Abstract:
A printer performs a multi-pass printing including: (a) pass process executed with Ka number of nozzles; (c1) pass process executed with Kc1 number of nozzles; (c2) pass process executed with Kc2 number of nozzles; and (b) pass process executed with Kb number of nozzles. Kc1 and Kc2 are greater than or equal to Kb and smaller than Ka. An upstream gradient of dot recording rates of (c1) pass process is greater than a gradient of (a) pass process. A downstream gradient of (c1) pass process is the same as the gradient of (a) pass process. An upstream gradient of (c2)-pass process is the same as a gradient of (b) pass process. A downstream gradient of (c2)-pass process is greater than the gradient of the (a) pass process. Kc1 is greater than Kc2.

Claim (Index 9):
The printer according to  claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to:\n acquire first dot formation data based on basic dot pattern data, the basic dot pattern data specifying a dot position and a un-dot position in the main scanning direction for each of the plurality of nozzles according to the dot recording rate corresponding to the each of the plurality of nozzles, the dot position being a position in the main scanning direction at which a dot can be formed, the un-dot position being a position in the main scanning direction at which no dot should be formed, the first dot formation data specifying the dot position and the un-dot position in the main scanning direction for each of the KA number of active nozzles used in the (A)-print process according to the dot recording rate of the each of the KA number of active nozzles used in the (A)-print process; and acquire second dot formation data based on the basic dot pattern data, the second dot formation data specifying the dot position and the un-dot position in the main scanning direction for each of the KC number of active nozzles used in the (C)-print process according to the dot recording rate of the each of the KC number of active nozzles used in the (C)-print process, wherein the controller controls the print executing unit to execute the (A)-print process using the first dot formation data, and wherein the controller controls the print executing unit to execute the (C)-print process using the second dot formation data.
