Inkjet printer, and method and computer-readable medium therefor

A method implementable on a processor coupled with an inkjet printer comprising a tray, a feeder, a conveyor, a carriage, a recording head mounted on the carriage, a carriage moving mechanism, and a storage, the method comprising:

• performing an intermittent conveyance process comprising:
• controlling the conveyor to intermittently convey a preceding sheet in a conveyance direction by alternately repeating conveyance and stop of the preceding sheet;
• performing an image recording process comprising:
• controlling the recording head to perform image recording for each single pass on the preceding sheet by discharging ink droplets onto the preceding sheet while controlling the carriage moving mechanism to move the carriage over each single pass in a single direction along a scanning direction, based on image data stored in the storage, in the intermittent conveyance process, the scanning direction being perpendicular to the conveyance direction;
• performing a remaining-pass calculating process comprising:
• calculating a count of remaining passes to be recorded on the preceding sheet in the image recording process, based on the image data stored in the storage;
• and
• performing a feeding process comprising:
• in response to the calculated count of the remaining passes being a particular number, controlling the feeder to start feeding a subsequent sheet from the tray at a point of time when a first particular period of time elapses from a next timing to start conveyance of the preceding sheet in the intermittent conveyance process.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executable on a processor coupled with an inkjet printer comprising a tray, a feeder, a conveyor, a carriage, a recording head mounted on the carriage, a carriage moving mechanism, and a storage, the instructions being configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:

• an intermittent conveyance process comprising:
• controlling the conveyor to intermittently convey a preceding sheet in a conveyance direction by alternately repeating conveyance and stop of the preceding sheet;
• an image recording process comprising:
• controlling the recording head to perform image recording for each single pass on the preceding sheet by discharging ink droplets onto the preceding sheet while controlling the carriage moving mechanism to move the carriage over each single pass in a single direction along a scanning direction, based on image data stored in the storage, in the intermittent conveyance process, the scanning direction being perpendicular to the conveyance direction;
• a remaining-pass calculating process comprising:
• calculating a count of remaining passes to be recorded on the preceding sheet in the image recording process, based on the image data stored in the storage;
• and
• a feeding process comprising:
• in response to the calculated count of the remaining passes being a particular number, controlling the feeder to start feeding a subsequent sheet from the tray at a point of time when a first particular period of time elapses from a next timing to start conveyance of the preceding sheet in the intermittent conveyance process.
