摘要:
An ink jet recording head includes a plurality of recording element substrates, a supply port, a supporting member for supporting the recording element substrates, an electric contact substrate fixed to the supporting member, and an electric wiring tape connected to the recording element substrates and to the electric contact substrate. The electric contact substrate has a plurality of input terminals that are electrically connected to recording elements of the recording element substrates via the electric wiring tape, and are also electrically connected to terminals of a recording apparatus body. The electric contact substrate is wider than the electric wiring tape. If m equals the maximum number of input terminals arranged in the lateral direction on the electric contact substrate, and n equals the maximum number of input terminals arranged in the longitudinal direction on the electric contact substrate, then m>n.
摘要:
In an ink jet recording apparatus in which a filter is placed in an ink supply route, when an ink flow is formed in the ink supply route by ink ejection during recording operations and so on, a valve does not contact firmly to the filter, but when an ejection recovery operation is performed and an ink flow velocity increases, the valve contacts firmly to the filter and covers up a part of the filter. With this structure and operation, the effective cross-section area of the filter decreases and hence, a given quantity of pressure difference is produced between the upstream side and the downstream side of the filter. As a result, bubbles unable to pass through the filter at recording operations can pass through the filter when ejection recovery operations are performed.
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.
