Zusammenfassung: | To provide a liquid discharge device which can extend the life of a web as compared to a configuration of a conventional technique that constantly sends a new web contact surface to a belt surface, and a control method of the liquid discharge device.SOLUTION: A liquid discharge device includes: a conveyor belt that conveys a medium; a discharge part that discharges liquid to the medium conveyed by the conveyor belt; a cleaning mechanism that cleans the conveyor belt; and a control part that controls the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a web that comes into contact with the conveyor belt and wipes off the liquid on the conveyor belt, and a drive part that changes a wiping surface of the web with which the conveyor belt comes into contact. The control part performs a first operation of changing the wiping surface of the web that comes into contact with the conveyor belt a predetermined number of times M3 during a cleaning period of cleaning the conveyor belt (steps S19-S25).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14
【課題】常に新しいウェブ接触面をベルト表面に対して送り出す従来技術の構成に比較して、ウェブの寿命を延ばすことができる液体吐出装置及び液体吐出装置の制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】液体吐出装置は、媒体を搬送する搬送ベルトと、搬送ベルトにより搬送される媒体に液体を吐出する吐出部と、搬送ベルトをクリーニングするクリーニング機構と、クリーニング機構を制御する制御部と、を備える。クリーニング機構は、搬送ベルトと当接し、搬送ベルト上の液体を払拭するウェブと、搬送ベルトが当接するウェブの払拭面を変更させる駆動部と、を備える。制御部は、搬送ベルトと当接するウェブの払拭面を変更する第1動作を、搬送ベルトをクリーニングするクリーニング期間内に所定回数M3行う(ステップS19~S25)。【選択図】図14 |
