Recording device and control method of the recording device

Abstract

The invention provides a recording device and a control method of the recording device. The recording device comprises a recording head (18) and a recording head moving part of a bracket driving motor (35) for reciprocating motion of the recording head (18). A CPU (61) is used for control to record media in a moving scope of the recording head (18) and to move the recording head (18) to perform recording at the same time. The CPU (61) makes the recording head (18) cross the edge of the recording media to move to a recoding starting position of a recording medium (100) when at the beginning of recording, the recording head (18) is deviating from the position of the recording medium. Based on a moving starting position, an upper limit of a moving speed of the recording head (18) is changed into a speed lower than a set upper limit speed. Accordingly, faults caused by the stranding of the recording head on the recording media can be avoided and higher recording quality can be kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording device for recording an image on a recording medium, and a control method for the recording device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a recording device that scans a recording head on a recording medium to perform recording, when the recording head runs aground on a recording medium where the thickness of the recording medium changes, or on a recording medium with a thickness, the recording head moves from the recording medium Leaving, resulting in a part of the text and other problems such as not being recorded. In order to solve this problem, for example, there is a technique of detecting a change in the thickness of the recording medium with an optical sensor and reducing the driving speed of the recording head when the thickness changes (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: JP Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-117277 [0004] In addition, the phenomenon...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In addition, the phenomenon that the recording head is separated from the recording medium occurs not only when the recording head runs aground at the level difference that the recording medium has, but also when the recording head runs aground at the edge of the recording medium, and in this case, there is a difficulty Problems detecting the height or position of steps using optical sensors, etc.

Therefore, the conventional countermeasure to prevent the degradation of recording quality when the recording head is stranded is to drive the recording head at a low speed, but there is a problem of causing a decrease in throughput.
