Claims

A registration adjustment value for determining a registration adjustment value for a recording apparatus in which a plurality of recording units each including a plurality of line type recording heads are arranged and a divided recording image is recorded on the same recording medium by the plurality of recording units. A decision method,
Recording a registration adjustment pattern between the recording heads in the recording unit and a registration adjustment pattern between the plurality of recording units; and
A receiving step for receiving an input of a registration adjustment value between recording heads in the recording unit and a registration adjustment value between the plurality of recording units related to the registration adjustment pattern;
A storage step of storing the registration adjustment values of the recording heads in the recording unit and the registration adjustment values of the recording units that are received in the receiving step as set values. A characteristic registration adjustment value determination method.

A registration adjustment pattern recording head cross in the recording unit, the registration adjustment pattern of cross between the plurality of recording units, according to claim 1, characterized in that formed on one recording medium Registration adjustment value determination method.

The step of recording a registration adjustment pattern reflecting the mutual registration adjustment value between the plurality of recording units stored in the storing step, and the mutual registration adjustment value between the plurality of recording units are reflected. The registration adjustment value determination method according to claim 1, further comprising a step of performing registration adjustment between the recording heads in the recording unit according to a registration adjustment pattern.

Among the plurality of recording units, the recording unit that are adjacent to the recording width direction has an overlap recording regions overlap each other,
The registration adjustment pattern between recording units each other, registration adjustment value determination according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that it is recorded by the reference head of both recording units in the overlapping recording area Method.

The registration adjustment value between the recording heads in the recording unit and the registration adjustment value between the plurality of recording units are a vertical registration adjustment value for detecting a positional misalignment in the vertical direction along the transport direction. The registration adjustment value determination method according to claim 1, further comprising: a lateral registration adjustment value for detecting a positional shift in a lateral direction along the recording width direction .

The vertical registration adjustment value and the horizontal registration adjustment value between the units obtained by the recording units adjacent to the reference recording unit are the vertical registration adjustment values between the units for the next recording unit further adjacent in the same recording width direction. 6. The registration adjustment value determination method according to claim 5, wherein the adjustment value is added to the lateral registration adjustment value as a value including an adjustment direction .

7. The registration adjustment according to claim 5, wherein initial values of the vertical registration adjustment value and the horizontal registration adjustment value of the reference recording head in the reference recording unit are both zero and can be changed . Value determination method.

The registration adjustment value according to claim 1, wherein the registration adjustment value is determined by reading a recorded adjustment pattern by an image reading device and receiving an input from the image reading device. Adjustment value determination method.

  This is a registration adjustment method in which a plurality of recording units each including a plurality of line-type recording heads are arranged, and the registration of a recording apparatus that records the divided recording images on the same recording medium by the plurality of recording units is adjusted. And
  Recording a registration adjustment pattern between the recording heads in the recording unit and a registration adjustment pattern between the plurality of recording units; and
  A receiving step for receiving an input of a registration adjustment value between recording heads in the recording unit and a registration adjustment value between the plurality of recording units related to the registration adjustment pattern;
  A storage step of storing the registration adjustment values of the recording heads in the recording unit received in the receiving step and the registration adjustment values of the plurality of recording units as set values;
  Performing inter-unit adjustment which is mutual registration adjustment between the plurality of recording units based on the recorded registration adjustment pattern;
  Performing in-unit adjustment which is mutual registration adjustment between the plurality of recording heads in each recording unit;
