Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a carriage, a carriage mover including a motor to move the carriage, a motor controller configured to control the motor, a power supply configured to selectively apply a first voltage or a second voltage to the motor controller, the second voltage being higher than the first voltage, and a transmitter to transmit a control signal for movement of the carriage when a predetermined control condition is satisfied. The first voltage is a voltage enabling the motor controller to move the carriage at a first speed by the motor. The second voltage is a voltage enabling the motor controller to move the carriage at a second speed by the motor, the second speed being higher than the first speed. The power supply applies the first voltage to the motor controller in a state where the transmitter transmits the control signal.

Abstract: A printer includes a media feeder to feeding media in a feed direction, a print head to eject droplets of ink onto the media, heaters to heat the media, and a controller to perform a printing operation corresponding to received print data by causing the media feeder to feed the media heated by the heaters and causing the print head to eject the droplets of ink onto the media based on the print data, the controller being configured or programmed to move the media and/or the heaters during the print idle time before performing the printing operation.
