Ink jet printer

Abstract

Provided is an ink jet printer in which ink jet heads are arranged in correspondence with a print region and printing is performed with respect to the print region while transporting a print medium, the ink jet printer including: a first print medium transporting unit provided at an upstream side of a print medium transporting direction; a second print medium transporting unit provided at a downstream side of the print medium transporting direction of the first print medium transporting unit so as to continuously transport the print medium from the first print medium transporting unit; a first print medium transporting state detecting device which detects a transporting state of the print medium by the first print medium transporting unit; a second print medium transporting state detecting device which detects the transporting state of the print medium by the second print medium transporting unit; a plurality of nozzles arranged in the ink jet heads in a direction crossing the print medium transporting direction; actuators provided in correspondence with the nozzles; a first driving signal generating device which generates a first driving signal to the actuators according to the transporting state of the print medium by the first print medium transporting unit detected by the first print medium transporting state detecting device; a second driving signal generating device which generates a second driving signal to the actuators according to the transporting state of the print medium by the second print medium transporting unit detected by the second print medium transporting state detecting device; and a control device which mixes and outputs the first driving signal generated by the first driving signal generating device and the second driving signal generated by the second driving signal generating device to the plurality of nozzles arranged in the ink jet heads in the direction crossing the print medium transporting direction.
