1. A recording apparatus comprising:
an ink tank configured to store ink;
a recording head including a nozzle that ejects the ink;
a carriage having the recording head on board and configured to reciprocate in a first direction and a second direction;
an ink supply channel configured to supply the ink from the ink tank to the recording head and having a bend that moves with movement of the carriage;
one or more memory devices that store a set of instructions; and
one or more processors to execute the set of instructions to perform operations including:
causing the carriage to move;
causing the recording head to eject the ink based on print data to perform recording on a recording medium; and
obtaining, based on the print data, information on an amount of ink to be ejected to a recordable area in which the carriage moves in one of the first direction and the second direction,
wherein a length of the ink supply channel from the bend to the recording head increases in the first direction and decreases in the second direction,
wherein the one or more processors changes acceleration of the carriage according to the amount of ink to be ejected to the recordable area, the amount being indicated by the information,
wherein, in a case where the amount of ink to be ejected to the recordable area is greater than a predetermined value, in recording operation of one image, the one or more processors controls the carriage so that an absolute value of acceleration at deceleration of the carriage, in the first direction in which a length from the bend to the recording head in the ink supply channel is increased by the movement of the carriage, is greater than an absolute value of acceleration at acceleration of the carriage in the first direction in which a length from the bend to the recording head in the ink supply channel is increased by the movement of the carriage.
