Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A printing device includes a nozzle for discharging liquid, a counter that counts the number of signals for defining a cycle in which the liquid is discharged through the nozzle, and a discharge control portion that controls such that the liquid is not discharged through the nozzle when the number of signals counted by the counter is larger than a predetermined threshold value.
