Abstract
The driving method of the present invention is a driving method to drive a stepping motor driven by a predetermined driving pulse, by the servo driving method, and is characterized in that a predetermined sampling period is set, and the generation condition of the driving pulse to drive the stepping motor is set at the sampling periods. Thereby, the stepping motor can be driven while the most suitable driving condition is determined at the predetermined sampling periods. That is, since the driving condition of the stepping motor can be changed at the sampling periods, even when the stepping motor driven by the driving pulse is the driving source, appropriate servo control can be realized.
