An ink jet recorder comprises a first tank as an ink supply source, a second tank as an ink supply source for the first tank, and three switching means and a pump arranged in an ink supply path. By controlling the open/close states of the switching means and operation condition of the pump, a print mode, supply mode, pressure mode, circulation mode or store mode can be selectively established.
