An ink jet type recording apparatus is disclosed which includes a main tank containing recording liquid, a subsidiary tank receiving a supply of recording liquid from the main tank through a supply line, a recording head to which the recording liquid is fed from the subsidiary tank through a feeding pipe and a carriage carrying thereon the subsidiary tank and recording head. The recording liquid is supplied to the subsidiary tank from the main tank by a pumping pressure produced in the supply line when the carriage is running. The supply line is fixed at an optionally selected point in such manner than the segment of the supply line extending from the selected point to the subsidiary tank may swing move above the fixed point describing a circular arc in accordance with the running of the carriage.
摘要:
A system using an ink jet recording head for scanning between a recording area and a non-recording area and for discharging ink to record an image on a recording medium at the recording area. The system includes wiping a discharge surface of the ink jet recording head, preliminarily discharging ink from the recording head after wiping, and performing normal recording in response to a recording signal without wiping the discharge surface of the ink jet recording head after the preliminary discharge.
摘要:
A recovery process for an ink jet recording head of a recording apparatus and a device for performing the recovery process are disclosed. The ink jet recording apparatus includes a recording head with a plurality of discharge ports and a liquid chamber common to the discharge ports. The liquid chamber is supplied with ink through an ink supply path from an ink tank. The recovery device includes a device for introducing air into the liquid chamber of the recording head, a cap unit for covering the discharge ports of the recording head, and a pumping device for applying suction to the cap unit to suck the introduced air and ink through the discharge ports.
摘要:
A container for an ink jet head having a discharge opening therein includes an openable containing member for containing the ink jet head and permitting removal of the ink jet head when opened, and a discharge recovery member for discharging ink from the discharge opening of the ink jet head in response to removing the ink jet head from the container, in response to opening the openable containing member, or in response to pressing against a wall of the container member.
摘要:
A method of cleaning an ink jet recording head uses a flexible blade that is moved forwardly and backwardly in response to the capping operation of the front surface of the recording head and the movement of a carriage, and the front surface of the recording head is wiped by the blade in response to the movement of the carriage. An ink jet recording apparatus has a recording head disposed on a carriage, cap means for covering the front surface of the recording head and a blade for cleaning the front surface of the recording head, characterized by blade moving means for moving the blade forward or backward in the direction of the recording head by movement of the cap means and movement of the carriage.
