Abstract:
1. An ink jet recording device comprising: a conveyor configured to convey a recording medium in a conveying direction; a carriage configured to reciprocate along a moving direction intersecting the conveying direction; a motor configured to drive the carriage; a recording head mounted on the carriage and configured to eject ink onto the recording medium; an encoder configured to generate a signal corresponding to movement of the carriage; and a controller configured to control a movement of the recording head and the motor according to the signal from the encoder, wherein the controller is configured to perform: wherein the controller is configured to control the carriage to move in the particular direction after the first movement control, wherein, when the controller determines, in the first determination control, that the carriage has stopped at the target stand-by position as part of the first movement control, the controller controls the motor to move the carriage, which is stopped at the target stand-by position, and performs the recording control, and wherein, when the controller determines, in the second determination control, that the carriage has stopped beyond the target stand-by position in the opposite direction as part of the first movement control, the controller controls the motor to move the carriage, which is stopped at the position beyond the target stand-by position in the opposite direction, and performs the recording control without stopping the carriage as the carriage crosses the target stand-by position while moving in the particular direction.
