Abstract
In discharge recovery processing, a continuous sheetis moved from a facing position facing a head portionto a first position (in the down direction in the drawing) as an evacuating position in the discharge recovery processing, thereafter, a discharge recovery processing unitin the standby mode at a second position (in the up direction in the drawing) different from the facing position is moved to the facing position, and the discharge recovery processing is performed. In the discharge recovery processing, the head unitis not moved and therefore the preferable positional reproducibility is obtained after ending the discharge recovery processing.
