Abstract: A processor of a printer conveys a platen relative to a head in a conveyance direction, toward a printing position. The printing position is a position at which a nozzle surface of the head faces the platen in a discharge direction. The printer is provided with a first sensor. The first sensor detects a print medium positioned at a first detection position. The first detection position is a position separated from the nozzle surface in the discharge direction. When the print medium is detected by the first sensor after a start of conveyance of the platen, the processor moves the platen relative to the nozzle surface and separates the platen from the nozzle surface in the discharge direction. After that, the processor conveys the platen relative to the head in the conveyance direction, toward the printing position.

Abstract: A printer is provided with a head, a platen, a conveyer, and a processor. The head performs printing on a print medium. The platen supports the print medium. The conveyer conveys the platen in a conveyance direction. The processor acquires a platen size. The platen size is a size of the platen in the conveyance direction. When the processor acquires a first platen size, the processor controls a conveyance operation of the platen such that a conveyance time period of the platen between a set position and a printing position is a first time period. When the processor acquires a second platen size, the processor controls the conveyance operation of the platen such that the conveyance time period of the platen between the set position and the printing position is a second time period different from the first time period.
