Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit, a determination unit, a generation unit, an identification unit, and a control unit. The recording unit records image data on a recording medium. The determination unit determines plural recording media to be allocated to a same group. The generation unit generates order information indicating an order of each recording medium in the group. The order information includes identification information identifying each recording medium. The identification unit identifies a recording medium in the group based on the identification information. The control unit controls the recording unit to record, on each of the plural recording media belonging to the same group, information representing an order of the identified recording medium in the group and information representing a total number of the recording media belonging to the same group, based on an identification result obtained by the identification unit and the order information.
