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.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for forming an image on a recording medium, and a measurement unit which measures the density of the image formed on the recording medium. A control unit determines an operation condition of the image forming unit on the basis of the measurement result from the measurement unit. A storage unit stores the operation condition determined by the control unit, and a display unit reads out the operation condition at a predetermined time for display. The control means controls a subsequent operation of the image forming apparatus according to the stored operation condition.

An ink jet recording apparatus with plural full-line type recording heads has a heat pipe associated with each recording head. The heat pipes are connected together at a common portion in various ways, such as by a heat-conductive block, one or more additional heat pipes or a container with a heat transferring liquid medium. Such an arrangement enables more efficient and compact temperature control of the recording heads.

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.

A thermal head is provided with a plurality of juxtaposed heat generating resistors for applying heat to heat sensitive printing medium for reproducing a picture. The resistance values of the heat generating resistors are individually detected at predetermined times and used to update the contents of a memory means. An arithmetic operating circuit calculates quantities of electric power to be supplied to respective heat generating resistors for causing them to generate the same quantity of heat irrespective of the difference in the resistance values of the heat generating resistors.
摘要:
A thermal head drive circuit with the input connected to a source of printing data and the output connected to a thermal head including heater elements, so as to improve the picture quality of a thermal head recording apparatus for printing successive lines. Improved picture quality is effected by using data from previously printed lines to compute a corrected pulse energy for the line being printed. The circuit uses a heat storage state operator for operating the heat storage state of each of the heater elements constituting a thermal head, a pulse energy operator for computing a printing pulse energy to be applied to each of the heater elements, a memory for storing the electrical pulse energy used in the previously printed line, and a counter to count the number of dots on the line to be printed. The pulse energy operator uses data from the heat storage state operator, the counter, and from the memory which has data on the pulse energy used in previously printed lines. The output of the pulse energy operator is connected to a pulse generator which is used to drive the heater elements of a thermal head.
