Abstract:
A liquid droplet jetting apparatus includes: a carriage configured to scan in a main scanning direction; a jetting head installed in the carriage, having nozzles arranged in a sub scanning direction intersecting with the main scanning direction, and configured to jet liquid droplets from the nozzles; a conveyer configured to convey the recording medium in the sub scanning direction; and a controller configured to control the carriage, the jetting head and the conveyer. The nozzles form nozzle groups including two nozzle groups adjacent in the sub scanning direction; and the controller is configured to execute a predetermined printing mode in which a pass printing and conveyance of the recording medium in the sub scanning direction are alternately performed. The pass printing causes the carriage to move one time in the main scanning direction while jetting the liquid droplets from the nozzles.

Claim (Index 8):
The liquid droplet jetting apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein in a case that the first condition is satisfied, the controller is configured to:\n calculate a downstream-side positional shift amount which is a shift amount in the second direction between the first and second target positions and an upstream-side positional shift amount which is a shift amount in the second direction between the third and fourth target positions, based on a printing data in each of the target printing, the preceding printing and the succeeding printing, calculate an equally divided value by equally dividing a total positional shift amount, which is a sum of the downstream-side positional shift amount and the upstream-side positional shift amount, by a number obtained by adding 1 to a total number of the nozzle groups; and determine the jetting timing such that each of the target value of the shift amount in the target printing, a target value of the downstream-side positional shift amount, and a target value of the upstream-side positional shift amount is the equally divided value.
