Printing control device, printing apparatus, Control method of printing control device, and program

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a head unit that has head arrays, in which three or more heads for ejecting ink from nozzle arrays are aligned in a first direction that is a nozzle array extending direction;
• and
• a printing control device that has a printing control section that causes the head unit to execute printing without using a designated head that is a head designated and all the heads aligned at least on one side in the first direction with reference to the designated head, in a designation mode in which inhibition of use of the head is designated.

A control method of a printing control device that controls a printing apparatus provided with a head unit that has head arrays, in which three or more heads for ejecting ink from nozzle arrays are aligned in a first direction that is a nozzle array extending direction, the method comprising:

• causing the head unit to execute printing without using a designated head that is a head designated and all the heads aligned at least on one side in the first direction with reference to the designated head, in a designation mode in which inhibition of use of the head is designated.

A program that can be executed by a control section in a printing control device that controls a printing apparatus provided with a head unit that has head arrays, in which three or more heads for ejecting ink from nozzle arrays are aligned in a first direction that is a nozzle array extending direction, the program causes the control section to:

• cause the head unit to execute printing without using a designated head that is a head designated and all the heads aligned on at least one side in the first direction with reference to the designated head, in a designation mode in which inhibition of use of the head is designated.
