A drawing device, including: a drawing head which performs drawing on a drawing target; a head moving unit which moves the drawing head in a first direction and in a second direction which intersects with the first direction; a processor which controls the drawing head and the head moving unit; and a plurality of maintenance units in which the drawing head performs maintenance with contents different from each other, wherein within a range where the drawing head is moved by the head moving unit, a drawing area, a stand-by area and the plurality of maintenance units are provided at positions different from each other, and the processor controls the head moving unit to control whether the maintenance is performed or not in at least one of the plurality of maintenance units when the drawing head moves between the stand-by area and the drawing area.
A drawing device, comprising:
A drawing method performed by a drawing device, the drawing device including a drawing head which discharges ink on a drawing target to perform drawing on the drawing target, and a plurality of maintenance units to perform different maintenance operations with respect to the drawing head, wherein within a range where the drawing head is movable, (i) a drawing area where the drawing target is placed and the drawing by the drawing head is performed, (ii) a stand-by area where the drawing head is disposed during a non-drawing time when the drawing head does not perform the drawing, and (iii) the plurality of maintenance units, are provided at different positions, the method comprising:
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program executable by a computer which controls a drawing device, the drawing device including a drawing head which discharges ink on a drawing target to perform drawing on the drawing target, and a plurality of maintenance units to perform different maintenance operations with respect to the drawing head, wherein within a range where the drawing head is movable, (i) a drawing area where the drawing target is placed and the drawing by the drawing head is performed, (ii) a stand-by area where the drawing head is disposed during a non-drawing time when the drawing head does not perform the drawing, and (iii) the plurality of maintenance units, are provided at different positions, the program being executable by the computer to control the drawing device to perform operations comprising:
