A print controller controls a print executing unit having a print head in which L nozzles are arranged in a first direction. A pitch of first nozzles in the first direction is set to a first predetermined nozzle pitch. The print controller generates print data based on image data. The print data causes the print executing unit to execute N pass printing. A pitch of lines formed through N pass printing is one N-th of the first predetermined nozzle pitch. At least one of the L number of first nozzles is unused for forming dots on the printing medium in each pass printing. Combinations of the first nozzles used in the N number of pass processes are different from one another. A movement distance of the print head when the first moving process is executed once is different from that when the second moving process is executed once.
A print controller configured to control a print executing unit, the print executing unit having a print head in which L number of first nozzles are arranged in a first direction, L being an integer of 2 or greater, a pitch of first nozzles in the first direction between neighboring two first nozzles of the L number of first nozzles being set to a first predetermined nozzle pitch, the print controller comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions installed on and executed by a computer configured to control a print executing unit, the print executing unit having a print head in which L number of first nozzles are arranged in a first direction, L being an integer of 2 or greater, a pitch of first nozzles in the first direction between neighboring two first nozzles of the L number of first nozzles being set to a first predetermined nozzle pitch, the program instructions comprising:
