A liquid ejecting device includes: a head having a plurality of nozzles for ejecting droplets onto a printing medium; a movement unit configured to move the head relative to the printing medium in a relative movement direction; and a control unit configured to record a test pattern on the printing medium by controlling the head and the movement unit, and to perform recording by correcting control of the head and/or the movement unit based on a correction value obtained from the test pattern, wherein the test pattern includes a plurality of patches from which a plurality of candidates for the correction value for correcting a landing position at which the droplet lands on the printing medium in the relative movement direction are obtained.

Liquid ejecting device and method for adjusting liquid ejecting device

A printing management apparatus includes a memory device storing information and having a shared folder for storing a print job from the outside of the apparatus, a standby folder for storing print data to be output to a predetermined printing mechanism, and a converter having a plurality of conversion modules performing a conversion process in which the print job is converted into the print data which is printed in the predetermined printing mechanism to store the data in the standby folder when the format of the print job in the shared folder is supported; an obtaining unit for obtaining the print job stored in the shared folder; and conversion control means for selecting a compliant conversion module from the plurality of conversion modules in the converter, the compliant conversion module performing the conversion process to the print job obtained by the obtaining unit, the compliant conversion module being the conversion module which supports the format of the print job obtained by the obtaining unit.

Printing management apparatus, printing management method, and program for the same

A liquid ejecting apparatus executes a collective multiple liquid ejecting process of ejecting a liquid so as to superimpose the predetermined number of unit images on basic images formed on a target. The liquid ejecting apparatus includes: an ejection executing unit which ejects the liquid onto the target from an ejecting head; a position acquiring unit which acquires arrangement positions of the predetermined number of two or more basic images, at which an arrangement image in which the predetermined number of two or more unit images are arranged among the plurality of basic images formed on the target is superimposed; an image adjusting unit which detects an error between the acquired arrangement positions of the basic images and arrangement positions of the predetermined number of two or more unit images, and adjusts the arrangement positions of the unit images by allocating the detected error to each unit image.
