More Information
Summary:An ink jet printer comprises a plurality of ink jet heads which record an image on a recording medium by ejecting ink, an ink bottle in which the ink to be supplied to the ink jet heads is filled, an ink supply path which connects to the ink bottle and each ink jet head so that the ink may be flowable therebetween, and a valve which is provided on the ink supply path and controls the flow of the ink between the ink bottle and each ink jet head. In the ink jet printer, the ink bottle, the valve and the inkjet heads are arranged downward in this order in the vertical direction, and the ink supply path constantly extends upwards in the vertical direction in such a manner that air which has entered into the ink supply path moves up above the valve due to a difference in the specific gravity between the air and the ink.
