Patent ID: 8348532

Claim:
A method of controlling transport amounts of a pair of first rollers and a pair of second rollers, the pair of first rollers operable to nip a medium so as to transport the medium in a transport direction, the pair of second rollers operable to nip the medium so as to transport the medium and disposed at a downstream side of the pair of first rollers in the transport direction, the medium on which a recording is performed by a recording head disposed between the pair of first rollers and the pair of second rollers, the method comprising: performing a first correction with respect to the transport amounts of the pair of first rollers and the pair of second rollers; and performing a second correction with respect to the transport amounts of the medium from a state where a rolling angle of the medium to one of the pair of first rollers starts to vary to a state where the medium is released from the pair of first rollers, wherein an amount of the second correction is set in accordance with a kind of the medium, and, wherein the rolling angle varies according to passing of the medium through a transport pass which the medium is transported on, the transport pass including inclined surfaces having different angles with respect to a horizontal.
