Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A recording apparatus includes a support unit that can support and move a medium toward the moving direction, a recording unit that records an image on the medium supported by the support unit based on digital data, and a projection unit that projects an object which is a reference of a recording position on the medium, on the medium supported by the support unit. By configuring the recording apparatus like this, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the deviation between the recording position assumed from the digital data and the actual recording position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A recording apparatus comprising: a support unit that can support and move a medium toward the moving direction; a recording unit that records an image on the medium supported by the support unit based on digital data; and a projection unit that projects an object which is a reference of a recording position on the medium, on the medium supported by the support unit. 2 . The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, a change of the recording position in the digital data is accepted, and then, a projection position of the object is changed in correspondence with the change of the recording position. 3 . The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the projection position of the object can be changed, and wherein the recording position in the digital data is changed in correspondence with the change of the projection position of the object. 4 . The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the projection unit includes a first projection unit and a second projection unit, and wherein the first projection unit projects a first object among the objects corresponding to one end of the recording position in one direction among the moving direction and a crossing direction intersecting the moving direction, and wherein the second projection unit projects a second object among the objects corresponding to the other end of the recording position in the one direction. 5 . The recording apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a size of the image recorded on the medium is changed in correspondence with a distance between the one end and the other end in the one direction. 6 . The recording apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the projection unit includes a third projection unit and a fourth projection unit, wherein the third projection unit projects a third object among the objects corresponding to one end of the recording position in the other direction among the moving direction and the crossing direction, and wherein the fourth projection unit projects a fourth object among the objects corresponding to the other end of the recording position in the other direction. 7 . A projection method for projecting a recording position in a recording apparatus that includes a support unit that can support and move a medium toward the moving direction, and a recording unit that records an image on the medium supported by the support unit based on digital data, the method comprising: projecting an object which is a reference of a recording position on the medium, on the medium supported by the support unit.
