<p>An inkjet recording device includes a liquid-droplet ejection head (34) having a plurality of nozzles for ejecting droplets of a recording liquid, a flexible tube member (37, 105) connected to the head (34), a tube pump (100) disposed on the tube member (37, 105) to supply the liquid to the head (34) through the tube member (37, 105), a rotational press member (104) disposed in the pump (100) and, while rotating in a first direction, sequentially compressing the tube member (37, 105) to supply the liquid to the head (34), and a controller communicatively connected to the pump (100) and causes the press member (104) of the pump (100) to rotate in the first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction. At least one portion of the tube member (37, 105) is compressed with the press member (104) while the pump (100) is stopped. The controller, prior to rotation of the press member (104) in the first or second direction, causes the press member (104) to rotate in reverse with respect to the first or second direction.</p> |
