2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional serial printer, a recording head capable of selectively forming a plurality of dots of 7 to 48 scans a recording area while reciprocating on a recording paper to perform recording. The method is known. As a recording principle, an inkjet method, an impact dot method, etc. are known. There are two known recording operations: a method of performing recording only during a moving operation in one direction (one-way printing) and a method of performing recording during a moving operation in both directions (bidirectional printing) among reciprocal scanning. The recording paper remains stationary during the recording operation of the recording head,
In the bidirectional printing method, when the reciprocating motion of the recording head is reversed, and in the unidirectional printing method, when the recording head is returned, the recording head is conveyed by a predetermined amount in the direction orthogonal to the scanning direction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A serial printer of the present invention is a serial printer that prints on a recording paper by a recording head that reciprocally scans the recording paper. The recording paper is continuously moved and the recording paper is continuously conveyed. However, the recording head has the same speed component as the moving speed of the recording paper in the moving direction of the recording paper, and records in the first direction not perpendicular to the moving direction of the recording paper and the moving direction of the recording paper. It has a scanning unit that has the same velocity component as the moving speed of the paper and scans the recording paper in a second direction that is different from the first direction and is not orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording paper.

The scanning operation will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows a scanning locus of the recording head 2 on the recording paper 1. The recording paper 1 is moved in the direction of arrow A, and the carriage 21 reciprocates. First, in the outward process, the print head 2 is moved at a constant speed in the direction indicated by the velocity component VH1 while moving the carriage in the direction indicated by the velocity component UH1 in FIG. As a result, the recording head 2 moves the recording paper 1 to the U
Scan in the first direction that is composed of H1 and VH1. Next, in the return pass, the recording head 2 is moved to the velocity component VH while moving the carriage in the direction indicated by the velocity component UH2 in FIG.
It is moved at a constant speed in the direction indicated by 2. As a result, the recording head 2 scans the recording paper 1 in the second direction composed of UH2 and VH2. That is, the first and second directions in which the recording head 2 scans are not orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording paper.

L = VT × (T1 + T2 + T3) VT = VH1 = VH2 UH1 = -UH2 D = VT × (T2 + T3) As a result, the locus of movement of the recording head 2 by the scanning operation in the first direction is in the area indicated by 81. Become. Next, the carriage 21 is reversed, and the locus of movement of the recording head 2 by the scanning operation in the second direction becomes an area indicated by 82.
In this area, a head drive signal is applied to the recording head 2 according to the recording image to selectively eject ink droplets from each nozzle to form an ink image. Since the recording paper 1 is moving at a constant speed VT, the above-mentioned scanning operation locus becomes an area parallel to the direction of the arrow B on the recording paper 1 like recording areas 83 and 84. Therefore, the recording paper 1 can be scanned without gaps by continuous scanning.

In the structure of this embodiment, the scanning operation
An ink image is formed in a belt-shaped area (83 and 84 in FIG. 2) parallel to the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording paper 1. By repeatedly scanning the recording head 2, it is possible to perform recording so that the surface of the recording paper 1 is filled without gaps. That is, scanning is performed line-sequentially in a direction crossing the recording paper 1, but the recording paper 1 can be moved at a constant speed without being intermittently moved unlike the conventional serial printer. For this reason, the load for accelerating and decelerating the recording paper and the mechanism for conveying the recording paper is smaller than that in the case where the recording paper is intermittently conveyed. This reduces fluctuations in power consumption and suppresses vibration and noise. Furthermore, since recording is performed in both the forward and backward steps of the recording head 2, high speed recording can be performed.
