Claim 6:
7. The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
a scanning mechanism configured to move the head in a scanning direction; and
a conveyor configured to convey the recording medium in a conveying direction orthogonal to the scanning direction,
wherein in the discharging processing, the controller is configured to execute a conveying operation of causing the conveyor to convey the recording medium in the conveying direction by a predetermined amount, and a scanning operation of discharging the liquid from the nozzles while causing the scanning mechanism to move the head in the scanning direction, and
wherein in the total discharge amount calculating processing, the controller is configured to calculate the total discharge amount for each of the scanning areas of the recording medium, each of the scanning areas being an area which overlaps with the head while the controller causes the head and the scanning mechanism to execute one time of the scanning operation.
