Printing device, printing method and recording medium

A printing method of a printing device, the printing device comprising a print head configured to perform printing, a marker for guiding operation of the printing device, and a sensor configured to detect a moving direction and a moving distance of the printing device, and the printing method comprising:

• processing of, when a print instruction is received, setting a print start position based on a position of the marker at a time at which the print instruction is received;
• processing of, while the printing device moves in a first direction, disabling the print head from performing the printing, and acquiring a first moving distance of the printing device in the first direction from the sensor;
• processing of, while the printing device moves in a second direction which is different from the first direction, determining that the print head has reached the printing start position when a second moving distance of the printing device in the second direction is detected by the sensor, the second moving distance being a distance obtained by subtracting a first distance from the first moving distance, and the first distance being a distance between the print head and the marker;
• and
• processing of, when it is determined that the print head has reached the printing start position, enabling the print head to start the printing.

A non-transitory recording medium having a program recorded therein, the program being executable by a processor of a printing device, the printing device comprising a print head configured to perform printing, a marker for guiding operation of the printing device, and a sensor configured to detect a moving direction and a moving distance of the printing device, and the program controlling the processor to execute:

• processing of, when a print instruction is received, setting a print start position based on a position of the marker at a time at which the print instruction is received;
• processing of, while the printing device moves in a first direction, disabling the print head from performing the printing, and acquiring a first moving distance of the printing device in the first direction from the sensor;
• processing of, while the printing device moves in a second direction which is different from the first direction, determining that the print head has reached the printing start position when a second moving distance of the printing device in the second direction is detected by the sensor, the second moving distance being a distance obtained by subtracting a first distance from the first moving distance, and the first distance being a distance between the print head and the marker;
• and
• processing of, when it is determined that the print head has reached the printing start position, enabling the print head to start the printing.
