There is provided a liquid droplet jetting apparatus, including: a liquid droplet jetting head in which a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of individual channels are formed; a purge mechanism; a judgment mechanism which judges whether or not a defective nozzle in which a jetting failure occurs is included in purge target nozzles; a heating mechanism which heats a liquid in the plurality of individual channels; and a controller which controls the purge mechanism and the heating mechanism. In a case that the judgment mechanism judges that the defective nozzle is included in the purge target nozzles, the controller controls the heating mechanism and the purge mechanism to heat the liquid in a part of the plurality of individual channels, which include an individual channel communicating with the defective nozzle, and to execute the purge operation for the purge target nozzles.

A liquid jetting apparatus includes: a channel unit formed with a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of liquid channels communicating with the nozzles; an actuator including a plurality of drive sections, which are provided to correspond to the nozzles, include a plurality of connecting terminals, and are configured to apply jetting energy to a liquid in the liquid channels; and a flexible wiring member including a plurality of connecting portions joined to the plurality of connecting terminals of the actuator and a plurality of wires connected to the connecting portions. The wiring member includes a protrusion formed by bending a portion, different from a portion formed with the connecting portions, at which at least a part of the wires are formed, to project toward a side opposite to a connecting surface for connecting with the actuator.

To provide a sheet conveying technique that can realize highly accurate skew correction with an inexpensive and simple apparatus configuration. A sheet conveying apparatus includes: first and second rollers that are arranged in positions different from each other in a direction orthogonal to a sheet conveying direction and can be driven to rotate independently from each other; a first skew detecting unit that is arranged on an upstream side or a downstream side of the first and second rollers in the sheet conveying direction and detects skew of a sheet at first skew detection accuracy; and a second skew detecting unit that is arranged further on the downstream side than the first skew detecting unit in the sheet conveying direction and detects skew of the sheet at second skew detection accuracy higher than the first skew detection accuracy. A skew amount of the sheet is determined on the basis of detection results of the respective first and second skew detecting units. To reduce the determined skew amount, the first and second rollers are driven to rotate independently from each other and convey the sheet.
