Abstract

When filling a printing head (24) with ink, ink in a sub-tank (53) is circulated through a forward path port (69), a forward path (62), the printing head, a return path (64), a return path port (73), and the sub-tank by pumping ink from the forward path port side to the printing head side by a circulation pump (76) in a state where a plurality of nozzles is sealed by bringing a contact member (44) of a capping device (40) into contact with a nozzle formation surface. Thereafter, sealing of the plurality of nozzles by the capping device is released while pressurizing the sub-tank by a pressure adjusting device (80).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid ejecting device and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as such a liquid ejecting device, a device has been proposed, that is, the device is provided with: a printing head for ejecting ink; an ink tank for storing ink; and a first ink flow path for Ink is supplied from the ink tank to the manifold of the printing head; the second ink flow channel for recovering the ink from the manifold to the ink tank; the pump for ink circulation, which is provided on the first ink flow channel; the on-off valve, It is provided on the second ink flow path; a suction cap for covering the nozzle surface of the printing head; and a suction pump connected to the suction cap through a suction tube (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In this device, when filling ink into the printing head, first, the nozzle surface of the printing head is covered with a suction cap, and the on-off valve is opened...
