Claims
- 1. A method of recording on a recording medium using a recording means, said method comprising the steps of:
- controlling movement of the recording means and the recording medium in first and second modes;
- recording during movement of the recording means in the second mode;
- stopping the recording means at a stopped position after completion of said recording step;
- conveying the recording medium in the first mode, causing the recording means to be moved from the stopped position;
- moving the recording means in the second mode to the stopped position where the recording means was stopped in said stopping step; and
- moving the recording means in the second mode to a next recording start position.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said controlling step controls backlash of movement of the recording means.
- 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the recording means comprises an ink jet recording head which discharges ink through ink discharging ports.
- 4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the ink jet recording head discharges the ink through the ink discharging ports by heat energy generated by electrothermal converters.
- 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein in said controlling step data is selected from an individual table and a common table.
- 6. A method according to claim 1, wherein in said controlling step an individual data table is exclusively used for removing backlash.
- 7. A method of recording on a recording medium using a recording means, said method comprising the steps of:
- controlling movement of a carriage mounting the recording means and the recording medium in first and second modes;
- recording during movement of said carriage in the second mode;
- stopping said carriage at a stopped position after completion of said recording step;
- conveying the recording medium in the first mode, causing said carriage to be moved from the stopped position;
- moving said carriage in the second mode to the stopped position where said carriage was stopped in said stopping step; and
- moving said carriage in the second mode to a next recording start position.
- 8. A method according to claim 7, wherein said controlling step controls backlash of movement of said carriage.
- 9. A method according to claim 7, wherein the recording means comprises an ink jet recording head which discharges ink through ink discharging ports.
- 10. A method according to claim 9, wherein the ink jet recording head discharges the ink through the ink discharging ports by heat energy generated by electrothermal converters.
- 11. A method according to claim 7, wherein in said controlling step data is selected from an individual table and a common table.
- 12. A method according to claim 7, wherein in said controlling step an individual data table is exclusively used for removing backlash.
- 13. A method of recording on a recording medium using a recording means, said method comprising the steps of:
- controlling movement of a carriage mounting the recording means and the recording medium in a first mode and a second mode, in the first mode a driving power being transmitted from a driving source via first transmission means to a recording medium conveying means and in the second mode the driving power being transmitted from the driving source via second transmission means to carriage moving means;
- recording during movement of said carriage in the second mode;
- stopping said carriage at a stopped position after completion of said recording step;
- conveying the recording medium in the first mode, causing said carriage to be moved from the stopped position;
- moving said carriage in the second mode to the stopped position where said carriage was stopped in said stopping step; and
- moving said carriage in the second mode to a next recording start position.
- 14. A method according to claim 13, wherein said controlling step controls backlash of said second transmission means.
- 15. A method according to claim 13, wherein the recording means comprises an ink jet recording head which discharges ink through ink discharging ports.
- 16. A method according to claim 15, wherein the ink jet recording head discharges the ink through the ink discharging ports by heat energy generated by electrothermal converters.
- 17. A method according to claim 13, wherein in said controlling step data is selected from an individual table and a common table.
- 18. A method according to claim 13, wherein in said controlling step an individual data table is exclusively used for removing backlash.
- 19. A method of recording on a recording medium using a recording means mounted on a carriage, said method comprising the steps of:
- performing movement of the carriage and conveyance of the recording medium with a motor;
- recording during the movement of the carriage;
- stopping the movement of the carriage and conveying the recording medium in accordance with completion of said recording step, the conveying of the recording medium causing the carriage to be moved;
- providing driving data of the motor in accordance with a distance between a next recording start position and a position of the carriage after the conveyance of the recording medium; and
- moving the carriage to the next recording start position based on the driving data provided in said driving data providing step.
- 20. A method according to claim 19, wherein said driving data providing step controls backlash of movement of the carriage means.
- 21. A method according to claim 19, wherein the recording means comprises an ink jet recording head which discharges ink through ink discharging ports.
- 22. A method according to claim 21, wherein the ink jet recording head discharges the ink through the ink discharging ports by heat energy generated by electrothermal converters.
- 23. A method according to claim 19, wherein in said driving data providing step data is selected from an individual table and a common table.
- 24. A method according to claim 19, wherein in said driving data providing step an individual data table is exclusively used for removing backlash.
