Abstract
A method of adjusting an ink suction amount in an
ink jet printer includes the steps of: determining an
ink suction amount according to a printing state; and
sucking the ink from a head according to the
determination. Therefore, since the ink is sucked by
moving the piston as much as a predetermined distance
according to the clogging state of the nozzle,
unnecessary consumption of the ink can be prevented.
Simultaneously, since the piston only moves to the
predetermined position, a suction time can also be
curtailed. Thus, the ink cartridge life can be
extended, and work efficiency can be improved as a
recovery time to a normal state from the clogged state
is reduced.
