Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a medium transport mechanism that transports a recording medium in a transport direction, a print head that ejects a liquid onto the recording medium, a printing section that performs printing by ejecting a liquid from the print head onto the recording medium based on print data, and a controller that controls a suspension and a resumption of a printing operation at a dividing position that has been designated in the print data.
Claims8
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a medium transport mechanism that transports a recording medium in a transport direction;
- a print head that ejects a liquid onto the recording medium;
- a printing section that performs printing by ejecting a liquid from the print head onto the recording medium based on print data;
- a controller that controls a suspension and a resumption of a printing operation at a dividing position;
- and
- a display unit that indicates one or more candidate dividing positions for suspending a printing operation to instruct a selection, wherein the dividing positions are based on the print data.
A printing method of a printing apparatus, wherein the printing apparatus comprises a medium transport mechanism that transports a recording medium in a transport direction, a print head that ejects a liquid onto the recording medium, a printing section that performs printing by ejecting a liquid from the print head onto the recording medium based on print data, the method comprising:
- suspending a printing operation at a dividing position;
- resuming the printing operation;
- and
- indicating on a display unit one or more candidate dividing positions for suspending a printing operation to instruct a selection, wherein the dividing positions are based on the print data.
