Abstract: A liquid discharging apparatus, which discharges liquid from at least one nozzle on the basis of data, which includes a controller. When the controller is in a standby state and no liquid is being discharged from the at least one nozzle on the basis of the data, the controller performs a drawing operation wherein the liquid is drawn into the nozzle in a direction that is opposite to the direction that the ink is discharged from the at least one nozzle in order to form a space at a distal end portion of the at least one nozzle where no liquid is present.

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head configured and arranged to discharge a liquid including a sedimentary substance, and a liquid supply path for supplying the liquid from a liquid tank where the liquid is retained to the head. The liquid supply path has differences in elevation of a predetermined length or more in a vertical direction. The liquid supply path has a portion formed into a stepped shape and an angle formed by a width portion and a height portion in the portion formed into the stepped shape is 45 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less.

Abstract: A liquid ejection device includes a liquid ejection head and a capping mechanism. The liquid ejection head includes nozzles for ejecting a dispersion liquid having charged solid particles dispersed in a dispersion medium. The capping mechanism covers the nozzles and receiving the liquid. The capping mechanism includes a cap member, a solid/liquid separation chamber, and a waste liquid tank. The cap member is configured to receive the liquid discharged through the nozzles. The solid/liquid separation chamber is configured to store the liquid and to separate the liquid into the solid particles and the dispersion medium. The dispersion medium separated from the solid particles flows into the waste liquid tank. The solid/liquid separation chamber has a pair of electrodes in contact with the liquid stored therein so that voltage is applied to the electrodes to allow the solid particles to precipitate on a surface of one of the electrodes.

Abstract: A liquid ejection device includes a liquid ejection head and a capping mechanism. The liquid ejection head includes nozzles for ejecting a liquid. The capping mechanism covers the nozzles and receiving the liquid, the capping mechanism being selectively disposed in a contacting state in which the capping mechanism contacts with a nozzle formation surface of the liquid ejection head or in a separated state in which the capping mechanism is separated from the nozzle formation surface. The capping mechanism includes a cap member forming a space in which openings of the nozzles are hermetically sealed in the contacting state, and a pressurizing unit configured to increase pressure in an inner space surrounded by the nozzle formation surface and an inner surface of the cap member.

Abstract: There is provided a fluid ejection apparatus for ejecting a fluid including a head for ejecting the fluid and a moisture retention head cap device for retaining moisture of the head. The moisture retention head cap device is disposed so as to surround a periphery of the head to cover the whole of the head when retaining moisture of the head.

Abstract: A fluid discharging apparatus including a head that has a nozzle which discharges fluid from the nozzle and a sheet shaped wiping member for wiping a nozzle surface of the head. The wiping member is moved relative to the nozzle surface so that portions of the wiping member are sequentially in contact with the nozzle surface in order to wipe the nozzle surface.

Abstract: A fluid ejecting apparatus including a head that ejects fluid, a first fluid storing section for storing the fluid that is located below the head, a second fluid storing section for storing the liquid that is located above the first fluid storing section, a pumping mechanism capable of moving the fluid from the first fluid storing section to the second fluid storing section through the head, and a controller that alternates between a first control mode wherein the pumping mechanism moves the fluid from the first fluid storing section to the second fluid storing section and a second control mode in which the fluid is allowed to flow from the second fluid storing section to the first fluid storing section through the head. Upon receiving an instruction to turn off the power, the controller shifts to the second control mode and then turns off the power.
