Abstract
A recording device has a recording section which records an image on a recording medium which is conveyed. A recording region of the recording section is greater than or equal to a width of a recording medium of a maximum width which can be recorded. When recording a recording medium of a width which is narrower than the maximum width which can be recorded, relative positions of the recording section and the recording medium can be changed in a direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the recording medium. The relative positions may be changed by changing a position of the recording medium in the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction.
Claims12
A recording device comprising:
- a recording section which records an image on a recording medium which is conveyed,
- wherein a recording region of the recording section is greater than or equal to a width of a recording medium which is a maximum width which can be recorded, and
- when recording a recording medium of a width which is narrower than the maximum width which can be recorded, relative positions of the recording section and the recording medium are changed in a direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the recording medium.
A recording method recording an image onto a recording medium, which is conveyed, of a recording device having a recording section, a recording region of the recording section being greater than or equal to a maximum width which can be recorded, the method comprising:
- when recording a recording medium which is narrower than the maximum width which can be recorded, changing relative positions of the recording section and the recording medium in a direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the recording medium.
A recording device comprising:
- a recording section recording an image onto a recording medium which is conveyed, a recording region of the recording section being greater than or equal to a width of a recording medium of a maximum width which can be recorded;
- and
- a changing mechanism which, when recording a recording medium of a width narrower than the maximum width which can be recorded, changes, in a direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the recording medium, relative positions of the recording section and the recording medium, by changing a position of the recording medium.
