Publication number: 20060077242Abstract: A printing device has a first part and a second part and prints an image on a medium adapted to be transported from the first part to the second part in a transport direction and having a notch disposed at a back end portion in the transport direction. A printing head is disposed between the first part and the second part and is adapted to eject ink to the medium. A first driver is operable to drive one of a pair of rollers adapted to nip the medium to form a nip portion therebetween so that the rollers transport the medium from the first part to the second part in the transport direction. A second driver is operable to drive the printing head so that the printing head ejects the ink to the medium. An anticipator anticipates a location of the back and portion. A controller is operable to control the second driver so as to cause the printing head not to eject the ink in association with the location anticipated by the anticipator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2005Publication date: April 13, 2006Applicant: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Tetsuji Takeishi, Hisataka Kugimachi
