Recording device, recording device control program, and recording device control method

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that is executed by a control section of a recording device,

• the recording device including
• a power source;
• a power transmission section configured to be switched between a power transmission state in which power of the power source is transmitted to a driven section and a power non-transmission state in which power is not transmitted to the driven section;
• a carriage that includes a recording section that performs recording on a medium and that is movable in a first direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium and in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
• and
• the control section that controls an operation of the carriage, wherein
• the power transmission section includes
• a switching section that, in accordance with movement of the carriage in the first direction, switches from the power non-transmission state to the power transmission state by moving from a first position to a second position that is in the first direction with respect to the first position, and
• a cam mechanism configured to hold the switching section at the second position,
• the cam mechanism includes
• a cam having a cam surface, and
• a cam contact section that moves integrally with the switching section and moves while contacting the cam surface, and
• the cam surface includes
• a first cam surface with which the cam contact section contacts when the switching section is located at the first position,
• a second cam surface that holds the cam contact section such that the switching section is located at the second position, and
• a guide path that guides the cam contact section on the first cam surface when the cam contact section is separated from the second cam surface in the first direction,
• the computer program comprising:
• executing a correction mode by a computer to correct a reference movement amount M of the carriage for moving the switching section from the first position to the second position,
• the correction mode including, executing by a computer,
• a power switching step of moving the carriage based on the reference movement amount M,
• a retry step of, when the power transmission section is not switched from the power non-transmission state to the power transmission state as a result of the power switching step, performing the power switching step with an amount obtained by subtracting an adjustment amount ma from the reference movement amount M after the adjustment as a reference movement amount M, and
• a reference movement amount correction step of, when the power transmission section is switched from the power non-transmission state to the power transmission state as a result of the retry step, holding an amount obtained by subtracting the adjustment amount mc from the reference movement amount M after the adjustment as a new reference movement amount M.
