Abstract
A conveyor is configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction. A print engine is configured to perform image recording of recording an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyor. A cutter is configured to cut the sheet. A display is configured to display a screen. A controller is configured to: control the print engine to perform the image recording based on acquired first recording data; control the cutter to cut the sheet at a particular position; in response to determining that recording of the first recording data is not performed on at least one of sheets acquired by cutting of the cutter, control the display to display a first object indicating that a blank sheet will be generated after the cutting, the blank sheet being a sheet on which an image can be recorded.
Claims14
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction;
- a print engine configured to perform image recording of recording an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyor;
- a cutter configured to cut the sheet;
- a display configured to display a screen;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the print engine to perform the image recording based on acquired first recording data;
- control the cutter to cut the sheet at a particular position;
- and
- in response to determining that recording of the first recording data is not performed on at least one of sheets acquired by cutting of the cutter, control the display to display a first object indicating that a blank sheet will be generated after the cutting, the blank sheet being a sheet on which an image can be recorded.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions for a computer connected to an image recording apparatus and a display, the image recording apparatus including a conveyor configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction, a print engine configured to record an image on the sheet, a cutter configured to cut the sheet, and a controller, the set of program instructions, when executed by the computer, causing the computer to perform:
- generating image data information from acquired first recording data, the image data information being information for performing image recording of recording an image on a sheet by the print engine;
- generating sheet cutting information, the sheet cutting information being information for cutting the sheet at a particular position in the conveyance direction by the cutter;
- transmitting the image data information and sheet cutting information from the controller to the print engine and the cutter;
- and
- in response to determining that recording of the first recording data is not performed on at least one of sheets acquired by cutting of the cutter, transmitting a signal for displaying a first object on the display, the first object indicating that a blank sheet will be generated after the cutting, the blank sheet being a sheet on which an image can be recorded.
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to be connected to an external apparatus;
- a conveyor configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction;
- a print engine configured to perform image recording of recording an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyor;
- a cutter configured to cut the sheet;
- a display configured to display a screen;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the print engine to perform the image recording based on acquired first recording data;
- control the cutter to cut the sheet at a particular position in the conveyance direction;
- and
- in response to determining that recording of the first recording data is not performed on at least one of sheets acquired by cutting of the cutter, control the display to display a first object indicating that a blank sheet will be generated after the cutting, the blank sheet being a sheet on which an image can be recorded.
