Abstract
A sensor reciprocates in a main scanning direction to detect lateral end portions of a sheet conveyed in a sub-scanning direction. A print head is mounted on a carriage reciprocating in the main scanning direction. A sheet-information acquiring unit acquires sheet information including a type and a size of the sheet. A positional-information storing unit stores positional information on lateral positions of the sheet on the conveying belt, corresponding to the size of the sheet. A control unit controls, when the type of the sheet is a pattern-printed sheet, a printing by the print head based on the positional information corresponding to the size of the sheet.
