RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18476405 titled 'RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The recording device described in the patent application includes a transport roller with a circumference length different from the length of the nozzle array in the transport direction. The device performs TP recording control to record a group of test patterns, where different amounts of liquid are ejected for the boundary area between the first and second patches of the test patterns. The device records first and second TP groups at different positions in the transport direction onto a medium, transporting the medium by different distances based on the nozzle array length and the circumference length of the transport roller.
- The recording device includes a transport roller with a unique circumference length compared to the nozzle array length in the transport direction.
- The device performs TP recording control to record test patterns with different liquid ejection amounts for boundary areas.
- The device records TP groups at different positions in the transport direction and transports the medium by specific distances based on the nozzle array length and transport roller circumference length.

Original Abstract Submitted
A recording device, including a transport roller whose circumference length is different from nozzle array length in a transport direction, performs TP recording control to record a group of test patterns, in which a plurality of test patterns including a first patch and a second patch with different positions in the transport direction are arranged in a main scanning direction, and in which an amount of liquid ejected for a boundary area between the first patch and the second patch is different for each test pattern, wherein, in the TP recording control, records a first TP group and a second TP group at different positions in the transport direction onto a medium, transports the medium by a first distance based on the nozzle array length as a transport between the recording of the first patch and the second patch of the TP, and, as a transport between the recording of the second patch of the first TP group and the recording of the first patch of the second TP group, transports the medium by a second distance, which is a difference between an integer multiple of the circumference length and two times the first distance.
