摘要:
Prior to printing, ink drops are ejected from an ink ejection head or nozzle (28) and an amount of deflection is sweepingly varied until the ink drops hit a target (57), thereby providing a reference which compensates for variations in an amount of charge of the ink drops, a mass of the ink drops, a deflection voltage and an ink drop velocity.

In an ink jet recording apparatus including a carriage operative to move in scanning motion for printing characters and symbols on a printing surface and supporting thereon a single printing head having a plurality of ink jet nozzles or a plurality of printing heads each having a single ink jet nozzle, the printing surface is formed as a curved surface and the printing head or heads are constructed such that ink can be ejected radially with respect to the center of curvature of the curved printing surface. The vertical spacing between dots formed by ejected ink can be adjusted by moving the printing head or heads relative to the printing surface to thereby adjust the spacing between the printing surface and the printing head or heads, and the transverse spacing between the dots can be adjusted by adjusting the scanning speed of the printing head or heads or the ink ejecting timing.

Ink is fed to an ink jet printing head (12) from which it is ejected into a sheet of printing paper (19). A plurality of capacitive ultrasonic vibrators (29), (31) are provided inside the printing head (12) to atomize ink therein prior to ejection. The ultrasonic vibrators (29), (31) are connected in parallel with each other and also to an inductor (48) to constitute a resonant circuit. An electrical drive signal is applied to the resonant circuit, the frequency of the drive signal being equal to the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit.

A charging phase control device for an ink jet recording device wherein the ink droplets are positively or negatively charged in the recording mode. In the charging phase detection mode an ink droplet charging electrode is so energized that more than two successive ink droplets may be negatively or positively charged and one or more ink droplets which immediately follow said more than two successive, negatively or positively charged ink droplets may be uncharged or positively or negatively charged. The negatively or positively charged ink droplets repel each other and attract the uncharged or positively or negatively charged ink droplets so that they coalesce into large ink droplets. Therefore the distance between an ink head and an ink droplet detection means may be reduced, the ink jet recording or printing device may be made compact in size and light in weight; and ink droplet charging phase may be detected and controlled with a higher degree of accuracy.

An image forming apparatus comprises a toner-bearing member that bears toner and makes the toner clouded thereon. A toner passage control device including plural widthwise lines of toner passage holes in a printing medium conveyance direction is provided. Each of the toner passage holes includes a control electrode that controls passage of the toner through each of the toner passage holes toward a printing medium. a control pulse proving device provides a control pulse to the control electrode to operate. The control pulse applied to the control electrode of the one of the plural lines is different from that applied to the control electrode of the other one of the plural lines.

A developing device including a latent image supporter. Powder is adhered on the latent image supporter to develop a latent image on the latent image supporter and a transporting member is arranged opposite to the latent image supporter. A plurality of electrodes are formed in the transporting member for generating a traveling-wave electric field to move the powder, and n-phase voltages are applied to the electrodes of the transporting member to form an electric field in a first direction so that the powder moves towards the latent image supporter at an image portion of the latent image and in a second direction so that the powder moves in a direction opposite to the latent image supporter at a non-image portion of the latent image.
