Abstract:
There is provided an ink-jet printer comprising: a recording head, an electric power supply, and a controller which is configured: to determine an ink amount in which an ink is jetted by the recording head in a flushing processing; in a case that the determined ink amount is less than a first ink amount, to boost a driving voltage of the electric power supply to a target voltage value, in accordance with a predetermined first voltage boosting pattern; and in a case that the determined ink amount is not less than the first ink amount, to boost the driving voltage to the target voltage value, in accordance with a predetermined second voltage boosting pattern in which a voltage boosting time is shorter than that in the first voltage boosting pattern. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten FPOT while reducing the load on the constitutive elements of the ink-jet printer.

Claim (Index 13):
The ink-jet printer according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a medium sensor configured to detect the medium conveyed by the conveyor; and a carriage on which the recording head and the medium sensor are mounted, the carriage being configured to move in a scanning direction, crossing a conveyance direction in which the medium is conveyed by the conveyor, in an area including a medium facing area where the carriage faces the medium conveyed by the conveyor, wherein the ink receiver is arranged at a position separated from the medium facing area in the scanning direction; the controller is configured to perform: causing the carriage to move to the medium facing area, after completion of the flushing, and the recording of the image on the medium, after the medium is detected by the medium sensor in a process during which the medium is being conveyed up to the initial position and after completion of the conveyance of the medium up to the initial position.
