Abstract
An inkjet apparatus includes a media drive means for moving a medium through a print zone of the apparatus, and also includes a carriage, in which a printhead is mounted, for traversing the pint zone in a second direction. The apparatus also includes restraining means, co-operating with the drive means, to restrain the advance of a first portion of the medium through the print zone when moved by the drive means. A method for controlling undulation on media in a inkjet apparatus includes moving a medium through the print zone, and restraining the movement through the print zone of a first portion of the medium.
