  • Patent number: 11491778
    Abstract: A printing device that performs printing on a medium includes an inkjet head, a main scan driving unit, a sub scan driving unit, and a control unit, where the control unit sets a sub-scanning movement amount based on a basic movement amount, which is a basic movement amount set according to print conditions, and a value indicating a distance for increasing or decreasing the sub-scanning movement amount in the print conditions set at the time of inputting an input correction value. Furthermore, a storage is further provided, which stores a first correction coefficient used when the basic movement amount is within a first range, and a second correction coefficient used when the basic movement amount is within a second range smaller than the first range, and the control unit sets the sub-scanning movement amount based on the basic movement amount and the calculated correction value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9707781
    Abstract: A printing control device, a printing device and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. It is possible to set a scan width of a head to a user's desired width. A printing control unit controls a printing device having a head, and includes an input receiving unit for receiving a scan width information representing a width over which the head will move during scanning, and the scan width information is information representing a user's desired numerical value.
