Abstract

Inspection processing is performed. The inspection processing includes a first driving step of driving a piezoelectric element corresponding to an inspection target nozzle, a first detection step of detecting vibration that is generated in ink in a pressure chamber corresponding to the inspection target nozzle by the driving in the first driving step, a second driving step of driving together the piezoelectric element corresponding to the inspection target nozzle and a piezoelectric element corresponding to at least one nozzle of nozzles adjacent to the inspection target nozzle, and a second detection step of detecting vibration that is generated in the ink in the pressure chamber corresponding to the inspection target nozzle by the driving in the second driving step.
