  • Patent number: 11679585
    Abstract: A printing apparatus that performs printing by using a print head includes a first power supply, a second power supply, and a control unit. The first power supply supplies a first voltage to the print head through a first supply line. The second power supply supplies a second voltage to the print head through a second supply line. The control unit supplies the first voltage from the first power supply without supplying a voltage from the second power supply at the time of an inspection of the print head, and executes a process action concerning a current leakage when a voltage exceeding a predetermined first threshold is generated on the second supply line.

  • Publication number: 20220305808
    Abstract: A technique capable of correcting the inclination of a light in the height direction to suppress deterioration in the printing quality is to be provided. Regarding a detecting unit capable of detecting a placed nail portion by use of a light whose distance in a predetermined direction is maintained to a predetermined distance, a correction value for correcting the deviation of the nail portion from a position corresponding to the predetermined distance in the predetermined direction, which is caused by the inclination of the light, is obtained. Further, based on a result of the detection by the detecting unit and the correction value, a condition for printing performed by a printing unit on the nail portion is adjusted for printing.
