Abstract
Provided is a data processing method of a printing apparatus for printing a multi-color image on a printing medium by each of printing heads for at least two colors while transporting the printing medium relative to the printing heads in a paper-feed direction. The method includes a skew detecting step of detecting a degree of skew of the printing medium; a correction printing-data generating step of shifting print data from a printing unit for performing printing in a direction orthogonal to the paper-feed direction in accordance with the degree of skew to generate correction printing-data, the printing unit having a first printing head disposed upstream in the paper-feed direction and a second printing head spaced away from the first printing head downstream in the paper-feed direction; and a printing step of performing printing on the printing medium with the printing unit in accordance with the correction printing-data.
