Abstract:
There is provided an ink-jet printer comprising: a recording head, an electric power supply, and a controller which is configured: to determine an ink amount in which an ink is jetted by the recording head in a flushing processing; in a case that the determined ink amount is less than a first ink amount, to boost a driving voltage of the electric power supply to a target voltage value, in accordance with a predetermined first voltage boosting pattern; and in a case that the determined ink amount is not less than the first ink amount, to boost the driving voltage to the target voltage value, in accordance with a predetermined second voltage boosting pattern in which a voltage boosting time is shorter than that in the first voltage boosting pattern. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten FPOT while reducing the load on the constitutive elements of the ink-jet printer.
