Provided is a maintenance system of an ink jet recording device which appropriately maintains an ink jet head and efficiently processes a job. In an ink jet recording device that acquires a job relevant to image recording and sequentially executes the job, the ejection state of the ink jet head is detected before the next job is executed. The ejection abnormality level of the ink jet head is determined on the basis of the detection result. A maintenance execution criterion which is set in advance refers to, and the necessity of maintenance of the ink jet head is determined from the determination result of the ejection abnormality level. In a case where maintenance is required, the ink jet head is maintained before the next job is executed. On the other hand, in a case where maintenance is not required, the next job is performed. |
