  • Patent number: 10110756
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a printing instruction unit which instructs printing a plurality of times in which the same print data is printed on a plurality of media; an obtaining unit which obtains the number of printing failures in the printing of a plurality of times; a display unit which displays the number of defective items (low quality), and the number of defective items (incomplete items) by default, and with which it is possible to select whether or not to perform reprinting; and a CPU which controls the printing instruction unit so as to perform reprinting when reprinting is selected in the display unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8814303
    Abstract: A printing device characterized by comprising a speed-acquiring section that acquires a creation speed when operational data is to be created by data conversion section on the basis of print data, wherein in a case where the creation speed acquired by the speed-acquiring section is lower than a prescribed speed, the speed at which printing section deposits printing matter onto a printing medium is made lower than in a case where the creation speed is higher than the prescribed speed.

  • Patent number: 8517489
    Abstract: The controller of the printing device sets the printing width in the secondary scanning direction of the region of the printing medium onto which ink is deposited by a single driving of the a printing unit, on the basis of the length in the secondary scanning direction of the printing region that is specified based on the printing data, and controls the printing unit on the basis of the set printing width.

  • Patent number: 8459771
    Abstract: A printing device includes a printing section that deposits printing matter onto a printing medium, a printing control section that controls the printing section so as to cause there to be printed on the same printing medium a first image that is based on acquired print data and a second image that extends in a width direction of the printing medium. The printing device further includes width-setting section that sets the length of the second image in the width direction to a length dependent on the size of the first image.

  • Patent number: 8366240
    Abstract: A printer including a printing section with a printing head is disclosed. The printer head includes a plurality of nozzles configured to discharge liquid on a medium at a pass resolution. The printing section being configured to determine the maximum pass number N required to repeatedly move the printing head to print on a section of the medium at a desired resolution. The desired resolution is greater than the pass resolution. The printing section is further configured to determine which passes of N will be designated to discharge the liquid from each nozzle of the plurality of nozzles, and whether or not an idle pass is required for each nozzle of the plurality of nozzles. When an idle pass is required for each nozzle of the plurality of nozzles, the printing section is configured to modify the maximum divided pass number N to divided pass number M, M being less than N.
