Printing Device and Control Method of a Printing Device

摘要

A printer and a control method of a printer can print barcodes appropriately according to a given print medium by means of a simple, easy operation. The printer stores a constant preset correction value relationally corresponding to each type of print medium. The printer also stores an added correction value that is optionally input for each specific type of print medium. The preset constant correction value and the added correction value are used to adjust the printed state of the barcode, e.g. to adjust bar widths within the barcode. The print control unit prints barcodes as adjusted using the preset constant correction value stored in the printer storage unit and further adjusted using the added correction value.

1. A printing device comprising:
an inkjet head configured to eject ink; an interface configured to connect to a host computer; a controller configured to receive a print data including a barcode through the interface and a command specifying an added correction value, and control the inkjet head to print the print data; and a storage configured to store a preset constant correction value corresponding to a type of print media and the added correction value to correspond to the type of print media; wherein:
when the type of print media is specified, the controller defines a corrected barcode by correcting the barcode included in the print data based on the preset constant correction value corresponding to the type of print media specified and the added correction value corresponding to the type of print media specified.
