Abstract:
An inkjet printer is provided, which is configured to acquire gap information related to a gap between an ink discharging surface and a recording sheet in each individual position of top-formed positions and bottom-formed positions within a predetermined wave-shape generating range, identify, when the predetermined wave-shape generating range includes a partial range in which the recording sheet is not placed, a top-formed position where the gap information has not been acquired and a bottom-formed position where the gap information has not been acquired, within the partial range, complement the unacquired gap information in the identified top-formed position with a value determined based on the respective pieces of gap information acquired in other top-formed positions, and complement the unacquired gap information in the identified bottom-formed position with a value determined based on the respective pieces of gap information acquired in other bottom-formed positions.

Claim (Index 5):
The inkjet printer according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the controller is further configured to:\n control the inkjet head to print deviation detecting patterns to detect positional deviation values, in the specific direction, of the ink droplets discharged from the nozzles onto the one or more top portions and the one or more bottom portions of the recording sheet that are respectively formed in the one or more top-formed positions and the one or more bottom-formed positions within the predetermined range in the specific direction; \n read the deviation detecting patterns printed on the recording sheet; \n acquire, as the gap information related to the gap between the ink discharging surface and the recording sheet, a positional deviation value of an ink droplet discharged in each individual position of the one or more top-formed positions and the one or more bottom-formed positions, based on the read deviation detecting patterns; and \n when a deviation detecting pattern corresponding to one of a particular top-formed position included in the one or more top-formed positions and a particular bottom-formed position included in the one or more bottom-formed positions is not read, determine that the positional deviation value is not acquired in the one of the particular top-formed position and the particular bottom-formed position.
