DRAWING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

A drawing apparatus (1) is provided with: a drawing device (13) for drawing a predetermined pattern onto a label surface (120), which is provided for a recording medium (100), by irradiating the label surface with a laser beam (LB); a driving device (15) for driving the drawing device along the label surface; a voltage applying device (17) for applying each of a first voltage and a second voltage for driving the driving device, to the driving device; and a controlling device (31) for controlling the voltage applying device such that the first voltage and the second voltage have a same polarity and amplitude when the drawing device is located at an initial position corresponding to a position at which the drawing of the desired pattern is started with respect to the label surface.
