A recording apparatus includes a recording head having: a discharge port; an actuator; and a driving circuit that selectively supplies to the actuator a discharge driving signal which includes at least one of discharge pulse signals, and a non-discharge driving signal which includes at least one of non-discharge pulse signals. According to the formulas of the invention, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8, which may be identical or different, each represent halogen atoms or hydrogen atoms. A silicone-containing separation layer is at least partially applied on the side of the carrier provided with the interlocking means. The particular node is different from the host. The first logical compartment is data loss independent with respect to the second logical compartment.
