Patent ID: 7934787

Claim:
An inkjet recording device comprising: a feeding section capable of accommodating a stack of recording medium; a supply roller that supplies the recording medium one at a time from the feeding section; a recording unit including a recording head that ejects ink onto a recording medium and a carriage that reciprocatingly moves in a first direction while mounting the recording head thereon, wherein the recording unit performs printing operation in which the recording head ejects ink onto the recording medium while the carriage is moving in the first direction; a feeding member that feeds the recording medium supplied by the supply roller in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction when the recording unit is not performing the printing operation; a judgment unit that judges whether the recording medium is in contact with the supply roller; a controller that controls the recording unit and the feeding member to repeatedly perform the printing operation and the feeding operation in alternation so as to form an image on the recording medium; and a memory that stores a first calibration value and a second calibration value, wherein the controller controls the feeding member to feed the recording medium while calibrating a feeding amount of the recording medium based on the first calibration value when the judgment unit has judged that the recording medium is in contact with the supply roller; and the controller controls the feeding member to feed the recording medium while calibrating the feeding amount based on the second calibration value when the judgment unit has judged that the recording medium is not in contact with the supply roller.
