Inkjet recording apparatus |
摘要 |
An inkjet recording apparatus predicts the volume of air bubbles generated in a storage section of a recording head based on an input recording job. When the volume of the amount of ink in the storage section of the recording head is less than the predicted volume of air bubbles, a recovery operation is performed. |

1. An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
a recording head configured to discharge ink; an obtaining unit configured to obtain an amount of ink in the recording head; a prediction unit configured to predict, based on an input recording job, a volume of air bubbles generated in the recording head; an ink tank configured to store ink to be supplied to the recording head; a filling unit configured to perform a filling operation that fills ink to the recording head from the ink tank; and a controller configured to cause the filling unit to perform the filling operation when the volume of the amount of ink is less than the volume of air bubbles. |
