Abstract:
1. A print apparatus that is used for printing received data received from an upper apparatus by repeatedly moving a print head, comprising: an expanding section that expands the received data into print image data; a confirming section that confirms a print density of the print image data expanded by the expanding section, and confirms existence/inexistence of high-density print data whose print density is higher than a predetermined value; a determining section that, when the confirming section confirms the existence of the high-density print data, calculates a print operation time in the case to print by moving the print head in a forward direction, calculates a print operation time in the case to print by moving the print head in a backward direction, and determines a print direction according to these print operation time; and a print controlling section that prints in the direction determined by the determining section.
