An image recording apparatus, including: a first head for ejecting first liquid for recording; a second head for ejecting second liquid; and a controller. The controller selects, based on the image data, one of waveforms for ejecting the first liquid for each pixel and supplies, to the first-liquid ejection head, a drive signal based on the selected waveform. The controller selects, based on the image data, one of the of waveforms for ejecting the second liquid for each pixel and supplies, to the second-liquid ejection head, a drive signal based on the selected waveform. The controller determines whether recording of a test pattern using the second liquid is required, and when the recording of the test pattern using the second liquid is required, selects the waveform such that the first liquid is not ejected.

An image recording apparatus improves the operating efficiency while preventing trouble due to the contact of a recording medium with a discharging surface of a recording head. A distance sensor for detecting the distance of the leading edge of a sheet from a conveying surface is provided upstream from the inkjet head in the conveying direction of the sheet. A gap control unit controls a frame moving mechanism to move the inkjet head up so that a gap between the discharging surface and the conveying surface increases when the distance detected by the distance sensor is above a first distance, and the gap distance may be increased by different amounts depending on the distance detected by the distance sensor. A discharging control unit controls the inkjet head to discharge ink droplets after the gap is increased.

A temperature detector of the present invention includes a temperature sensor, a reference signal generation circuit, a level memory which rewritably stores therein a first signal level and a second signal level, a control circuit which controls the reference signal generation circuit so as to make a level of the reference signal change from the first signal level to the second signal level, a comparator circuit which compares the level of the reference signal and a level of the output signal, and a level rewriter which rewrites at least either one of the first signal level and the second signal level. When the level of the reference signal reaches the level of the output signal, the control circuit generates a detected temperature signal, and controls the level rewriter so as to change a range where a level of the reference signal changes.

A waveform signal output circuit selectively outputs, to an ejection energy applier, either one of a first waveform signal so as to make an ink droplet ejected from a nozzle and a second waveform signal so as not to make an ink droplet ejected from the nozzle. A continuous non-ejection counter counts a continuous non-ejection number. A ejection history memory stores therein an ejection history. A non-ejection frequency detector detects a non-ejection frequency. A thickening degree determiner determines a thickening degree of ink in the nozzle. A waveform signal selector makes the waveform signal output circuit output the second waveform signal to the ejection energy applier when an ink droplet is not ejected in the current printing cycle and in addition a thickening degree is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

An inkjet recording apparatus forms an image based on print data in which a gradation level is selected from a plurality of gradation levels with respect to each pixel. The ink-jet recording apparatus includes an ink-jet head including a plurality of nozzles that eject ink therefrom, a plurality of pressure chambers, each of which communicates with a corresponding one nozzle of the plurality of nozzles, and an actuator that allows the plurality of nozzles to eject ink thereform by applying pressure to ink stored in the plurality of the pressure chambers based on pulse train signals. The actuator is capable of allowing the plurality of nozzles to eject different amounts of ink based on the pulse train signals having different waveform patterns. The ink-jet recording apparatus further includes a waveform storage unit that stores a plurality of waveform patterns corresponding to the different amounts of ink to be ejected from the nozzles, a table storage unit that is provided with respect to each nozzle group including at least one of the plurality of nozzles and stores a correspondence table in which one of the plurality of waveform patterns stored in the waveform storage unit is independently selected and brought into correspondence with respect to each of the plurality of a gradation levels, and a signal generation unit that generates the pulse train signals having the respective waveform patterns, based on the correspondence table stored in each of the table storage units, so that ink is ejected from each of the nozzles with a volume in accordance with the waveform pattern assigned to each the gradation level.

In an inverter control apparatus including a pulse width modulation inverter supplied with power from a d.c. power source to generate an a.c. output, a frequency control unit controlling the output frequency of the inverter, and a voltage control unit controlling the output voltage of the inverter, a frequency adjusting unit is provided to adjust the operating frequency of the inverter so that the product of voltage and time in each positive half cycle of the output voltage of the inverter becomes equal to that in the next adjacent negative half cycle of the output voltage of the inverter. When the inverter is used in an apparatus for controlling an induction motor, the frequency adjusting unit adjusts the output frequency of the inverter according to the result of detection of a ripple factor of an input voltage of the inverter, and a frequency adjusting-factor correcting unit corrects the frequency adjusting factor of the frequency adjusting unit according to at least one of the output of an induction-motor rotation frequency detector and the output of the voltage control unit.
