Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a transport roller that transports a medium in a transport direction; a head that moves in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction, and ejects liquid to the medium; a cutter that moves in the transport direction and the orthogonal direction and cuts a part of the medium positioned in a predetermined range from a first position to a second position in the transport direction; and a controller that performs a first process of forming an image on the medium by controlling the transport roller to transport the medium in the transport direction and controlling the head moving in the orthogonal direction to eject the liquid, and performs a second process of forming a cutting line on the medium by controlling the cutter to cut the part of the medium over the predetermined range during the first process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a transport roller that transports a medium in a transport direction; a head that moves in a movement direction that is orthogonal to the transport direction, and that ejects liquid to the medium; a cutter that moves in the transport direction and the movement direction and cuts only a part of the medium positioned in a predetermined range from a first position to a second position in the transport direction, where…
