A head driving device (31) drives a liquid ejection head (3, 14). The liquid ejection head (3, 14) includes a plurality of nozzles (104) and a plurality of pressure generating devices (112) provided respectively corresponding to the nozzles (104). The head driving device (31) includes a driving-waveform correcting unit (38) configured to correct driving waveform data that defines ejection characteristics of liquid to be ejected from the nozzle (104) based on interference patterns (FP1 to FP4, Xpl to XP6) expressing variations in the ejection characteristics caused by an interference occurring in the nozzle (104).

A pixel clock generator includes a frequency divider 4 that generates a pixel clock PCLK based on a high frequency clock VCLK, a comparator 5 that calculates an error Lerr in the time obtained by integrating a cycle of the pixel clock PCLK for a target number RefN from a time when synchronization signals SPSYNC and EPSYNC are detected, a filter 6, and a frequency calculating unit 7 that sets a frequency dividing value M of the frequency divider 4. The filter 6 and the frequency calculating unit 7 calculate an average of a frequency of the pixel clock PCLK based on the error Lerr, determine a reference error value from the error Lerr in N-cycles, calculate offset values of the frequencies of N pieces of pixel clocks PCLK based on a difference between the reference error value and the error Lerr, and calculate the frequency dividing value M based on a result obtained by adding the circularly selected offset values and the average of the frequency of the pixel clock PCLK.

In a method of transforming a recording power level into multi-levels by using an extra recording power level, the optimum value of each recording power level is obtained, thereby achieving recording with good accuracy. By including a first test writing step (S1-S3) of performing test writing of predetermined first test data while varying the recording power in stages, and calculating an optimum recording power from the reproduction signal, and a second test writing step (S4-S6) of setting the recording power to the calculated optimum recording power and performing test writing of predetermined second test data while varying in stages the extra recording power applied in a part of a time period in which the optimum recording power is applied, and calculating an optimum extra recording power from the reproduction signal, the recording power and the extra recording power are separately calculated by test writing, and with which information is recorded, hence, it is possible to form the shape of a recording mark and the mark position with good accuracy, and recording can be performed with good accuracy.

[Problem to be Solved] Accurate recording is achieved by obtaining each optimum pulse width and pulse edge position in a recording method that performs recording according to the rules of recording waveform using different pulse widths and pulse edge positions for individual data length sets with respect to the data length sets having the different relationship between the number of pulses and the data length. [Means for Solving the Problem] The first trial write process obtains an optimum recording power of a test pattern (S1 through S3) even with respect to data having different rules for the recording waveforms corresponding n type data length sets, and the second trial write process using this optimum recording power obtains optimum pulse width or optimum pulse edge position separately for each data length set (S4 through S6). Based on the optimum recording power and optimum recording waveform obtained by these trial write processes, recording operation is performed so as to form all the data lengths with satisfactory accuracy, thereby making it possible to obtain a proper reproduced signal.
