发明名称 Liquid discharging apparatus and transport amount adjustment method
摘要 A liquid discharging apparatus includes a discharging unit that includes a row of nozzles configured to discharge a liquid, the discharging unit being configured to reciprocate in an outward direction and a return direction, the outward and return directions being transverse to the nozzle row; and a transport unit configured to intermittently transport a medium in a direction transverse to the outward and return directions. The liquid discharging apparatus is configured to form at least one adjustment pattern for adjusting a transport amount of each individual transport during the intermittent transport. The liquid discharging apparatus is configured to form the at least one adjustment pattern such that the at least one adjustment pattern includes both an outward direction movement pattern formed while moving the discharging unit in the outward direction and a return direction movement pattern formed while moving the discharging unit in the return direction.

主权项 1. A liquid discharging apparatus, comprising: a discharging unit that includes a nozzle row comprising a plurality of nozzles configured to discharge a liquid, the discharging unit being configured to reciprocate in an outward direction and a return direction opposing the outward direction, the outward and return directions being transverse to the nozzle row; and a transport unit configured to intermittently transport a medium in a direction transverse to the outward and return directions, wherein the liquid discharging apparatus is configured to form at least one adjustment pattern for adjusting a transport amount of each individual transport during the intermittent transport, and wherein the liquid discharging apparatus is configured to form the at least one adjustment pattern such that the at least one adjustment pattern includes: at least one first reference pattern formed while moving the discharging unit in the outward direction,at least one second reference pattern formed while moving the discharging unit in the return direction,at least one first transport amount adjustment pattern formed after the medium is transported a predetermined amount after the at least one first reference pattern is formed, wherein the at least one first transport amount adjustment pattern is formed using a region of he nozzle row different than that used to form the at least one first reference pattern, andat least one second transport amount adjustment pattern formed after the medium is transported a predetermined amount after the at least one second reference pattern is formed, wherein the at least one second transport amount adjustment pattern is formed using a region of the nozzle row different than that used to form the at least one second reference pattern.
