Abstract
In the ejection process in which the ink is ejected by using the ejection driving pulse, the ink is heated by a heating mechanism. On the other hand, in the maintenance process in which the ejection ability of the printing head is recovered by repeatedly applying the maintenance driving pulse to the piezoelectric oscillator, the ink is cooled by a cooling mechanism.
