Abstract: An electronic device includes a moving body, first and second sensors, and a processor. The first sensor detects the moving body passing a reference position while moving along a first axis. The second sensor outputs a second phase signal of a second phase according to the moving body moving along the first axis, wherein the second phase is shifted from a first phase. In a setting mode, the processor stores information data indicating a level of the second phase signal at a time when the first sensor detects the reference position. In an operation control mode, the processor sets, as a position pertaining to an origin on the first axis, a position of an earliest edge of the first phase after the second phase signal switches from a level identical with the level stored in the setting mode to a different level after the first sensor detects the reference position.

Abstract: A printer includes a print head and a processor. The processor controls operation of the head. In an area where the head is movable, (i) a drawing region where a finger or a toe is placed, and the head performs drawing on a nail of the finger or the toe, (ii) a standby region where the head is positioned during a no-drawing period, and (iii) a suspension region where the head can stop temporarily are provided such that a moving distance of the head from the suspension region to the drawing region is shorter than a moving distance of the head from the standby region to the drawing region. If nails are successively subjected to the drawing, the processor causes the head to stop temporarily in the suspension region between drawing operations on the nails without causing the head to move to the standby region.

Abstract: A drawing apparatus is provided by which quality of a predetermined degree or higher can be preserved in cases of drawing a nail design on a nail; and a drawing method for the drawing apparatus.The drawing apparatus includes a reference plane on which a finger or toe having a nail is mounted; a drawing unit (40) that draws a nail design on a drawable area in the nail; a nail height detection portion (814) that detects a distribution of height from the reference plane within a surface of the nail, on the basis of an image obtained by imaging the nail; and a design determination portion (815) that determines the suitability of drawing the nail design on the surface of the nail by the drawing unit (40), on the basis of the drawable area based on the distribution by the nail height detection portion (814).
