A recording apparatus includes a carriage, a tank, a flow passage, and a valve. The carriage includes a recording head that ejects liquid contained in the tank and supplied from the flow passage. The flow passage includes (i) a fixed flow passage connected to the tank without following a movement of the carriage, (ii) a first flow passage that follows the movement of the carriage and is branched off from the fixed flow passage and connected to the recording head, and (iii) a second flow passage that follows the movement of the carriage and is branched off from the fixed flow passage and connected to the recording head. The valve is provided in one of the first and second flow passages and limits a flow of liquid from the tank to the recording head and allows liquid to flow from the recording head to the tank.

Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a carriage, a tank, and a flow passage. The carriage includes a liquid ejecting recording head and reciprocates in first and second directions. The flow passage supplies liquid from the tank to the recording head, and includes a fixed flow passage, a first flow passage, and a second flow passage. The fixed flow passage is connected to the tank and does not to follow a movement of the carriage. The first flow passage is branched off from the fixed flow passage, is connected to the recording head in the first direction, and follows the carriage movement. The second flow passage is branched off from the fixed flow passage, is connected to the recording head in the second direction, and follows the carriage movement. After the carriage moves in the first direction, stops, and moves in the second direction, liquid is sucked from the recording head.

Recording apparatus and control method therefor

A printing apparatus includes a tank configured to store a liquid to be supplied to a print head, a supply channel configured to supply the liquid from the tank to the print head, a replenishment channel configured to replenish the tank with the liquid, and a stirring unit in the tank, the stirring unit being configured to stir the liquid in the tank by rotating in a first rotation direction. A first distance from a supply port at which the supply channel opens in the tank to a replenishment port at which the replenishment channel opens in the tank in the first rotation direction is less than a second distance from the replenishment port to the supply port in the first rotation direction.

Printing apparatus

Material and sliding system

A recording apparatus includes a storage unit, a supply flow path, a degassing unit, and a temperature adjustment unit. The storage unit stores liquid that is supplied to a recording head that discharges the liquid. The supply flow path connects the storage unit and the recording head. The degassing unit degases the liquid flowing in the supply flow path. The temperature adjustment unit is positioned between the storage unit and the degassing unit and adjusts a temperature of the liquid flowing in the supply flow path.
