Recording apparatus, recording method, and recording controlling device

A recording method of recording a recording image based on image data by repeating a pass operation in which a nozzle group discharges ink while moving relatively to a recording medium in a main scanning direction and a transport operation in which the nozzle group and the recording medium relatively move in a sub scanning direction intersecting the main scanning direction, the method comprising:

• a code detecting step of detecting a first area where code information included in the image data is located;
• and
• a recording controlling step of controlling the pass operation and the transport operation based on the image data and a result of the detection in the code detecting step, wherein
• in the recording controlling step, control is performed such that the number of times of the pass operation of recording the first area is smaller than the number of times of the pass operation of recording a second area adjacent to the first area in the main scanning direction.

A recording controlling device for controlling a recording apparatus for recording a recording image based on image data by repeating a pass operation in which a nozzle group discharges ink while moving relatively to a recording medium in a main scanning direction and a transport operation in which the nozzle group and the recording medium relatively move in a sub scanning direction intersecting the main scanning direction, the device comprising:

• a code detecting unit that detects a first area where code information included in the image data is located;
• and
• a recording controller that controls the pass operation and the transport operation based on the image data and a result of the detection by the code detecting unit, wherein
• the recording controller controls such that the number of times of the pass operation of recording the first area is smaller than the number of times of the pass operation of recording a second area adjacent to the first area in the main scanning direction.
