Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory medium storing a program executable by a liquid discharge apparatus including: a discharge head including a plurality of nozzles; a head scanning mechanism configured to reciprocatingly move the discharge head in a main scanning direction; a conveyer configured to convey a recording medium in a sub-scanning direction orthogonal to the main scanning direction; and a controller, the program, when executed by a processor of the liquid discharge apparatus, causing the controller to execute, in one pass:
recording processing in which an image is formed on the recording medium by moving the discharge head in the main scanning direction and discharging liquid from the discharge head;
setting processing, executed after completion of the recording processing, in which the discharge head is moved from an ending position of the recording processing for the one pass to a starting position of the recording processing for a subsequent pass following the one pass by changing a moving direction of the discharge head at a standstill position; and
conveyance processing in which the recording medium is conveyed in the sub-scanning direction,
wherein the program further causes the controller to:
determine whether the subsequent pass is a first state pass or a second state pass based on image data of the image, the second state pass being different from the first state pass;
set setting processing time required for the setting processing for the one pass as a first setting time in a case that the subsequent pass is the first state pass; and
set the setting processing time required for the setting processing for the one pass as a second setting time longer than the first setting time in a case that the subsequent pass is the second state pass.
