Claims5
A recording device comprising:
- a conveying part configured and arranged to convey a roll paper;
- a support part configured and arranged to support the roll paper;
- a recording part configured and arranged to eject liquid on the roll paper to record an image on the roll paper supported by the support part;
- a heating part configured and arranged to heat the support part to dry the liquid ejected onto the roll paper;
- a cleaning part configured and arranged to clean the recording part;
- and
- a controller configured to control the conveying part to convey the roll paper at a first speed when the recording part performs a recording action for recording the image, and to control the conveying part to convey the roll paper at a second speed, which is slower than the first speed, after the cleaning part performs a cleaning action for cleaning the recording part.
A method for controlling a recording device comprising:
- when a recording part performs a recording action for discharging a liquid and recording an image on a roll paper supported by a heated support part, controlling a conveying part to convey, at a first speed, the roll paper supported by the support part;
- and
- after a cleaning part performs a cleaning action for cleaning the recording part, controlling the conveying part to convey, at a second speed that is slower than the first speed, the roll paper supported by the support part.
