るレジスタ５には、所定値データＡが予めセ。When the purge mechanism unit 2 receives the drive signal Dt from the purge machine wall drive unit 8, it has the function of forcibly sending the ink to the gold print head 3, causing the entire ink to be ejected from the nozzle N, and cleaning the nozzle gold. . Also, the paper 12 in the storage box 13
is pulled out to the front of the nozzle N of the printing hect 3 by the platen P and paper feed sprocket S. Motor M & M that rotates paper feed sprocket S and platen Pi,
Driven by a drive signal d from the motor drive unit 1'l,
This drive signal d is generated by the sixth generation transparent command C issued from the control section 4. Therefore, the feed amount of the m paper 12 is proportional to the number of paper feed commands C. The invention is to grasp the paper feed command Cg number of ticks; At least one ink is ejected from the nozzle N. Predetermined value data A is set in advance in the register 5 in the drawing.
