摘要:
A temperature rise of a head due to a printing operation with a higher speed and a higher density is suppressed. To realize this, an inkjet printing head is provided in which a plurality of printing element substrates having an ejection opening array consisting of a plurality of ejection openings for ejecting ink are arranged on a support plate in a direction of the ejection opening array. The support plate includes therein a heat pipe and a flow path through which cooling liquid is flowed.

There is provided an inkjet printing apparatus having a printhead equipped with printing element row that includes printing elements having a plurality of heat-producing resistance elements. The apparatus includes a temperature sensing unit which senses the temperature of the printhead, a temperature distribution storage unit in which a temperature distribution along the printing element row, a temperature gradient calculating unit which calculates the temperature gradient of the printing element row from the temperature of the printhead sensed by the temperature sensing units, a predicting unit which predicts the temperature of each printing element using the temperature gradient and the temperature distribution along the printing element row, and a control unit which applies discharge pulses, which are decided based upon the predicted temperature from the predicting unit, to each of the printing elements.

A correction optical device includes a rotating member that is disposed between a fixed member and a movable member that supports a compensation lens. By controlling rotation of the rotating member using the movable member, the movable member is locked and unlocked.
摘要:
In an ink jet recording apparatus using a recording head that discharges ink by applying thermal energy produced in response to driving a heater to ink, a change in temperature occurring when the heater is driven is measured by a temperature sensor disposed directly below the heater. A discharge state for each nozzle can be determined by determination as to whether an inflection point is present in a curve representing the change in temperature occurring after the driving for discharging ink.

In order to prevent, in an operation for circulating liquid, an ejection port from sucking air or the ejection port from pushing out liquid, the subtank for temporally storing ink to be supplied to the ink jet head includes the air communication passage opened or closed by the air communication valve. The ink jet head is communicated with the subtank by the first passage and the second passage to constitute one circulation passage. In order to circulate the ink in the subtank into the common liquid chamber, the main pump is energized while the air communication valve is being closed. When the circulation operation is stopped, the air communication valve is opened immediately after the stoppage of the main pump, thereby eliminating the differential pressure between the common liquid chamber and the subtank within a short period of time.

A cartridge auto-changer is provided containing a plurality of cartridges therein and adapted to take out any one of the cartridges to thereby effect the recording and/or reproduction of information. The cartridge auto changer includes an information recording-reproducing apparatus for effecting recording and/or reproduction of information on recording mediums contained in the cartridges, a containing shelf for containing the plurality of cartridges therein, and a conveying device for conveying the cartridges between the information recording-reproducing apparatus and the containing shelf. The conveying device includes a feed roller for conveying the cartridges from the conveying device to the information recording-reproducing apparatus, and a push lever for pushing the cartridges into the information recording-reproducing apparatus subsequently to the conveyance of the cartridges by the feed roller.
