Printer

A printer comprising:

• a first transporting belt that transports a print medium;
• a second transporting belt that receives the print medium from the first transporting belt and further transports the print medium;
• a first linear encoder that outputs a first signal corresponding to the travel of the first transporting belt;
• a second linear encoder that outputs a second signal corresponding to the travel of the second transporting belt;
• a liquid ejection head that ejects liquid according to a liquid-ejection timing signal to the print medium transported by the first transporting belt and the second transporting belt;
• and
• a signal generator that outputs the liquid-ejection timing signal according to one of the first signal and the second signal, wherein
• when the phase difference between the first signal and the second signal is a predetermined threshold value or less in transferring the print medium from the first transporting belt to the second transporting belt, the signal generator switches from outputting the liquid-ejection timing signal according to the first signal to outputting the liquid-ejection timing signal according to the second signal.
