Abstract: To prevent a failure of an ink jet printer due to ink clogging in a hollow needle and the vicinity thereof. A continuous ink jet printer includes: an ink tank that stores ink and a solvent as a printing ink; a printing head that performs printing with the printing ink; an ink hollow needle that accesses the ink in an ink cartridge when an ink reservoir receives the ink cartridge; a first ink tube that causes the ink to flow from the ink hollow needle to the ink tank; and a supply control section that executes suction control to generate a flow from the ink hollow needle toward the first ink tube when the ink is taken out from the ink cartridge received in the ink reservoir, and executes blowing control to generate a flow from the first ink tube toward the ink hollow needle when reverse-flow cleaning is performed.

Abstract: A film forming apparatus includes a film forming chamber in which a film is formed on a substrate at a film forming position, a plurality of load lock chambers provided on the film forming chamber through gate valves respectively, a plurality of pivots provided in the film forming chamber correspondingly to the respective load lock chambers, and carrying arms supported by the pivots respectively so as to move the substrate from any one of the load lock chambers to the film forming position and contrariwise from the film forming position to any one of the load lock chambers.
