Abstract:
A printer includes a head, a flushing receiving member, a cap, and a processor. The head is provided with a nozzle surface intersecting a discharge direction and configured to move in a main scanning direction. The flushing receiving member is positioned in the discharge direction with respect to a movement path of the head in the main scanning direction. The cap is configured to closely adhere to the nozzle surface. The cap and the flushing receiving member are arranged in the main scanning direction. The processor performs flushing processing including a first flushing operation of discharging ink from the head toward the cap, and a second flushing operation of discharging the ink toward the flushing receiving member and print processing, after the flushing processing, of discharging the ink from the head onto the print medium while moving the head in the main scanning direction.
