摘要： An ink-jet recording apparatus having an ink-jet recording head (7, 8) including pressure generating chambers (49) communicatively connected to a nozzle opening (52) and a reservoir (50), pressure generating means (42) for pressurizing the pressure generating chambers (49), and control means for applying drive signals corresponding to print data to the recording head and for minutely vibrating meniscuses of ink in the nozzle openings to such an extent as to not eject ink droplets during a nonprint period. The control means ejects ink droplets from the nozzle openings in accordance with print data during printing operations, and minutely vibrates meniscuses of ink formed at the nozzle openings a preset period of time before or after the discharging of the ink droplets in a printing operation.

摘要： In a first preliminary filling step, ink edge is moved to a position between first and second pressure chambers (46, 57) in an ink supply passage, and the second pressure chamber (57) is filled preliminarily with the ink. In a second preliminary filling step, the ink edge is moved to a position between the first pressure chamber (46) and a nozzle (33) in the ink supply passage. Meanwhile, bubbles (62) are discharged from the second pressure chamber (57) and the first pressure chamber (46) is preliminarily filled with the ink. Finally, in the complete filling step, the supply passage is filled entirely with the ink.
