Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a liquid discharging apparatus that includes a discharging head having a plurality of nozzles which discharge liquid; a storage section which stores the liquid; a circulation flow path having the discharging head, the storage section, a first flow path through which the liquid is supplied from the storage section to the discharging head, and second flow path through which the liquid flows back to the storage section from the discharging head; a pump that circulates the liquid through the circulation flow path; a sealing member capable of sealing each of the plurality of nozzles; and a pressurization section capable of pressurizing the storage section, the method comprising: a first process of sealing each of the plurality of the nozzles using the sealing member; a second process of executing a first rotation control in which the pump is controlled such that the pump rotates at a first rotational rate after the first process is completed; a third process of executing a second rotation control in which the pump is controlled such that the pump rotates at a second rotational rate after the second process is complete, the second rotational rate being lower than the first rotational rate; a fourth process of pressurizing the storage section using the pressurization section after the third process is completed; a fifth process of releasing the sealing of each of the plurality of the nozzles after the fourth process is completed; and a sixth process of stopping the pressurizing of the storage section after the fifth process is completed.
