主权项 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.
