by causing a recording head for discharging ink to relatively scan the recording medium in a first direction, comprising:
conveying means which conveys the recording medium in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
acquiring means which acquires information about the quantity of ink to be applied to individual unit regions obtained by
dividing a region corresponding to the one surface of said recording medium in the first direction and in the second direction;
and
determining means which determines a period from the end of operation relating to recording on the one surface of said recording
medium, until the start of operation relating to recording on the other surface of said recording medium,
wherein said determining means determines said on the basis of information relating to the quantity of applied ink for the
individual unit regions acquired by said acquiring means and information relating to a position in the second direction of
