This application discloses a method for controlling jet printing positions, including: detecting a color code of an inputted paper by a color code sensor, and outputting a pulse signal when the color code is detected; configuring an expectation window where the pulse signal is expected to be generated; initiating jet printing after a predetermined delay period when the pulse signal is detected in the expectation window; and initiating jet printing after correction when no pulse signal is detected in the expectation window or the pulse signal is detected outside the expectation window. The method may improve the quality of jet printing.
