Abstract

An encoder signal processing device, a printer, a printer-equipped imaging apparatus, and an encoder signal processing method that can remove the effect of a noise signal mixed with an encoder signal and favorably deal with a case where an original pulse signal is lost from the encoder signal are provided. An effective detection period setting unitsets an effective detection period for detecting a subsequent pulse signal, each time a pulse signal detection unitdetects a pulse signal from an encoder signal. The pulse signal detection unitdetects the pulse signal only within the set effective detection period. In a case where the pulse signal detection unitdoes not detect the pulse signal within the effective detection period, a pulse signal generation unitgenerates the pulse signal after the effective detection period.
