Liquid ejecting apparatus, control method for the same, and medium

A control method for a liquid ejecting apparatus including a head having a liquid channel including a nozzle, a receiver, and a recovery channel connecting the receiver and the liquid channel, the method comprising:

• a recovering process of feeding a liquid from the receiver to the liquid channel via the recovery channel;
• a first determining process of determining whether a first condition is satisfied, the first condition representing a first increase of a liquid feeding time required to feed a predetermined amount of liquid to the liquid channel via the recovery channel;
• and
• a recording process of recording an image on a recording medium by causing the head to eject liquid from the nozzle to the recording medium,
• wherein, in response to determining in the first determining process that the first condition is satisfied, causing the liquid ejecting apparatus to perform, in the recording process, at least one of:
• a first control in which a recording time with respect to a unit area of the recording medium is longer than a recording time with respect to the unit area of a case where the first condition is determined to be not satisfied in the first determining process, or
• a second control in which an ejection amount of liquid with respect to the unit area of the recording medium is less than an ejection amount of a case where the first condition is determined to be not satisfied in the first determining process.

A non-transitory and computer-readable medium storing a program executable by a controller of a liquid ejecting apparatus, the liquid ejecting apparatus including:

• a head having a liquid channel including a nozzle;
• a receiver;
• and
• a recovery channel connecting the receiver and the liquid channel,
• the program, when executed by the controller, causing the liquid ejecting apparatus to perform:
• a recovering process of feeding a liquid from the receiver to the liquid channel via the recovery channel;
• a first determining process of determining whether a first condition is satisfied, the first condition representing a first increase of a liquid feeding time required to feed a predetermined amount of liquid to the liquid channel via the recovery channel;
• and
• a recording process of recording an image on a recording medium by causing the head to eject liquid from the nozzle to the recording medium, and
• wherein, in response to determining in the first determining process that the first condition is satisfied, the controller causes the liquid ejecting apparatus to perform, in the recording process, at least one of:
• first control in which a recording time with respect to a unit area of the recording medium is longer than a recording time with respect to the unit area of a case where the controller determines in the first determining process that the first condition is not satisfied, or
• second control in which an ejection amount of liquid with respect to the unit area of the recording medium is less than an ejection amount of a case where the controller determines in the first determining process that the first condition is not satisfied.
