Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executed by a computer provided in a printer including a head configured to eject photocurable ink onto an object to be printed supported by a platen, a lamp configured to irradiate light onto the object to be printed on which the ink is ejected, and a first sensor provided inside the printer and configured to detect a temperature inside the printer, the computer-readable instructions, when executed, instructing the computer to perform processes comprising:
a first acquisition step of causing the first sensor to acquire the temperature inside the printer;
a second acquisition step of acquiring, based on print data, a duty ratio indicating a printing ratio when ejecting the ink onto an ejection region of the object to be printed; and
a setting step of increasing a number of times of a flushing operation compared to a predetermined reference number of times, when the duty ratio acquired by the second acquisition step is a low duty ratio lower than a predetermined reference duty ratio used as a reference, and the temperature detected by the first sensor is higher than a predetermined reference temperature.
