Abstract
A printing program can be executed by a processing apparatus connected to a printing apparatus including a recording head transfer section for reciprocating, in a main scanning direction, a recording head for discharging ink, and a recording medium transfer section for moving the recording medium in a sub-scanning direction. The program determines total movement distances of an image at angles relative to an original position according to a first movement distance by which the recording head would move in the main scanning direction from a start of movement of the recording head to an end of discharging the ink medium if printing were performed and a second movement distance by which the recording medium would move in the sub-scanning direction if printing were performed. The program causes the printing apparatus to print the image at the angular position of the image corresponding to the smallest total movement distance.
