Abstract
A tank heater,has a DC heater,and an AC heater,and a front heater has a DC heater,and a DC heater,The DC heater,and the DC heater,are normal heaters which heat and keep the ink tank and the front panel at predetermined temperatures, respectively. On the other hand, the AC heater,and the DC heater,are heaters capable of heating up rapidly. When the printer is started up, all of the heaters start generating heat. In this way, the ink tank and front panel can reach required temperatures. Also, by circulating ink in the ink tank, whose temperature is higher than that of front panel, through front panel at a purging operation, the front panel takes less time to be warmed up. Therefore, a time duration required for a preparatory process can be shortened.
