Abstract
A recording device includes a liquid discharger rotatable around a predetermined rotation axis and configured to discharge liquid while circulating the liquid internally and a controller configured to control the liquid discharger to discharge a liquid droplet while reciprocating along a printing direction. The controller controls a position and a posture of the liquid discharger, and thus printing is started from a positive pressure side of the liquid circulating inside the liquid discharger.
Claims12
A recording device, comprising:
- a liquid discharger rotatable around a predetermined rotation axis and including (i) a supply port through which liquid is supplied into the liquid discharger and (ii) a discharge port from which the liquid is discharged to be configured to discharge liquid while circulating the liquid from the supply port to the discharge port;
- and
- a controller configured to
- control the liquid discharger to discharge the liquid while reciprocating along a printing direction, and
- control a position and a posture of the liquid discharger,
- wherein printing is started from an upstream side in flow of the liquid circulating inside the liquid discharger from the supply port to the discharge port.

- a robotic arm configured to reciprocate the liquid discharger along a printing direction;
- and
- a controller configured to control, via the robotic arm, the liquid discharger to discharge the liquid while reciprocating along the printing direction,
- wherein the controller is configured to control the liquid discharger or the robotic arm, so that printing is started from an upstream side in flow of the liquid circulating inside the liquid discharger from the supply port to the discharge port.
