<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that an amount of liquid consumed in dummy ejection operation to a continuous recording medium is wastefully increased. <P>SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus, when a second micro-drive (drive pulse P6) is applied, an amplitude of vibrations of a meniscus of a nozzle is relatively greater than that when a first micro-drive pulse (drive pulse P1) is applied. When a first dummy ejection operation (line flushing operation) is operated as a dummy ejection operation, micro-drive is operated with the first micro-drive pulse (drive pulse P1), and when a second dummy ejection operation (star flushing operation) is operated, micro-drive is operated with the second micro-drive pulse (drive pulse P6). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
