Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A maintenance method which is used for a liquid jetting apparatus provided with a jetting head which has a nozzle surface formed with nozzle holes and which jets a liquid from the nozzle holes and a cap which covers the nozzle surface, includes: detecting a temperature in the liquid jetting apparatus; discharging the liquid in the jetting head from the nozzle holes into the cap in a state that the nozzle surface of the jetting head is covered with the cap; sucking the liquid discharged into the cap via a discharge hole provided at a bottom portion of the cap in a state that the cap is separated from the jetting head; and determining a suction amount for sucking the liquid discharged into the cap per a predetermined period of time based on the detected temperature.
