摘要:
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit having a plurality of dot forming portions disposed in a plane, a carriage which moves incrementally in a direction normal to the plane of dot forming portions, and a laser generator mounted on the carriage. The generator has a semiconductor which radiates a laser pulse in a direction substantially perpendicular to each dot forming portion of the recording unit.

An information read-out and recording apparatus includes an optical information read-out device for converting optical information into electrical information signals. A serial-input/parallel-output shift register stores information signals from the optical information read-out device and a latch circuit stores information from the shift register for supply to a recording device. The recording device records on a recording medium in accordance with the output of the latch circuit, which parallelly stores the contents of the shift register after a predetermined number of bits of information have been serially stored in the shift register.

An information recording apparatus comprises a recording unit for recording on a recording medium and control means for controlling the recording unit to twice eject droplets to the same position on the recording medium so that the tone of the recording is emphasized. In another aspect of the disclosure, an image forming apparatus includes a storage unit for storing recording material, an image forming unit in which an image is formed without contacting the recording material and a discharge unit for discharging the recording material on which the image has been formed. A transporting mechanism transports the recording material from the storage unit, through the image forming unit to the discharge unit along a U-shaped transporting path.

This invention provides a method of and apparatus for emitting a droplet from an orifice by generating a bubble in a small liquid chamber in response to a droplet generating instruction. The method and apparatus are particularly characterized having gradual contraction of the bubble to prevent excessive recession of the orifice in the liquid chamber which recession would hinder subsequent droplet generation.For achieving the above-mentioned functions the droplet generating apparatus, or the droplet emitting head, is provided with a structure which allows effective generation and annihilation of the bubble. The present invention also provides a novel apparatus having emission heads in a staggered block arrangement for improving alignment density of the devices and elements and time-division drive circuitry.

A liquid droplet forming method is used with an apparatus that includes a liquid jet recording head having a plurality of blocks of thermal elements, each of which blocks includes a plurality of the thermal elements arranged on a substrate at a pitch of at least ten thermal elements per millimeter, with each thermal element ejecting a liquid droplet from the head upon application thereto of a drive signal pulse. Each drive signal pulse comprises a multi-part signal that includes a first part that pre-heats the liquid to an extent that a droplet is not ejected followed by a second part which heats the pre-heated liquid to an extent that a bubble is formed and a liquid droplet is ejected from the head. The plural blocks of thermal elements are driven in accordance with the generated drive signal pulses in a time-division manner such that no two blocks are driven simultaneously. In addition, the thermal elements in each block are driven in successive activation cycles by permitting time-divided application of drive signal pulses to all of the thermal elements in each block during each cycle.

An information recording apparatus has a large plurality of heat energy generating elements corresponding to a like plurality of ejection ports for ejecting ink. The heat energy generating elements cause a change in the state of the ink by heating the ink in response to a drive signal, thereby ejecting ink droplets from corresponding ejection ports. A selection signal sequentially selects from among plural groups of plural heat energy generating element and an information storing device stores recording information, portions of which correspond respectively to selected groups of the heat energy generating elements. A drive circuit supplies drive signals to the selected groups of heat energy generating elements, the drive signals for each group being supplied in accordance with the corresponding stored portion of the recording information.

In the printer, each printing hammer is composed of a pair of electroconductive elastic members arranged parallel to the axis of a type drum and is provided with paramagnetic material at its head. The hammer, when not used, is kept pulled in the non-printing position with the paramagnetic material attracted by a permanent magnet to accumulate mechanical energy in the elastic members. When the accumulated energy is discharged by an electromagnet provided at each hammer head including the paramagnetic material, printing operation is executed. Finishing the printing operation, the hammers return quickly to their home positions by the permanent magnet attraction force. A type drum and hammer heads are composed of an organic resilient substance.

In a printing hammer driving system, there is provided a character-bearing member having a plurality of identical characters disposed in mutually offset relationship in each of lines. The characters in each of the lines differ from those in any other line. A group of hammers is disposed in opposed relationship with the character-bearing member for impacting the characters thereon. A group of driving circuits is connected to the group of hammers for driving respective ones of the hammers. A group of gates is connected to the inputs of the group of driving circuits for selecting the hammers. Each of the gates has at least two input terminals. Memory means are provided which each have the output thereof connected to one of the input terminals of each gate for storing print digit information. Selector means are provided which each are connected to the other input terminal of each gate for selecting one or more of the gates.
