ABSTRACT:
Wiping is performed every time when a predetermined period elapses. With the wiping performed step by step, a density of ink in liquid remaining on a discharge port surface is diluted, and becomes a predetermined density or lower. Accordingly, a condition can be maintained, in which the ink can be reliably discharged from a recording head when a recording operation is newly started, although the wiping is not additionally performed after the above wiping. In this case, even when the recording operation is started again or the recording operation is newly started after the several wiping operations, an amount of cleaning liquid used in the several times of wiping is proper to an intermission period. Thus, the cleaning liquid can be prevented from being wastefully consumed.
