Abstract
A sweep speed is determined for sweeping a printer head of a printer across a print medium for printing a swath of an image on the print medium.

1-15. (canceled)
A printer comprising:
- a printer head to sweep across a surface of a print medium to print on the print medium;
- and
- a controller to determine a sweep speed of sweeping the printer head across the print medium, and control an advancing mechanism to advance the print medium by a distance that is determined based on the determined sweep speed.
A printer comprising:
- a printer head to sweep across a surface of a print medium to print a swath on the print medium;
- a controller to determine a sweep speed of sweeping the printer head across the print medium, wherein the sweep speed is:
- a sweep speed of the printer head that was used in printing a swath immediately prior to advancing the print medium;
- a sweep speed of the printer head that is to be used in printing a swath immediately following advancing the print medium;
- or both;
- and
- the controller is to control an advancing mechanism to advance the print medium by a distance that is determined based on the determined sweep speed.
A controller for a printer, wherein the controller includes hardware, and the controller is to determine a sweep speed of sweeping a printer head across a print medium, and control an advancing mechanism to advance the print medium by a distance that is determined based on the determined sweep speed.
