Zusammenfassung:A controller 10 activates a heater 21 when a temperature detected by a temperature sensor 13 for detecting a temperature of ink becomes lower than a first reference temperature Ta lower than the appropriate ink ejection temperature Ta at the time of printing pause in which printing is paused. After the heater 21 is activated, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 13 exceeds a predetermined second reference temperature T2 that is higher than the first reference temperature T1 and lower than the appropriate ink ejection temperature Ta, the controller 10 moves the inkjet head to the maintenance region and forcibly discharges ink from the inkjet head in the maintenance region.
