A liquid ejection apparatus includes a pressure sensor and a determining unit. The pressure sensor is configured to detect a pressure in an ink supply path for use in supplying ink from an ink tank to a recording head. The determining unit determines whether the ink supply path is anomalous based on a result of detection of the pressure in the ink supply path by the pressure sensor performed in response to application of a fluctuating pressure to the ink in the ink tank.

A recording apparatus includes a feed roller which feeds a paper sheet, a feed motor which drives the feed roller, and a loss-of-synchronism detecting unit which detects loss of synchronism of the feed motor. When loss of synchronism of the feed motor is detected by the loss-of-synchronism detecting unit, the rotational speed of the feed motor is reduced stepwise. Accordingly, it is not necessary to provide a high operational margin in the motor, and a recording apparatus, in which the motor and power supply costs are reduced, can be provided.

A sheet feeding device and an image forming apparatus provided with the same, has a sheet mounting part for mounting sheets, a sheets feeding part for sending out the sheets mounted on the sheet mounting part, a separator for separating the sheets one by one, and a first separating member disposed on the sheet mounting part. A cleaning mode is provided in which while the sheet feeding part is abutted against the first separating member, it is rotated for a predetermined number of revolutions so as to clean the surface of the sheet feeding part.

An area on the printing sheet which can be printed through a single scanning operation of a printing head is divided into a plurality of smaller areas. The printing sheet is transported a distance corresponding to each divided area to print the image using different nozzles of the printing head for each divided area. When a back end portion of the printing sheet is printed, the distance transported is reduced to set inoperative nozzles that are not used for the printing operation. Then, when the printing sheet slips out from the upstream roller pair and it is then detected that the printing sheet is to be transported a distance longer than predetermined amount of rotation of the roller, the inoperative nozzles are used to shift an operative nozzle range depending on the extra amount of rotation. Thus, the extra transportation of the printing sheet is corrected.

A deep groove ball bearing has an inner ring, an outer ring and a plurality of balls located between the inner ring and the outer ring. A profile deformation quantity of a raceway groove of the inner ring and a profile deformation quantity of the outer ring are limited to values at which the maximum surface pressure values of them are each 1.6 GPa or smaller.

A flow control valve having a seating surface formed on a valve element to contact a valve seat when the valve is closed has a shape of a part of a hypothetical spherical surface having a spherical center at a center of a supporting member. Therefore, the distance from the center of the supporting member to the seating surface is kept constant, and the valve element can be seated at a periphery of the valve seat without a gap, even if the shaft is inclined. Thus, the valve leakage is reduced. The supporting member supports a shaft connected to the valve element movable in an axial direction of the shaft. The center of the supporting member is aligned with a center of the valve seat. Movement of the supporting member in a radial direction of the supporting member is prohibited. Therefore, the center of the supporting member is not displaced from the center of the valve seat in the radial direction. Accordingly, the displacement of the shaft in the radial direction can be prevented. Therefore, the valve element is certainly seated on the valve seat, and the valve leakage is prevented.

A printing apparatus which can detect remaining ink with high precision regardless of trembles of ink surface in an ink tank caused by various factors such as scanning speed of a carriage, scanning width, impact of the carriage at the time of reversing the carriage scanning direction and the like, and can perform printing by efficiently utilizing the remaining ink, and a facsimile apparatus using the above printing apparatus. According to the apparatus, when a CPU controls print operation, the CPU dynamically changes the threshold value as a determination reference, utilized to detect remaining ink on the basis of an output current of a reflection type photosensor, in accordance with the scanning speed of carriage movement, the scanning width, and the stop period for reversing the scanning direction.
