    摘要: An ink jet recording apparatus includes: a container to store ink; a detector to detect a remaining ink amount; a liquid feeding unit to supply the ink to the container; an energy generation unit to cause the ink to be discharged; a storage unit to store correspondence information in which driving information for driving the energy generation unit is associated with each piece of time information indicating a supply time taken to supply the ink; and a setting unit to set new driving information using the correspondence information when an actual supply time is different from the supply time indicated by the time information associated with current driving information among the pieces of time information. The actual supply time indicates a time period from when the liquid feeding unit starts supplying the ink until the detector detects that the remaining ink amount is equal to or higher than a threshold.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a belt member, a reflection-type photosensor, and a reflection member. The belt member includes plural suction holes to attract a printing medium onto the belt member. The reflection member reflects light from the reflection-type photosensor through the suction holes. The reflection member is disposed inside the belt member. The reflection member has a reflection rate at which, when the reflection-type photosensor receives reflection light at positions of the suction holes with a transparent printing medium being not present on the belt member, a sensor output of the reflection-type photosensor is lower than a predetermined reference value, and when the reflection-type photosensor receives reflection light at the positions of the suction holes with the transparent printing medium being present on the belt member, a sensor output of the reflection-type photosensor is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference value.
