<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer and a control method of a moving body by which a frequency of need for moving the moving body again in the same direction after the moving body stops this movement, is further reduced. <P>SOLUTION: Scanning from a present position (a stop position at (N-1)th time) to a target position POSD of a carriage is started (S40). When a dot forming region of a next time ((N+1)th time) is obtained (Yes in S50), it is determined which is farther from a start position out of a carriage start position calculated from a first dot position at (N+1)th time and a carriage stop position calculated from a last dot position at Nth time (S60). When the carriage start position at the next time is farther, the target position is reset to the carriage start position at (N+1)th time. When the carriage stop position at this time is farther, the target position is reset to the carriage stop position at Nth time. On the other hand, when the dot forming region at (N+1)th time cannot be obtained (No in S50), the carriage moves to the target position POSD. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
