Abstract:
Provided are: an inkjet printer with which it is possible to suppress adhesion of minute amounts of ink to a nozzle surface, and to suitably prevent printing defects; and a method for controlling a jetting head. The present invention comprises: a jetting head 3 that jets an ink from a plurality of nozzle holes 33 formed in a nozzle surface 31; a cap 11 that can be mounted on the nozzle surface 31 of the jetting head 3; a head movement mechanism 5 that causes the jetting head 3 to move between a standby position P2 where the cap 11 can be attached/detached and a printing position P1 where printing is carried out by acquiring print data; and a flushing control unit 23 that, when the jetting head 3 has moved to the standby position P2, executes, sequentially for groups into which the plurality of nozzle holes 33 are grouped in advance, a flushing operation for jetting the ink into the cap 11 from each of the plurality of nozzle holes 33 belonging to the groups.
