Abstract
A carriage on which a head is mounted moves in a second direction crossing a first direction. A driving circuit is configured to output a drive signal to each of nozzles. A controller is configured to perform: storing, in a memory, image data of an image to be formed; and controlling the driving circuit to: output the drive signal for a first nozzle in the first nozzle array based on first data among one-line image data stored in the memory; and output the drive signal for a second nozzle in the second nozzle array based on second data among the one-line image data. The one-line image data is the image data for one line in the second direction in the image. The first data forms odd-numbered dots of the one line in the second direction in the image. The second data forms even-numbered dots of the one line.
