Abstract:
An inkjet recording device comprising:an image-forming component which discharges ink from a discharge head onto a recording medium on the basis of image data, so as to form an image; a transport component which is provided with a transport belt retaining the recording medium at a predetermined position thereon, and which transports the recording medium in a longitudinal direction of the transport belt; a position detection component which detects at least one of a relative position of the transport belt in a width direction thereof with respect to the image-forming component, and a relative position of the recording medium with respect to the image-forming component; and a position alteration component which alters a Position of image formation by the image-forming component in accordance with the relative position detected by the position detection component, wherein: the position detection component detects a position of at least one of the transport belt and the recording medium retained at the transport belt, with respect to the width direction of the transport belt; and the position alteration component controls a position of the image-forming component with respect to the width direction of the transport belt, in accordance with the position detected by the position detection component.
