    Abstract: A sheet conveying device includes: a housing; a sheet supply tray; and a dust proof cover including a first cover and a second cover. The sheet supply tray is supported to the housing and pivotally movable between a closed position and an open position. The first cover is supported to the housing and pivotally movable between a first position in proximity to the sheet supply tray and a second position away from the sheet supply tray. The second cover is connected to the first cover and pivotally movable about a second pivot axis between a third position in proximity to the sheet supply tray and a fourth position away from the sheet supply tray. The second cover has a center of gravity positioned closer to the housing than the second pivot axis is to the housing in a state where the sheet supply tray is in the closed position.

    Abstract: A controller extracts an image resolution in a first direction of image data stored in a memory; determines, based on the image data, whether a code image is included in an image to be printed on a recording medium, the code image being formed with a plurality of print regions and a plurality of non-print regions; in response to determining that the code image is included, determines whether a print resolution in the first direction is lower than the extracted image resolution in the first direction; in response to determining that the print resolution is lower than the extracted image resolution, updates the print resolution in the first direction with a value equal to or higher than the extracted image resolution in the first direction; and controls a print engine to perform printing on the recording medium with the updated print resolution in the first direction.

    Abstract: A controller determines whether a first direction is perpendicular to an extending direction of a straight line portion in a boundary between recorded and non-recorded regions; determines whether a recording resolution in the first direction is lower than an image resolution; in response to determining that the first direction is perpendicular to the extending direction and that the recording resolution is lower than the image resolution, determines whether at least part of a predicted landing region is located outside a reference line; and in response to determining that the at least part of the predicted landing region is located outside the reference line, controls a head and a carriage to adjust ejection timing of an ink droplet forming the edge of the straight line portion such that a protruding area of an actual landing region of the ink droplet is smaller than a protruding area of the predicted landing region.

    Abstract: A controller determines an original conveyance distance; determines whether a particular code image is to be recorded on a recording medium; when the particular code image is to be recorded, determines, based on the image data and on identification information of a defective ejection port, whether the first region is to be formed with liquid ejected from the defective ejection port assuming that the medium is conveyed by the original conveyance distance; when the first region is to be formed with liquid ejected from the defective ejection port, determines a shortened conveyance distance such that the defective ejection port is located at a position corresponding to a second region with respect to the conveyance direction; performs shortened conveyance processing of controlling the conveyor to convey the medium in the conveyance direction by the shortened conveyance distance; and controls the carriage and the head to record the image on the medium.
