Abstract
Flushing data include pixels that are flushing dot candidates in a virtual area where a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix. One or less pixel is arranged in a plurality of rows of pixels arranged in lines extending in the main scan direction and the direction of conveyance of a sheet and third and fourth directions that are orthogonal to each other and that cross each other at an angle of 45°. A head control section controls an inkjet head such that image dots and flushing dots corresponding to flushing dot candidates that pertain to flushing data and that are situated at locations where no image dots are generated, are produced on a sheet.
