摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus performing recording by discharging ink onto a recording medium is provided with a conveying belt for conveying the recording medium by the attraction of static electricity, an electrode provided to be in contact with the recording medium conveyed by the conveying belt, and a power source capable of charging the electrode with the charge which has the polarity opposite to the charge carried by the conveying belt. The main droplet and satellite split from the ink droplet are impacted on the recording medium to prevent the adhesion of the satellite to the discharging port of the discharging surface of the recording head, thus maintaining desirable recording for a long time.

A temperature control device comprises a first heat exchange unit, for exchanging heat, which is thermally joined with a recording head for recording onto a recording medium by the use of heat energy, a second heat exchange unit for exchanging heat with the atmosphere, which is connected to the first heat exchange unit, working fluid contained within the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit, and a partition plate for almost separating the interior of the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit into a working fluid existing region and a vapor existing region where the working fluid and its vapor component exist together.
摘要:
In an image recording apparatus having a recording head, recording may be interrupted (for example, to permit transfer of new image data after a predetermined amount of recording is performed). Recording quality is maintained by compensating for the change in head temperature which occurs during the interruption. This is done by detecting the temperature of the recording head and/or counting the interruption time, and driving the recording head in a stand-by mode or correcting the image signal in accordance with the temperature difference between interruption and resumption of recording.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus has a stand-by mode in which a recording operation is interrupted during recording for stand-by. The apparatus includes a recording head for recording on a recording medium, a head temperature detecting device for detecting the temperature of the recording head, a memory device for storing temperature information detected by the head temperature detecting device when recording in the stand-by mode is interrupted, a stand-by time counting device for counting an interruption time for recording operation in the stand-by mode, and a head driving controlling device for transmitting a driving signal to the recording head. The controlling device is responsive to a temperature stored in the temperature memory device and an interruption time calculated by the stand-by time counting device on resumption of a recording operation after it is interrupted and the apparatus is placed in the stand-by mode.
摘要:
A recording medium in the sheet form is supplied into a designated direction guided by a sheet supply roller. An ink jet recording head in which a plurality of ink jet discharging orifices are arranged is placed in parallel with a surface of the recording sheet and in the direction perpendicular to the designated direction of supplying the recorded sheet. An adjustment screw is placed for correcting a warped shape of the ink jet recording head by means of displacing a neighbor of a central portion of a longer side of the ink jet recording head in the designated direction of supplying the recording sheet.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus for recording an image by using a plurality of recording elements which are driven an accordance with an image signal includes a first correction unit for correcting driving conditions of the recording element, and a second correction unit for correcting a level of the image signal, wherein a variation in the recording elements is corrected by a combination of the first and second correction units. A driving voltage or a width of drive pulse which is applied to each recording element is controlled as a driving condition, thereby making uniform an uneven image density.

A recording apparatus includes an ink jet recording head having plural ejection outlets and thermal energy generating elements provided for the respective ejection outlets; a limiter for defining a using range of the heat generating elements in accordance with image forming conditions, a recording head driver for supplying to the heat generating elements outside the using range defined by the limiter driving signals insufficient to eject the ink and for supplying to the heat generating elements in the using range defined by the limiter a driving signal sufficient to eject the ink in accordance with an image signal.
摘要:
A color image forming apparatus includes an image signal input portion which supplies three image signals C, M and Y associated with cyan, magenta and yellow; an image signal conversion processing portion which converts the image signals C, M and Y into six image signals associated with thick C and thin C, thick M and thin M, and thick Y and thin Y, respectively, by using a thick/thin sorting table; and a color masking processing portion which performs color masking process, and outputs converted six image signals associated with thick C to thin Y. The converted six image signals undergo a black generation process, a UCR process and a black printing process, and a binarization processing thereafter. This makes it possible to produce color images of high quality with high reproducibility even if the hues of N color materials, which belong to the same color family and have different densities, such as thin cyan and thick cyan, differ from each other to some extent.
摘要:
An apparatus for transmission, reception and recording of an image, such as a facsimile apparatus, capable of correcting the unevenness in density or improper density resulting from fluctuation in the performance of the recording head of the receiving unit, with a limited amount of data transfer. At the start of communication, correction data for uneven or improper density of the recording head are sent from the receiving unit to the transmitting unit. The transmitting unit corrects the multi-value image data to be transmitted, based on the received correction data, and sends the corrected image data after conversion into binary state. The receiving unit receives the binary image data and effects image recording. The time and cost for data transmission can be reduced, as the correction is conducted at the transmitting unit and the data transmission can be made in binary data.
