Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A recording device includes a conveyance mechanism, a recording mechanism, a rotational mechanism of a plurality of take-up spindles, and a control unit. The conveyance mechanism is configured to convey a recording medium intermittently in a conveyance direction. The recording mechanism is configured to record by reciprocatingly scanning a recording head in a direction that intersects with the conveyance direction. The rotational mechanism is configured to take up the recording medium. The control unit is configured to control the conveyance mechanism and the rotational mechanism to substantially synchronize conveying of the recording medium by the conveyance mechanism and taking-up of the recording medium by the rotational mechanism.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A recording device, comprising: a conveyance mechanism configured to convey a recording medium intermittently in a conveyance direction; a recording mechanism configured to record by reciprocatingly scanning a recording head in a direction that intersects with the conveyance direction; a rotational mechanism of a plurality of take-up spindles, which is configured to take up the recording medium; and a control unit configured to control the conveyance mechanism and the rotational mechanism to substantially synchronize conveying of the recording medium by the conveyance mechanism and taking-up of the recording medium by the rotational mechanism to minimize vibration of the recording medium which is being conveyed. 2. The recording device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the recording mechanism to synchronize reciprocatingly scanning of the recording head with the conveying of the recording medium and the taking-up of the recording medium. 3. The recording device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a feeding-out mechanism configured to feed out the recording medium to the conveyance mechanism, wherein the control unit is configured to control the feeding-out mechanism to synchronize feeding out of the recording medium with the conveying of the recording medium and the taking-up of the recording medium. 4. The recording device as set forth in claim 2 , further comprising a feeding-out mechanism configured to feed out the recording medium to the conveyance mechanism, wherein the control unit is configured to control the feeding-out mechanism to synchronize feeding out of the recording medium with the conveying of the recording medium, the taking-up of the recording medium, and the reciprocatingly scanning of the recording head. 5. The recording device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a turret to which the take-up spindles are rotatably coupled.
