发明名称 Recording apparatus and method
摘要 A recording apparatus records an image onto a recording medium by repeating processes of: ejecting liquid from a nozzle in a liquid ejecting head while the liquid ejecting head is scanning the recording medium in a first direction; and transporting the recording medium in a second direction intersecting the first direction. This recording apparatus includes: an inclination acquisition section that acquires an inclination of the liquid ejecting head; and a recording controller that records a first image and a second image onto the recording medium through a first scan and a second scan independent of the first scan, respectively. The recording controller corrects a connection misalignment between the first and second images by displacing a recorded location of the second image in the first direction in accordance with the inclination, and reduces the displacement when a non-recorded region is present between the first and second images.

主权项 1. A recording apparatus that records an image onto a recording medium by repeating a process of ejecting liquid to the recording medium from a nozzle in a liquid ejecting head over a period in which the liquid ejecting head is scanning the recording medium in a first direction and a process of transporting the recording medium in a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction, the recording apparatus comprising: an inclination acquisition section that acquires an inclination of the liquid ejecting head; and a recording controller that records a first image and a second image onto the recording medium through a first scan and a second scan, respectively, the first scan and the second scan being independent of each other, wherein the recording controller corrects a connection misalignment between the first image and the second image by displacing a recorded location of the second image in the first direction in accordance with the inclination, and the recording controller determines whether or not a non-recorded region where no dots are to be formed is present between the first image and the second image in the print data, and the recording controller reduces the displacement when a non-recorded region is present between the first image and the second image.
