    摘要: Although a conventional method of inspecting an ink discharge state in which the temperature change of the heater is detected enables accurate and high-speed inspection, due to the situation in which the inspection was performed, appropriate post-processing depending on the situation cannot be executed based on a result of the inspection. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the ink discharge state in detail. A plurality of modes are provided in accordance with the purpose of performing an inspection of the ink discharge state, and a discharge inspection threshold is provided for each of these modes. By selectively executing or continuously executing these modes, it is possible to determine the ink discharge state in more detail.

    摘要: A printing apparatus using a printhead that includes an inspection circuit for inspecting an ink discharge status for each nozzle performs an inspection processing. The apparatus selects a nozzle as a target of inspection of the ink discharge status, sets a threshold value for inspecting a detection result of a temperature detection element corresponding to the selected nozzle, and uses the inspection circuit and the set threshold value. The apparatus receives, from the printhead, an inspection result for the selected nozzle, determines, based on the received inspection result, a threshold value to be used by the inspection circuit for inspecting the discharge status of the selected nozzle in a subsequent inspection, and stores the determined threshold value in a memory.

    摘要: A printing apparatus, which uses a printhead including a circuit configured to inspect an ink discharge status of a selected nozzle using a temperature detection element, causes the printhead to inspect the ink discharge status by changing a threshold value for judging a detection result of the temperature detection element, in order to judge the ink discharge status in a state in which a heater in the selected nozzle is driven by each of a first pulse and a second pulse whose waveform is different from that of the first pulse, obtains first information about a change point where a judgment result obtained by the first pulse changes, and second information about a change point where a judgment result obtained by the second pulse changes, and sets the threshold value, based on the first and second information.

    摘要: A recording apparatus includes a recording head that includes a plurality of recording devices containing ink, first and second heating devices, and first and second detection devices. The recording devices each generate energy for ejection of the ink, the first and second heating devices respectively heat the ink in a vicinity of recording devices located at first and second positions of the recording devices, and the first and second detection devices respectively detect temperatures in the vicinity of the recording devices located at the first and second positions. The recording apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information relating to a representative temperature of the temperatures detected by the first and second detection devices, and a decision unit configured to decide an upper limit of driving power of each of the first and second heating devices.
