Claim 14:
15. The liquid discharge apparatus according to claim 4,
wherein the controller is configured to execute a plurality of passes including the one pass and the subsequent pass to form the image on the recording medium,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
calculate a first total control distance, which is a sum of a control distance for each of the passes when executing the recording processing for each of the passes while moving the discharge head toward one side in the main scanning direction,
calculate a second total control distance, which is a sum of the control distance for each of the passes when executing the recording processing for each of the passes while moving the discharge head toward the other side in the main scanning direction,
in a case that the first total control distance is shorter than the second total control distance, execute the recording processing for each of the passes while moving the discharge head toward the one side in the main scanning direction, and
in a case that the second total control distance is shorter than the first total control distance, execute the recording processing for each of the passes while moving the discharge head toward the other side in the main scanning direction.
