The present disclosure discloses a method implemented by a printer (100) to control a fluid firing unit (135) of a printhead (130), when said printhead (130) is coupled to the printer (100), to operate according to any one of a normal printing mode and a recovery mode. According to the method, if the fluid firing unit (135) is operated according to the normal printing mode, a first voltage is applied to the fluid firing unit (135) to fire the fluid firing unit (135) during a printing operation; and if the fluid firing unit (135) is operated according to the recovery mode, a second voltage higher than the first voltage is applied to the fluid firing unit (135) to clean the fluid firing unit (135). 本公开公开了种由打印机(100)实施的用于在打印头(130)被联接至打印机(100)时控制打印头(130)的流体发射单元(135)以根据常规打印模式和恢复模式中的任个操作的方法。根据该方法，在流体发射单元(135)根据常规打印模式操作的情况下，将第电压施加至流体发射单元(135)，以在打印操作期间使流体发射单元(135)发射；并且，在流体发射单元(135)根据恢复模式操作的情况下，将比第电压高的第二电压施加至流体发射单元(135)，以清洗流体发射单元(135)。
