PRINTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183969 titled 'PRINTER
The abstract describes a printer with a conveyance guide, printing section, position sensor, arithmetic section, and setting section. The conveyance guide guides the print medium's end portion in the width direction and determines the conveyance position. The position sensor detects the position in the width direction of the conveyance guide, and the arithmetic section creates a linear function based on this position. The setting section calculates the printing start position in the width direction using the linear function.

Original Abstract Submitted
A printer according to an embodiment includes a conveyance guide, a printing section, a position sensor, an arithmetic section, and a setting section. The conveyance guide guides an end portion in the width direction of a print medium and determines a conveyance position in the width direction of the print medium. The printing section prints on the print medium. The position sensor outputs a signal, which changes in proportion to a position in the width direction of the conveyance guide, and detects the position in the width direction of the conveyance guide. The arithmetic section creates a linear function indicating a proportional relation between the position in the width direction of the conveyance guide and the output signals. The setting section calculates the position in the width direction of the conveyance guide using the linear function and sets a printing start position in the width direction.
