    摘要: A printer includes an ink head including a nozzle surface, a wiper to wipe the nozzle surface at a first position, a remover to remove an attachment upon contacting the wiper at a second position, an applier to apply a cleaning fluid to the wiper at a third position, a mover to move the wiper to the first to third positions, and a controller configured or programmed to include a first prior removal controller to bring the wiper into contact with the remover at the second position, an application controller to cause the applier to apply the cleaning fluid to the wiper at the third position after control has been exercised by the first prior removal controller, and a first wiping controller to wipe the nozzle surface with the wiper at the first position after control has been exercised by the application controller.

    摘要: A printer includes a print carriage including an ink head, a sub-carriage movable relative to the print carriage, a mount surface where a medium is to be mounted, a dryer to dry an ink ejected from the ink head onto the medium. The sub-carriage includes a temperature sensor and is movable relative to the print carriage to measure a temperature on or above the mount surface using the temperature sensor. The dryer is adjusted such that the temperature to be measured approaches a predetermined temperature.

    摘要: A test image printer of an inkjet printer causes a test image, including a mark with a predefined shape and usable to correct an image captured by an image capturing device, and a test pattern usable to inspect a plurality of nozzles, to be printed on a recording medium. An image capture controller controls the image capturing device to capture an image of the test image printed on the recording medium. A corrector compares the image of the mark captured by the image capturing device, to the predefined shape of the mark, to calculate a correction value, and corrects the image of the test pattern, captured by the image capturing device, based on the calculated correction value. An inspector inspects the plurality of nozzles based on the image of the test pattern corrected by the corrector.

    摘要: An inkjet printer includes a first light applicator disposed in a second scanning direction relative to a recording head. The first light applicator includes a first upstream light source group at a location corresponding to a location of the recording head in a movement direction of a recording medium, and a first downstream light source group on a downstream side in the movement direction of the recording medium relative to the recording head. The inkjet printer turns off the first upstream light source group and turns on the first downstream light source group during movement of a carriage in a first scanning direction and discharge of first ink from the recording head, and turns on the first upstream light source group and the first downstream light source group during movement of the carriage in the second scanning direction after discharge of the first ink.

    摘要: An inkjet printer includes a support table supporting a waste liquid tank and being displaceable in accordance with a weight of the waste liquid tank, a first sensor to detect that the support table has reached a first position, a second sensor to detect that the support table has reached a second position, a first determinator to determine that the waste liquid tank is in a near-end state when the support table is detected by the first sensor to have reached the first position, and a notifier to notify a user of the near-end state when the first determinator determines that the waste liquid tank is in the near-end state.
