Abstract: As first determination processing, a CPU of a printer determines whether a temperature T, which is based on an input value from a temperature detector, is higher than a reference temperature Tw. In a case where the CPU has not determined, in the first determination processing, that the temperature T is higher than the reference temperature Tw, the CPU, after cover processing and without performing soak processing, performs first cap processing, which puts a nozzle face into a state in which it is not soaked by a cleaning liquid. In a case where the CPU has determined, in the first determination processing, that the temperature T is higher than the reference temperature Tw, the CPU, after the cover processing, performs the soak processing, which supplies the cleaning liquid to a cap, thus putting the nozzle face into a state in which it is soaked by the cleaning liquid. The possibility that a discharge failure will occur in a nozzle of the printer is therefore reduced.

Abstract: As first determination processing, a CPU of a printer determines whether a temperature T, which is based on an input value from a temperature detector, is higher than a reference temperature Tw. In a case where the CPU has not determined, in the first determination processing, that the temperature T is higher than the reference temperature Tw, the CPU, after cover processing and without performing soak processing, performs first cap processing, which puts a nozzle face into a state in which it is not soaked by a cleaning liquid. In a case where the CPU has determined, in the first determination processing, that the temperature T is higher than the reference temperature Tw, the CPU, after the cover processing, performs the soak processing, which supplies the cleaning liquid to a cap, thus putting the nozzle face into a state in which it is soaked by the cleaning liquid. The possibility that a discharge failure will occur in a nozzle of the printer is therefore reduced.
