Print control device, printing device and printing method

摘要

The object of the invention is to effectively prevent a medium from swelling due to ejected liquid, and prevent a head and the medium from contacting each other. When “strong rubbing prevention” is selected in the “rubbing prevention settings”, the margin amount of the paper P is enlarged and printing is conducted. Therefore, by enlarging the margin amount, the paper can be prevented from swelling due to ejected ink, and the paper and the printing head can be more reliably prevented from contacting each other (paper rubbing).

主权项

1. A print control device comprising:
a head configured and arranged to eject liquid onto a medium; a printing mechanism configured and arranged to conduct printing of an image onto the medium by the head; and an enlarged margin printing selection unit configured to determine whether the printing is to be conducted with enlarging a margin amount in the medium or not prior to conducting the printing, wherein the printing mechanism is controlled to conduct the printing with enlarging the margin amount in the medium compared to a set margin amount in the medium when the printing with enlarging the margin amount in the medium is selected by the enlarged margin printing selection unit, the printing mechanism includes a distance adjusting unit configured to adjust a distance between the head and the medium, and in a case in which the printing is conducted with enlarging the margin amount in the medium, the distance adjusting unit is controlled to make a distance between the head and the medium larger than that of a case in which the printing is conducted without enlarging the margin amount in the medium.
