Abstract:
An image forming device in which a plurality of nozzles are aligned in a designated alignment direction, wherein a plurality of pixels constituting a formed image includes dot omission pixels continuous in a scan direction by a defective nozzle included in the plurality of nozzles, and neighboring pixels within a designated distance in the alignment direction from the dot omission pixels, the image forming device comprising a pattern determining unit configured to determine a dot pattern after supplementation formed on neighboring pixels within designated range based on at least the number of dots to be formed on the pixels within the designated range including a portion of the dot omission pixels and a portion of the neighboring pixels according to recording data before supplementation of dots by the defective nozzle, and a pattern forming unit configured to form the dot pattern after supplementation.

Claim (Index 12):
A dot pattern determining method for an image forming device in which a plurality of nozzles aligned in a designated alignment direction and an object to be recorded are moved relative to each other in a scan direction different from the alignment direction, wherein\n in a case where a defective nozzle is detected from the plurality of nozzles, a plurality of pixels constituting a formed image includes dot omission pixels continuous in the scan direction by the defective nozzle, and neighboring pixels within a designated distance in the alignment direction from the dot omission pixels, the dot pattern determining method comprising: determining one of a plurality of post-supplementation dot patterns based on a total number of dots that are assigned to the dot omission pixels and the neighboring pixels within a designated range based on pre-supplementation recording data.
