An image-recording device records a high-quality image on a surface of a sheet by altering recording parameters for a one-side recording mode and a two-sided recording mode, for instance, a path number that is a number of paths, which a recording head of the image-recording device takes to record an image on the surface of the sheet, a nozzle number that is a number of nozzles, which the recording head uses to record the image on the surface of the sheet, drive frequency that is a frequency of the recording head at which the recording head records the image on the surface of the sheet, a dot number that is a maximum number of dots, which the recording head records in an area unit of the surface of the sheet and dot density that is density of dots, which the recording head records in an area unit of the surface of the sheet.
An image-recording device comprising:
A printer driver controlling an image-recording device that records an image on a surface or images on both surfaces of a sheet according to a recording-side mode by use of a recording head, wherein the image-recording device records the image on the surface when the recording-side mode is set to a one-side recording mode, and the images on both surfaces of the sheet when the recording-side mode is set to a two-sided recording mode, comprising a parameter-setting unit a recording parameter related to a recording speed and quality of the image recorded on the surface of the sheet to a first numerical value for the one-side recording mode, and a second numerical value for the two-sided recording mode.
A sheet-type detection device, comprising two sheet-density detection units, each of said sheet-density detection unit including a black reflector that is colored black and reflects light emitted thereto, a white reflector that is colored white and reflects the light emitted thereto, a light-emitting unit that emits the light, and a light-intercepting unit that receives the light reflected by the black reflector or the white reflector, wherein said sheet-type detection device detects a type of each surface of a sheet by detecting sheet density of each surface of the sheet obtained by said sheet-density detection units being situated so that the sheet is placed in space between the sheet-density detection units.
A record medium readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for controlling an image-recording device:
