INK JET RECORDER USING HOT MELT INK, AND ITS INK EJECTION RECOVERING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an ink jet recorder equipped with a recovery system for discharging unnecessary ink standing in the vicinity of a nozzle opening part in which bubbles are transported to a part other than the nozzle opening part by inclining the entirety of a nozzle. SOLUTION: A recording head is shifted to a rest condition periodically or when print operation is started. At that position, the recording head is inclined from an ejecting position so that bubbles existing in the vicinity of a nozzle opening part ascend to be released into the atmosphere. Subsequently, an absorbing member is applied to the nozzle opening part thus removing ink standing in the vicinity of the nozzle opening part to the outside of the recording head.
