Abstract:
A controller of an inkjet printing apparatus is configured such that, in response to receipt of a preceding command, which notifies transmission of a recording command in advance, from an information processing device through the communication device, the controller executes a separating process to move from a covering position to a spaced position, a moving process to move a carriage, from which the cap is separated, from a first position to a second position, a flushing process to cause the inkjet head to eject the ink toward an ink receiver in response to receipt of a recording command instructing recording of an image on the sheet and upon completion of the moving process, and a recording process to cause a conveyer to convey the sheet and cause the inkjet head to eject the ink in accordance with the recording command, in response to completion of the flushing process.

Claim (Index 1):
An inkjet printing apparatus, comprising:\n a sheet conveyer configured to convey a sheet in a conveying direction; a carriage configured to move in a main scanning direction which intersect with the conveying direction in an area including a sheet facing area within which the carriage faces the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveyer; an inkjet head mounted on the carriage and configured to eject ink droplets through nozzles formed on the inkjet head; a cap configured to face the inkjet head when the carriage is located at a first position which is outside the sheet facing area in the main scanning direction, the cap being movable between a covering position and a spaced position, the covering position being a position at which the cap closely contacts the inkjet head and covers the nozzles, the spaced position being a position at which the cap is spaced from the inkjet head; an ink receiver configured to face the inkjet head when the ink receiver is located at a second position which is outside the sheet facing area in the main scanning direction and different from the first position; a communication device; and a controller configured to: in response to receipt of a preceding command which is a command notifying transmission of a recording command in advance from an information processing device through the communication device, separate the cap from the covering position to the spaced position move the carriage from which the cap is spaced from the first position to the second position; and in response to receipt of the recording command which instructs recording of an image on the sheet through the communication device, move the carriage toward the second position and cause the inkjet head to eject the ink toward the ink receiver, and cause the conveyer to convey the sheet and cause the inkjet head to eject the ink in accordance with the recording command.
