发明名称 LIQUID DISCHARGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING PRESSURE OF LIQUID THEREIN
摘要 A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head, a first tank to which liquid is recovered from the head, a second tank that is connected to the first tank and from which liquid is supplied to the head, a pressure regulator configured to adjust a pressure of the liquid, and a controller configured to control the pressure regulator. The pressure regulator includes a first cylinder connected to an upper portion of the first tank, a first piston movable in the first cylinder, a first valve configured to open and close a path between the first tank and the first cylinder, depending on a position of the first piston, a second cylinder connected to the first cylinder, a second piston movable in the second cylinder, and a second valve configured to open and close a path between the second cylinder and an atmosphere, depending on a position of the second piston.
