INKJET RECORDING APPARATUS WITH TANK AND METHOD THEREFOR INCLUDING NOTIFICATION FEATURES

摘要

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a tank forming an ink chamber and including an injection inlet, a recording head, a cover, a monitor, a cover sensor, an operation panel, and a controller. The controller controls operation of the recording head and the monitor. The controller performs decision processing deciding whether ink injection into the ink chamber after complement of an initial process is completed, and counts an amount of ink discharged from the recording head. The controller controls the monitor to display notification depending on the decision processing and the counted amount of discharged ink.

主权项

1. An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
a tank forming an ink chamber and including an injection inlets; a recording head configured to discharge ink from the ink chamber to record an image on a sheet; a monitor, and a controller configured to control operation of the recording head and the monitor, wherein the controller is configured to:
perform decision processing deciding whether ink injection into the ink chamber after complement of an initial process is completed, the initial process corresponding to filling a flow path from the ink chamber to the recording head with ink;count an amount of ink discharged from the recording head;based on decision that the ink injection into the ink chamber after complement of an initial process is not completed and based on the counted amount of discharged ink being greater than or equal to a first threshold value, perform a first notification process corresponding to controlling the monitor to display first notification on the monitor; andbased on decision that the ink injection into the ink chamber after complement of an initial process is completed and based on the counted amount of discharged ink being greater than or equal to a second threshold, perform a second notification process corresponding to controlling the monitor to display second notification on the monitor and the second threshold is greater than the first threshold value.
