Abstract:
A liquid jetting apparatus jetting a liquid onto a recording medium conveyed in a first direction includes head units arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. One head unit includes nozzle chips; one nozzle chip has a nozzle arrangement area wherein nozzles are aligned in a third direction crossing the first and second directions. The nozzle chip is arranged to be shifted relative to another nozzle chip in a direction crossing the first and second directions and different from the third direction. The head unit has a first overlapping portion wherein nozzle arrangement areas of first and second nozzle chips included in the nozzle chips partially overlap with each other in the first direction. The liquid jetting apparatus has a second overlapping portion wherein nozzle arrangement areas of third and fourth nozzle chips included in the head units partially overlap with each other in the first direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid jetting apparatus configured to jet liquid onto a recording medium conveyed in a first direction, the liquid jetting apparatus comprising:\n a first head unit and a second head unit which are adjacent to each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and which are arranged to partially overlap with each other in the first direction; and a controller configured to control the first head unit and the second head unit, wherein each of the first head unit and the second head unit includes a nozzle arrangement area in which nozzles are aligned in a third direction crossing both of the first and second directions, the nozzle arrangement area of the first head unit and the nozzle arrangement area of the second head unit partially overlap with each other in the first direction in an overlapping area in the second direction, in the overlapping area, the controller is configured to control the first head unit and the second head unit to jet the liquid from both of the nozzles included in the first head unit and the nozzles included in the second head unit, and in the overlapping area, the controller is configured to control the first head unit and the second head unit to cause an amount of the liquid to be jetted per unit area of the recording medium to be smaller than that in a non-overlapping area in which the nozzle arrangement area of the first head unit and the nozzle arrangement area of the second head unit do not overlap with each other in the first direction.
