印刷装置および印刷方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5614083
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The throughput of a serial printer is improved. A inkjet printer 100 has a print unit that prints on a print medium; a first transportation unit that conveys the print medium in the primary scanning direction; a second transportation unit that conveys the print unit in a secondary scanning direction substantially perpendicular to the primary scanning direction; and a control unit that controls the transportation operations of the first and second transportation units, so that the time required to move the print unit from the stop-printing position where the print unit finishes printing one print area to the start-printing position where transportation for printing the next print area starts is shortest. The control unit also determines a transportation range that may include the print unit going beyond the stop-printing position when the print unit prints the one print area.
