Post-processing device, method for controlling post-processing device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program for controlling post-processing device

A method for controlling a post-processing device including

• a post-processing section that is configured to move over a mounting section on which a medium is mounted in a width direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium and that executes post-processing on the medium mounted on the mounting section and
• a driving section that moves the post-processing section in the width direction when supplied with a current or a voltage from a power supply,
• the method comprising:
• a moving step of moving the post-processing section in the width direction by supplying a set current or a set voltage set from the power supply to the driving section;
• a holding step of holding a position of the post-processing section in the width direction by supplying, to the driving section, a supply current with the same value as a value of the set current or a supply voltage with the same value as a value of the set voltage;
• and
• a stopping step of stopping the supply of the supply current or the supply voltage to the driving section, wherein
• when the post-processing section executes the post-processing on the medium a plurality of times, the holding step and the stopping step are repeatedly executed and the post-processing section executes the post-processing during the execution of the holding step.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for controlling a post-processing device including

• a post-processing section that is configured to move over a mounting section on which a medium is mounted in a width direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium and that executes post-processing on the medium mounted on the mounting section and
• a driving section that moves the post-processing section in the width direction when supplied with a current or a voltage from a power supply,
• the program causing a computer to execute:
• a moving step of moving the post-processing section in the width direction by supplying a set current or a set voltage set from the power supply to the driving section;
• a holding step of holding a position of the post-processing section in the width direction by supplying, to the driving section, a supply current with the same value as a value of the set current or a supply voltage with the same value as a value of the set voltage;
• a stopping step of stopping the supply of the supply current or the supply voltage to the driving section;
• and
• a processing step of repeatedly executing the holding step and the stopping step and causing the post-processing section to execute the post-processing during the execution of the holding step when the post-processing section executes the post-processing on the medium a plurality of times.
