Abstract
A printing control device is for a printing unit that is capable of adjusting a gap g between a recording head and a platen and performs main scanning to move the recording head in the main scanning direction with respect to the print substrate and sub-scanning to move the print substrate in a sub-scanning direction relative to the recording head. The printing control device includes a sub-scanning control unit that controls sub-scanning so that a first sub-scanning distance in a case in which the gap g is a first gap is shorter than a second sub-scanning distance in a case in which the gap g is a second gap broader than the first gap, in the sub scanning which corresponds to pseudo-band printing scheme and which is sub-scanning of a longer distance than a pitch of the nozzles of the nozzle line in the sub-scanning direction.
