1. A printed matter creating device comprising:
a conveyor configured to convey a printing medium along a conveying path;
a printing head configured to form a print on the printing medium being conveyed in a forward direction along the conveying path by the conveyor;
a cutter configured to cut the printing medium, the cutter being disposed on the conveying path, the cutter being positioned downstream of the printing head in the forward direction, the cutter being separated from the printing head a prescribed distance along the conveying path; and
a controller configured to perform:
an acquisition process to acquire print data;
after completing the acquisition process, a first printing process to control the printing head to form a first print on the printing medium while controlling the conveyor to convey the printing medium, the first print being based on first ON dots included in the acquired print data;
after completing the formation of the first print in the first printing process, an interrupting process to interrupt the conveyance of the printing medium by the conveyor;
after performing the interrupting process, a cutting process to control the cutter to cut the printing medium; and
after completing the cutting process, a second printing process to control the printing head to form a second print on the printing medium while controlling the conveyor to convey the printing medium, the second print being based on second ON dots included in the acquired print data,
wherein the acquired print data includes specific print data corresponding to a connecting part connecting the first print and the second print, and
wherein the controller further performs:
an ON dot adjustment process to perform adjusting, on the basis of the acquired print data:
aspects of specific first ON dots, the specific first ON dots being the first ON dots that are in the specific print data; or
aspects of specific second ON dots, the specific second ON dots being the second ON dots that are in the specific print data; or
both the aspects of the specific first ON dots and the aspects of the specific second ON dots.
