Abstract:
There is provided a printer including: a liquid jetting head; a receiving section; a waste-liquid storing section; a connecting channel connecting the receiving section and the waste-liquid storing section; a pump; and a controller. The controller executes: printing; recovering nozzles; discharging the liquid, which is present in at least one of the receiving section and the connecting channel, to the waste-liquid storing section, after the recovering of the nozzles. Under a condition that there is no input of the print data before the discharging of the liquid, the controller executes the discharging of the liquid continuously after the recovering of the nozzles; under a condition that there is an input of the print data before the discharging of the liquid, the controller executes the printing after the recovering of the nozzles and then executes at least a part of the discharging of the liquid after the printing.

Claim (Index 6):
The printer according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the receiver includes:\n a cap having a recessed portion, the cap being contactable with the liquid jetting head such that the recessed portion covers the plurality of nozzles; and \n a cap switching device configured to switch a state of the cap between an atmosphere shut-off state in which a space defined by the recessed portion and the liquid jetting head is sealed without communicating with an outside of the cap, and an atmosphere-communication state in which the recessed portion communicates with the outside of the cap; \n wherein in a case that the discharging of the liquid to the waste-liquid storage is executed, the controller controls the pump and the cap switching device to execute an idle suction operation in which the pump is activated in the atmosphere-communication state to discharge the liquid inside the recessed portion, and wherein under a condition that there is the input of the print data to the controller before the idle suction operation, the controller controls the liquid jetting head to execute the printing after the recovering of the plurality of nozzles, and then controls the pump and the cap switching device to execute at least a part of the idle suction operation after the printing.
