    摘要: There is provided a technology that enables reduction of an amount of data to be processed in testing a printed image printed on a printing medium. A printing apparatus includes a printing unit, a camera, and an image-data output unit. The printing unit is capable of printing plural categories of test patterns on the printing medium. The camera captures an image of a test pattern printed on the printing medium, and outputs acquired image data to the image-data output unit. The image-data output unit reduces an amount of data of the image data output from the camera, in accordance with the category of the test pattern, and outputs acquired image data to a test apparatus.

    摘要: A discharge head includes an orifice surface in which orifices each configured to discharge a droplet are arrayed in a predetermined direction. A detecting unit includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element, and optically detects a droplet discharged from the orifice. A suppression unit is arranged between the light emitting element and the orifice surface, and suppresses the light emitted from the light emitting element from reaching the orifice surface by shielding at least some rays of the light which are emitted from the light emitting element and would otherwise propagate to the orifice surface.

    摘要: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a printing portion and a control portion. The printing portion executes a printing operation including ejecting a liquid from a nozzle onto a medium. The control portion executes an initial operation upon supply of power and executes the printing operation in accordance with a print instruction. The initial operation and the printing operation include a common printing operation that is common to the initial operation and the printing operation. When the control portion does not receive the print instruction during execution of the initial operation, the control portion executes the initial operation including the common printing operation. When the control portion receives the print instruction during execution of the initial operation, the control portion omits the common printing operation from the initial operation.
