Abstract

See full text

A printing apparatus includes a printing mechanism performing printing by ejecting ink from a printing head which is relatively moved with respect to the printed medium and a printing control section controlling operation of the printing mechanism. A plurality of nozzle rows are formed side by side for each of ink types in a main scanning direction in the printing head. The printing mechanism includes a transportation section which is configured so as to be capable of switching a transportation direction of the printed medium between a first direction and a second direction. The printing control section performs the printing by switching the first printing mode which uses two or more nozzle rows and the second printing mode which uses one or more nozzle rows, which is caused by switching the transportation direction.
