A servo driving method of the present invention to drive a stepping motor
driven by a predetermined driving pulse, by a servo control method, is
comprising a setting step of setting a driving mode of the stepping motor
switchable at least between a first driving mode, in which the stepping
motor is driven with a relatively large current, and a second driving
mode, in which the stepping motor is driven with a relatively small
current, and a switching step of switching the driving mode between the
first driving mode and the second driving mode when a predetermined mode
switching information is given. Thereby, it becomes possible to reduce
the power consumption by supplying power efficiently to the stepping
motor.
