Accordingly, ink liquids are discharged from the respective ink jet heads. Thereafter, the desired ink tank among the respective ink tanks is allowed to communicate with the air tank. Moreover, the desired ink tank and at least one or more air tanks are opened to the atmosphere. In consequence, pressure in the desired ink tank is averaged.
