  • Publication number: 20190344593
    Abstract: To prevent ink of printed images on a recording medium from adhering to pinch rollers, a computer determines whether or not a number of images aligned on a same plane by an image combiner are overlapping with a position of a position data representing positions of pinch rollers. As a result of this determination, when any of the images is overlapping with the position of the position data, the computer relocates these images on a same plane to prevent these images from overlapping with the position of the position data. Thereafter, the computer outputs a command to print the relocated images to a printer.
