An image pickup system is provided wherein an illumining device illumines an object from above on its front side. When an image of the object is to be picked up, a moving device moves the position of the image pickup device relative to the object so as to easily pickup the image of the object. To this end, a commodity as an object is placed within an image pickup box. An image of the commodity is picked up by a camera placed outside the box. In this case, the commodity is illumined by the illumining device from above on its front side. The camera and the commodity are moved relative to each other. Thus, illumination blurs are reduced and a clear image is easily picked up.

A recording head has a subtank. The amount of ink remaining within the subtank is detected or calculated by a device, and the amount of ink necessary for an image of at least one recording sheet is calculated by another device. The two amounts of ink are compared. If it is determined that the ink remaining within the subtank is smaller, the recording head is moved to an ink replenishing mechanism provided outside of a printing range of a recording apparatus. The subtank mounted in the recording head is connected to the ink replenishing mechanism, and ink is supplied from the main tank. Ink replenishment is executed by a system for supplying ink using a pressurizing device or a negative-pressure device. By executing an operation of wiping ink adhering to a nozzle portion of the recording head and preliminary discharge not relating to printing after a recovery operation for the recording head, it is possible to realize stable ink discharge and obtain a high-quality image.

An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a carriage movable in a given direction with a recording head which is detachably mountable on it and provided with discharge ports for discharging liquid. The apparatus is arranged to include a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the carriage, the recording head, and at least one of the ink containers. This sensor is provided for the main body of the apparatus and positioned within the movable range of the carriage. With this arrangement, it is possible to simplify the structure required for detecting whether or not these vital elements for recording are installed without any auxiliary power-supply or memory means.

Whether or not a color image is present adjacent to a black image is discriminated. Whether the black image is formed using a black ink or a plurality of color inks C, M, and Y is determined in accordance with the discrimination result. When the black image is formed using the plurality of color inks, it is recorded using a repetitive pattern of two of C, M, and Y so as to prevent blurring with the color image, and to improve fixing characteristics by decreasing the total ejection amount.

A liquid-discharge recording apparatus such as an ink-jet printer comprises: a liquid-discharge recording unit having an emission energy generating device including an electrothermal energy converting device which can heat a recording liquid such as an ink to form liquid droplets in response to an electrical signal, in which this recording unit emits the liquid droplets and deposits them on a recording paper and thereby recording thereon; a recording unit control circuit which can set and supplies the electrical signal to form the liquid droplets to the emission energy generating device in response to a recording signal; and an emission controller for setting the electrical signal to form the liquid droplets to the recording unit control circuit when a power supply is turned on, thereby allowing the recording unit to emit the liquid droplets in accordance with an environmental condition such as a temperature of the recording liquid. With this dedicated emission controller, the proper emission condition is set and the preheating processes and preliminary emitting processes are executed prior to starting the printing after the turn-on of the power supply of the printer, so that the printing state can be promptly and easily optimized by a simple software.

It is an object of the present invention to apply a liquid uniformly on a to-be-coated area of an object subjected to liquid coating. A delivery unit which delivers the liquid on the to-be-coated area of the object subjected to liquid coating comprises a main body filled with the liquid and a nozzle plate which is provided at one end side of the main body and which is provided with a delivery path for delivering the liquid. The axial line of the delivery path is inclined relative to a vertical axis toward an opposite side of a travelling direction in which the delivery unit travels relative to the to-be-coated area.

The apparatus manufactures a light emitting device provided with a plurality of light emitting elements arranged on a substrate. The apparatus comprises: a rotating plate cylinder provided with a flexographic plate for printing ink that forms an organic layer of the light emitting elements on the substrate; an intermediate transfer member that contacts the flexographic plate to transfer the ink; a head unit that supplies the ink to the intermediate transfer member; a storage unit that stores as an ink replenishment pattern a region in which the ink is removed from the intermediate transfer member by the transfer of the ink from the intermediate transfer member to the flexographic plate; and a control unit that supplies the ink from the head unit to the region of the ink replenishment pattern on a surface of the intermediate transfer member.

A light-emitting head of a printing apparatus includes luminescent elements on a substrate. Each of the luminescent elements includes micro-light-emitting portions. A direction of a perpendicular bisector of a straight line joining centers of each micro-light-emitting portion of each luminescent element and another micro-light-emitting portion of the same luminescent element which is nearest to the each micro-light-emitting portion is off a luminescent element adjacent to the luminescent element.
