Inkjet recording device and method for controlling inkjet recording device

Abstract

An operation of an inkjet recording device is performed without performing operations, such as interruption of an ink circulation process in an idle state and resetting, in a state in which execution of the ink circulation process is maintained. Ink is supplied to a nozzle to perform printing on a printing target. An idle-mode ink circulation process circulates ink in an idle state, the idle-mode ink circulation process repeating the circulation of the ink in a path, and a standby state at a predetermined time interval. An operation display unit displays a standby screen for the idle-mode ink circulation process and displays information for operating the inkjet recording device on the standby screen in a state in which execution of the idle-mode ink circulation process is maintained. The inkjet recording device receives an operation of the inkjet recording device based on the information displayed on the standby screen.
