Zusammenfassung:A temperature sensor detects temperature of ink to be supplied to a plurality of nozzles. When, upon receiving a print request, a detection temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than a reference temperature, a control portion executes a preliminary vibration control to cause an ink meniscus oscillation to occur in each of the nozzles by vibrating the piezoelectric elements, and after the detection temperature increases up to the reference temperature, executes an ink ejection control to cause the ink to be ejected from the nozzles by vibrating the piezoelectric elements in correspondence with an output target image of a print request. When, upon receiving the print request, the detection temperature is higher than the reference temperature, the control portion executes the ink ejection control without executing the preliminary vibration control.
