones, the pixels in an unexposed area other than the island patterns on the recording medium are successively exposed to the light.
