Abstract
Restart shifting in the scanned image data is minimized and the resulting image quality is improved even when scanning pauses and resumes. A dot impact printerissues a command to stop media conveyance when available capacity in the image bufferA goes below a stop buffering level, and continues scanning by the scanneruntil a conveyance stop delay period passes and then stops scanning. When the available capacity exceeds a resume buffering level after the conveyance stop delay period has passed, the dot impact printerapplies a command to resume media transportation and scanning, prohibits storing the scanned image data from the scannersuntil a resume drive delay time passes, and resumes storing data after the resume drive delay time passes.
