Abstract
A print device includes a head, a recovery portion, and a processor. The head ejects an ink onto a print medium. The recovery portion performs recovery processing to recover an ejection performance of the ink of the head. The processor acquires an integrated value of an ejection amount of the ink, and determines when the integrated value is equal to or more than a reference value, execution of the recovery processing including wiping of a nozzle surface. A nozzle hole is formed in the nozzle surface and ejects the ink. The processor acquires a temperature correlation value corresponding to an environmental temperature, and sets the reference value based on the acquired temperature correlation value such that the reference value when the environmental temperature is a first temperature is smaller than the reference value when the environmental temperature is a second temperature. The second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
