Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An inkjet printer including a body, a carriage, a recording head, a bendable connecting member, a memory device, and a controller is provided. The controller is configured to execute operations including a deviated amount setting operation and a discharging timing controlling operation. The deviated amount setting operation includes a first recording step, in which a first image is recorded after the carriage is placed at rest for a length being shorter than or equal to a first period; a second recording step, in which a second image is recorded after the carriage is placed at rest for a second period being longer than the first period, and a deviated amount setting step, in which the controller obtains a distance between the first image and the second image and stores the obtained distance in the memory device as a deviated amount.
