PRINTER DEVICE AND METHOD OF MAINTAINING SAME

摘要

[Object] To provide a printer device that can remove foreign substances inside a printer head while being simple in configuration. [Means] A printer device (10) includes a guide rail that extends in a scanning direction; a printer head (22) that is reciprocatable relative to the guide rail in the scanning direction, and that discharges an ink from a discharge nozzle (25a) by changing a capacity of an ink chamber (24a) that communicates with the discharge nozzle (25a) by oscillation of a piezo element (24); and a controller that controls the oscillation of the piezo element (24). The controller exerts control to oscillate the piezo element (24) and performs maintenance of the printer head (22) by causing the ink to be discharged by the oscillation of the piezo element (24).
