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 12):
The printer according to  claim 11 , further comprising an internal clock,\n wherein the controller is configured to:\n control the liquid jetting head to execute, as the flushing operation, a periodic flushing operation in which the liquid is jetted from the plurality of nozzles toward the recessed portion in a plurality of times at intervals of a predetermined time; \n control the pump and the cap switching device to execute the idle suction operation after the pre-print flushing operation; \n under a condition that the controller determines that a non-active time of the internal clock before the pre-print flushing operation is not more than the predetermined time, control the liquid jetting head to execute jetting a predetermined amount of the liquid from the plurality of nozzles in the pre-print flushing operation, and further control the pump and the cap switching device to execute the entirety of the idle suction operation after the printing; and \n under a condition that the controller determines that the non-active time of the internal clock before the pre-print flushing operation is more than the predetermined time, control the liquid jetting head to execute jetting an amount, of the liquid, which is greater than the predetermined amount from the plurality of nozzles in the pre-print flushing operation, and further control the pump and the cap switching device to execute the part of the idle suction operation before the printing and execute a remainder of the idle suction operation after the printing.
