<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute preparation for a long-term rest.SOLUTION: Liquid in a main tank 202 or the like is discharged (S21). The main tank 202 or the like is cleaned by filling solvent therein (S22). Then, the main tank 202 is brought into the atmosphere open state through an exhaust path 206 (exhaust port 206a) in a step S23. In this state, the main tank 202 communicates with a liquid discharge path 262 through an ink circulation path 208 and an on-off valve V5. Outer air is introduced from the exhaust path 206 to the main tank 202 by the suction force of a circulation pump 212, and the air having passed through the main tank 202 is exhausted outside through the ink circulation path 208 and the liquid discharge path 262. Thereby, drying of the main tank 202 is performed.</p> |
