Abstract
An inkjet printer includes: a closing unit configured to close at least part of an ink passage connected to an inkjet head to form a closed passage; a negative pressure generator configured to generate a negative pressure in the closed passage; an ink deliverer configured to deliver ink to the inkjet head via the ink passage; and a controller. The controller: drives the closing unit to form the closed passage; drives the negative pressure generator to generate the negative pressure in the closed passage; and, upon the negative pressure in the closed passage reaching a prescribed pressure, stops the negative pressure generator while driving the closing unit to release closure of the at least part of the ink passage, and drives the ink deliverer to discharge an air bubble together with the ink in the at least part of ink passage from the inkjet head.
