Abstract

See full text

An inkjet printer is provided with a conveyor, a carriage movable in a scanning direction, and mounting a printing head and a sensor configured to output a detection signal based on absence/presence of the sheet, and a controller. The controller is configured to obtain image data representing an image to be printed on the sheet, calculate, based on the image data, an estimate margin value which is used to determine a margin width at an end, in a scanning direction, of the sheet, and detect end positions, in the scanning direction, of the sheet based on the detection signal during movement of the carriage in the scanning direction when the margin width estimated based on the estimate margin value is less than a threshold width, while the detection process is not executed when the margin width is not less than a threshold width.
