Abstract
An inkjet printer includes an inkjet head, a sheet supply unit and a sheet supply position switching unit. The sheet supply unit has two sheet trays corresponding to two printing positions of the inkjet head which are shifted from each other in the width direction of the sheet. The sheet supply unit is capable of selectively supplying a sheet narrower than the maximum printable width of the inkjet head from either one of trays to the inkjet head. The sheet supply position switching unit switches one of the sheet trays to the other based on the number of printings on the narrower sheet at each of the printing positions.
