NOZZLE UNIT CONTROL METHOD AND INKJET RECORDING APPARATUS

Abstract: a processor times a capped time that is a duration time of a capped state of a nozzle unit when the ink is not being ejected, and an open time that is a duration time of an open state of the nozzle unit when the ink is not being ejected. the processor sets a number of times parameter relating to a number of times that a meniscus of the ink in a plurality of nozzles of the nozzle unit is oscillated according to the capped time and the open time. the processor generates the meniscus oscillation of the ink a number of times corresponding to the number of times parameter from when a request for image formation is received until when the image formation is started.
