Abstract
A liquid jetting apparatus for jetting a liquid employing a liquid jetting head includes a capping member for covering a liquid jetting region of the liquid jetting head when the liquid jetting head is mounted, a driver for driving the capping member, a detector for detecting that the liquid jetting head is mounted, and a controller for controlling the driving of the capping member by the driver when the dectector detects that the liquid jetting head is mounted, so as to first seperate the capping member from the liquid jetting region of the liquid jetting head and then cause to cover again the liquid jetting region of the liquid jetting head.
