Abstract
A medium processing apparatus includes an intermediate stacker on which media recorded by a recording apparatus are stacked, the recording apparatus including a liquid ejection head which performs recording by ejecting liquid to media and a maintenance apparatus which performs maintenance of the liquid ejection head, and a processor which executes a process on the media received by the intermediate stacker. The medium processing apparatus executes the process after a medium which is last recorded before the maintenance is stacked on the intermediate stacker.
Claims6
A method for controlling a recording system including
- a recording apparatus including a liquid ejection head which performs recording by ejecting liquid to a medium,
- a maintenance section which executes maintenance of the liquid ejection head, and
- a medium processing apparatus that includes
- a medium stacking section on which media recorded by the recording apparatus are stacked, and
- a processor which executes a process on the media received by the medium stacking section,
- the method comprising:
- executing the maintenance in response to termination of the recording on media included in targets of the process of one time when a processing interval time which is an interval of the process is shorter than a predetermined maintenance interval time which is an interval of execution of the maintenance.
A recording system comprising:
- a recording apparatus including
- a liquid ejection head which performs recording by ejecting liquid to a medium,
- a maintenance section which executes maintenance of the liquid ejection head, and
- a controller which controls operations of the maintenance section;
- and
- a medium processing apparatus including
- a medium stacking section on which media recorded by the recording apparatus are stacked, and
- a processor which executes a process on the media received by the medium stacking section, wherein
- the controller executes the maintenance in response to termination of the recording on media included in targets of the process of one time when a processing interval time which is an interval of the process is shorter than a predetermined maintenance interval time which is an interval of execution of the maintenance.
