ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer employing a hot melt ink that, during the period of time the hot melt ink stored in an ink tank is molten, displays a message of "INK IS MOLTEN" on an LCD, or otherwise indicates the molten state, so that a user can recognize that the ink jet printer must not be moved. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a malfunction or failure of the ink jet printer due to the user erroneously moving the ink jet printer with the ink in the ink tank remaining molten thereby spilling liquid ink from the ink tank onto operating components of the ink jet printer.
