Description
制御部87は、矢印10bで示す方向における媒体90に対する印刷を実行する度に、ステッピングモーター72を駆動してカムシャフト45を1回転させる。制御部87は、カムシャフト45が1回転したか否かをフォトセンサー47からの信号に基づいて判断することができる。制御部87は、ステッピングモーター72を駆動している間だけバルブ24を開くようにしても良いし、印刷を実行している間中、バルブ24を開いても良い。
制御部87は、インクジェットヘッド14によるインクの吐出量を監視し、特定の量を吐出した場合に、特定の時間、ステッピングモーター72を駆動する。制御部87は、ステッピングモーター72を駆動している間だけバルブ24を開くようにしても良いし、印刷を実行している間中、バルブ24を開いても良い。
制御部87は、フォトセンサー64からの信号に基づいてバッファー50のインク貯留室51aの容積が特定の容積以下になったと判断すると、特定の時間、ステッピングモーター72を駆動する。制御部87は、ステッピングモーター72を駆動している間だけバルブ24を開くようにしても良いし、印刷を実行している間中、バルブ24を開いても良い。
制御部87は、印刷を実行している間中、バルブ24を開き、ステッピングモーター72を駆動する。
