ABSTRACT:
A medium contraction amount calculating unit calculates a medium length contraction amount in a fixing process of a recording medium in first printing from a medium length before the fixing process and a medium length after the fixing process. A write timing setting unit has medium contraction amount distributing means which center-distributes time corresponding to the medium length contraction amount to print start timing and print end timing in the next and subsequent printing and sets image write timing in the next and subsequent printing of the recording medium on the basis of the distribution by the medium contraction amount distributing means. When the same image is printed onto both surfaces or onto the same surface, the positional change of the same image can be made inconspicuous.
