Provided is a liquid jet recording apparatus which maintains a function of adjusting pressure of liquid jetted from a jetting portion toward a recording medium and which still has a simple apparatus structure. In the liquid jet recording apparatus, a pressure sensor is provided in a tube between a liquid storing portion and a roller tube pump, the pressure of liquid which flows through the tube is measured, a pressure value is sent to a control portion, the pressure value is compared with lower limit values and upper limit values stored in a definition file stored in the control portion, a corresponding drive signal is sent to a drive portion, a roller tube pump is driven in a normal direction or in a reverse direction by a drive portion, and in this way, the pressure of the liquid in a jetting portion is adjusted.
