Abstract:
In a method of controlling a liquid discharge device, the liquid discharge device includes a liquid discharge unit and at least one valve body. The liquid discharge unit discharges from a nozzle liquid supplied from at least one supply channel. The at least one valve body opens/closes the at least one supply channel. The method includes first control and second control. The first control causes a pressure to be applied to the liquid so as to supply the liquid to the at least one supply channel. The second control causes an external force to operate the at least one valve body operable in accordance with a pressure on a downstream side of the at least one valve body so as to adjust and hold a degree of opening of the at least one valve body in a range between a closed state and a full-open state.

Claim (Index 2):
The method according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the at least one supply channel includes a plurality of supply channels, wherein the at least one valve body includes a plurality of valve bodies, and each of the plurality of valve bodies is provided for a corresponding one of the plurality of supply channels, and wherein the first control is separately performed on each of the plurality of supply channels, and the second control is separately performed on each of the plurality of supply channels.
