摘要： A method of exchanging a waste ink pack that stores waste ink discharged by repeated ink clearing operations performed on an ink jet head involves comparing a cumulative number of times the ink clearing operation have been performed using a particular waste ink pack with upper limit data based on the capacity of the waste ink pack. When the cumulative number reaches the upper limit data, an indication is provided that the waste ink pack should be exchanged for a new one, after which exchange a previous instruction to a recovery device to perform an ink clearing operation is performed. Ink clearing operations are then repeated with that waste ink pack until the number of such operations again reaches the upper limit data.

摘要： An ink jet recording apparatus and method for forming an image including a text region and a halftone region. The text region contains at least a part of a character and/or a thin line thinner than a predetermined thickness, and the halftone region contains a dot image on a recording medium. An image is formed by ejecting ink from recording heads in response to an input signal. The apparatus or method identifies the text region and the halftone region of an image on the basis of the input signal, expels black ink onto a recording area on the recording medium so as to form at least a part of the text region in a first scanning of the recording heads, expels a plurality of inks including the black ink onto the recording area so as to form at least a part of the text and the halftone regions in a second scanning, and repeating the first scanning and the second scanning on the next recording area after incrementing the recording medium.
