2-2. Moisturizing Timer Sequence

If the top cover is opened for a long time, the print head is left uncapped and pre-printing ink ejection is not performed for that duration. After
that, ink may not be ejected at start of printing or at pre-printing ink ejection operation.
To prevent the print head nozzles from getting dried, each opening of the top cover is counted as well as its duration, and capping or purging is
performed according to the counted value to moisturize the nozzles.
During the capping operation, the message is displayed on the monitor indicating printer maintenance is being performed.
The moisturizing timer calculates a total amount of the following:
(1) A period of time the print head moves from the standby position to the print head replacement position.
(2) A period of time the print head stays in the print head replacement position.
(3) A period of time the print head returns from the print head replacement position to the standby position.
