Abstract
In the control device, the generating portion generates control data to be used by the controlling portion to form a specific image. The generating portion generates the control data such that in a first case where the printing execution unit forms the end image, the head drive portion drives the print head to eject ink droplet only from nozzles classified into the downstream nozzle group toward the downstream end region, that in a second case where the printing execution unit forms the center image the head drive portion drives the print head to eject ink droplet from the plurality of nozzles including the upstream and downstream nozzle groups toward the center region, and that, in the first case, the first nozzle does not eject ink droplet toward the center region for forming a specific part, and such that in the second case, the second nozzle ejects ink droplet for forming the specific part.
