Abstract
In a control device, a controller is configured to perform: executing a first print printing a first partial image in a first printing area and a second print printing a second partial image in a second printing area; setting a first ink pressure value for the first print; obtaining a recovery value to be recovered in a time period from completion of the first print to start of the second print; calculating a residual pressure value based on the first ink pressure value and the recovery value; setting a second ink pressure value for the second print using the residual pressure value; and determining whether the second ink pressure value reaches a threshold value. A first mode of print is performed when the second ink pressure value does not reach the threshold value. A second mode of print is performed when the second ink pressure value reaches the threshold value.
