Abstract

Method and apparatus for controlling an operating speed of a motor provided to move an object body such as a carriage carrying a printing head in a printer, wherein a control-signal generating portion generates a control signal for controlling the speed of the motor such that a moving speed of the object body represented by a speed signal generated by a speed-signal generating portion coincides with a target value, and the control signal is generated on the basis of proportional and integral control values obtained on the basis of an output of a filter operable to remove from the speed signal a component having a frequency not lower than a predetermined threshold or at least a component corresponding to a cogging frequency of the motor, and a differential control value obtained on the basis of the output of the filter or the speed signal.
