摘要： A cleaning mechanism for cleaning a print head in an inkjet printer with the print head having ink nozzles for discharging ink including a drive control unit which operates the cleaning mechanism at a first process level or a second process level that consumes less ink than the first process level; a timer which counts the elapsed time passed in which the print head is in a no-printing state; and a process selection unit responsive to a predetermined input cleaning command for selecting the first process level when the no-printing state has continued for less than a predetermined time or the second process level when the no-printing state has continued for greater than the predetermined time, based on the value of the timer when the predetermined input cleaning command is received. The predetermined input cleaning command can be received from a cleaning button or from a host computer. The drive control unit operates the cleaning mechanism at the process level selected by the process selection unit according to the predetermined input cleaning command.

摘要： A fluid supply device, a printing device, and a control method for a fluid supply device can desirably supply a fluid while maintaining good throughput, and can reduce device size and cost with a simple construction.

摘要： An inkjet printer has a backflow prevention valve disposed to bottom of subtanks to of the diaphragm pump unit mounted on a carriage, and causes ink passing through the backflow prevention valve to flow to the inkjet head side. A support orifice that supports an umbrella-shaped valve plug, a port formed at a position circumferentially eccentric to the center of the support orifice, and a fluid conduction channel extending from an edge of the port circumferentially around the support orifice are disposed to the valve plug seating surface of the backflow prevention valve. A discharge orifice that discharges ink to the inkjet head side is disposed in the outside wall of the valve plug seating surface, and the discharge orifice and port are formed on the same side of the center of the support orifice.

摘要： A fluid supply device, a printing device, and a method of cleaning a printing device are disclosed. A fluid supply device includes a main tank, a fluid chamber, a fluid-discharging head, a movable carriage, an expansion mechanism that expands the fluid chamber to draw fluid from the main tank, a suction mechanism, a remaining fluid detection unit, a comparison unit that compares the remaining fluid volume in the main tank with a specified value, and a setting unit that sets a cleaning mode. The expansion mechanism is actuated via a movement of the movable carriage. The setting unit sets a first cleaning mode in which a first amount of fluid is vacuumed from the nozzle or a second cleaning mode in which a second amount of fluid is vacuumed from the nozzle that is less than the first amount. The cleaning mode is selected in response to the amount of fluid remaining in the main tank.
