Abstract
A liquid-printing apparatus, having a conveyer, a printing head, a liquid storage, a carriage, a scanning assembly, a remaining amount detector, and a controller, is provided. The printing head prints an image in a printing area ranging from a print-start position to a print-finish position along a scanning direction. The scanning assembly performs pass actions to move the carriage from a scan-start position to a scan-terminal position along the scanning direction. The remaining amount detector detects an amount of the liquid in the liquid storage. The controller controls the scanning assembly to perform a first pass action in a setting such that the scan-terminal position for the first pass action is separated farther in the scanning direction, in proportion to largeness of the amount of the liquid in the liquid storage, from one of the printing area for the first pass action and the printing area for a second pass action.
