Printing Apparatus And Method For Controlling Printing Apparatus

Abstract

A printing apparatus includes a print head that is manufactured by a semiconductor process and forms a dot on a medium at a timing defined by a timing signal, a position detection circuit that outputs a position information signal corresponding to a scanning position of the print head, and a timing signal output circuit that outputs the timing signal obtained by correcting the position information signal with a correction value. The timing signal output circuit outputs the timing signal obtained by correcting first position information as the position information signal with a first correction value as the correction value at a first scanning position as the scanning position, and outputs the timing signal obtained by correcting second position information as the position information signal with a second correction value different from the first correction value as the correction value at a second scanning position as the scanning position.
