摘要： A printer comprises a first head which has first nozzles, a second head which has second nozzles each having a nozzle diameter larger than that of the first nozzle, and an ink cartridge which stores an ink to be supplied to the first and second heads. The first head is directly connected to the ink cartridge by means of a tube. The second head is connected to the first head by means of a tube, and thus the second head is connected to the ink cartridge via the first head. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten the tubes by connecting the ink cartridge and the two heads in series. Further, it is possible to decrease the frequency of the recovery operation by arranging, on the downstream side in the liquid supply direction, the head in which the jetting failure is hardly caused.

摘要： A droplet ejection device includes a carriage capable of moving back and forth, a droplet ejection head which is mounted on the carriage and has a plurality of nozzles, and a droplet receiver positioned capable of receiving liquid ejected from the nozzles. The nozzles which eject a droplet of a second liquid is positioned, in a flushing region, farthest from a printing region compared to the other nozzles. The droplet ejection device is configured to move the carriage after flushing operation so that the nozzles for ejecting a droplet of the second liquid are brought to a position where the nozzles face a part of the droplet receiver where a droplet of the first liquid has been received.

摘要： An ink which is supplied from an ink cartridge via an ink supply tube is stored in an ink tank, and is supplied to a recording head. The ink cartridge is detachably connected to the ink supply tube. At every predetermined time interval, a maintenance unit carries out an air discharge operation to discharge air accumulated in the ink tank, through an air discharge passage. Moreover, even at a time shorter than the predetermined time interval, when a frequency of replacement of the ink cartridge is higher than a predetermined value, the air discharge operation is carried out and the air accumulated in the ink tank is discharged.

摘要： An ink-jet recording apparatus periodically performs the purge process and the wiping process. When the instruction is made to start the recording operation, a control unit judges whether or not the purge process and the wiping process have been performed after the previous recording operation. If it is judged that the purge process and the wiping process have been performed, the recording operation is started after executing the flashing process. Bubbles generated by the purge process are decreased by being dissolved in the ink during the period until the recording operation is started. Therefore, it is possible to avoid any occurrence of the discharge failure which would be otherwise caused by the bubbles contained in the ink. The purge process and the wiping process are separated from the flashing. Therefore, the period of time required for the processes is scarcely inhibits the demand of the user to start the printing.

摘要翻译： 喷墨记录装置周期性地进行清洗处理和擦拭处理。 当指示开始记录操作时，控制单元判断在先前的记录操作之后是否已经执行了清除处理和擦除处理。 如果判定已经执行了净化处理和擦除处理，则在执行闪烁处理之后开始记录操作。 通过在清洗过程中产生的气泡在记录操作开始之前的一段时间内被溶解在油墨中而减少。 因此，可以避免由墨水中含有的气泡引起的排放故障的发生。 吹扫过程和擦拭过程与闪光分离。 因此，处理所需的时间段几乎不能阻止用户开始打印的需求。
