Abstract: In an ink jet recording apparatus having two head units, each having a large number of ink nozzles arranged in a line, assembled so that they overlap with each other, an 8-shade image signal is entered into a correction circuit and a line direction position signal is input into a position signal decision circuit. When the position signal decision circuit decides that the position signal represents the overlapping zone of the head units, the shade level of the image signal is divided between the head units. For example, when the shade level of the image signal is 7, one of the head units is allotted the shade level and the other is allotted the shade level. The overlapping nozzles in a pair eject droplets of ink to form one dot.

Abstract: An ink jet head is provided having ink chambers, energy-generating elements provided in the ink chambers, respectively, and ink outlet ports communicating with the ink chambers, respectively. The ink jet head may be left unused for a time longer than a predetermined time, with a meniscus formed in each ink outlet port. In this case, a drive pulse is applied to each energy-generating element several times, thereby forcing the ink outwards from the ink outlet ports and increasing a surface area of the ink from a surface area of the meniscus. Then, a negative pressure is applied in each ink chamber, thereby drawing the ink back toward the ink chambers, thus forming a meniscus again in the ink outlet ports. In this condition, a drive pulse is applied to the energy-generating elements, thus ejecting an ink droplet from the ink outlet ports to record data.

Abstract: In accordance with the dither matrix position signal from the dither matrix position signal generating unit, the dither matrix circuits supply respectively corresponding threshold signals to the selector. When the pixel of interest of the input image signal corresponds to two ink outlet ports at each end portion of the head units to be corrected, the selector selects the threshold signal from the end portion dither matrix circuit that is set for the end area, in accordance with the dither matrix selection signal from the dither matrix selection signal generating unit. Therefore, the comparator compares the input image signal with the threshold signal from the end portion dither matrix circuit and converts it into an N-valued signal.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for carrying out a kind of trimming operation in electrophotography, wherein a control light of an image region is irradiated onto a photosensitive body through masking members to thereby eliminate electric charge on the photosensitive body and to control the forming region of an electrostatic latent image. The masking members, in their single form, permit the light to pass therethrough, and intercept the same in their overlapped form, polarizing plates being used for the masking members. The latent image formation in the breadthwise direction of the image original is controlled by an overlapping degree of the masking members. The electrostatic latent image formation in the direction perpendicular to the breadthwise direction of the image is controlled by moving the masking members in their overlapped state in synchronism with movement of the photosensitive body, across the light path of the control light in the image region. By these operations, only a desired image region can be reproduced from the image original.

Abstract: In general, according to one embodiment, an inkjet recording apparatus includes an inkjet head, a conveyance motor, a discharge motor, a printing medium surface sensor and a controller. The inkjet head ejects ink on a printing medium. The discharge motor causes discharge of the printing medium. The printing medium surface sensor, locates at the upper-stream side of the inkjet head apart from the inkjet head in a printing medium conveyance direction, senses a foreign substance representing an image printed on the printing medium beforehand. The controller drives the discharge motor to discharge a printing medium without ejecting ink from the inkjet head if an after-printing mode in which printing is made on the printing medium on which the image is printed beforehand is not set if the foreign substance is detected on the printing medium through the printing medium surface sensor.
