    摘要: A recording apparatus for recording by discharging plural kinds of ink from the recording head to a recording medium comprises detection device for detecting the decrease of ink remains of each ink of the plural kinds of ink, ink amount indication device arranged in a number smaller than the number of the plural kinds of ink, and signal outputting device for outputting signals which enables the decrease of ink remains having the least amount of ink remains to be displayed on the ink amount indication device in accordance with the results of plural detections by the detection device. In this way, only the ink remains having the least ink remains among those kinds of ink in use is indicated on the display, not the ink remains of all the kinds of ink, thus making it possible to minimize the number of indication devices to make the indication device simpler and smaller or minimize the area on the screen of the display assigned for indicating the ink remains in order to save it for indicating more information other than the ink remains.

    摘要: An ink jet recording apparatus having an ink jet recording head and a cap. The apparatus includes a recording head, the recording head having a discharge port face with a discharge port arranged thereon, and a recovery device, the recovery device including the cap for covering the discharge port face, the cap having an interior and including a body portion and an edge portion opposing the discharge port face and having a leading end, the edge portion including an elastic member for covering a periphery of the discharge port, wherein during a capping operation a plane defined by the leading end of the edge portion is not parallel to the discharge port face and the edge portion is not displaced in a direction different from a capping direction between the cap and the ink jet recording head. A part of the leading end of the edge portion in contact with the discharge port face defines a contact portion between the leading end of the edge portion and the discharge port face, and the contact portion increases during the capping operation as the leading end approaches the discharge port face and gradually comes into contact with the discharge port face, the discharge port face being capped with the entire leading end of the edge portion in contact therewith when the capping operation is terminated.

    摘要: A recording apparatus performs recording with an ink jet recording head that is capable of ejecting ink onto a recording medium. The recording apparatus includes an ink receiving section disposed at a position to be able to oppose an orifice-formed face of the recording head, a preliminary ejection unit for causing ink ejection from discharging orifices toward said ink receiving section by driving said recording head to remove causes of defective ink ejection, an absorption unit for absorbing ink remaining in the ink receiving section as a result of ink ejection by the preliminary ejection unit, and a dry absorption control unit. The dry absorption control unit causes ink absorption by driving the absorption unit when a number of preliminary ejection caused by the preliminary ejection unit, from the time of an absorption previously executed by the dry absorption unit during recording, exceeds a predetermined number.

    摘要: A recording apparatus for performing recording with an ink jet recording head, capable of ejecting ink onto a recording medium, comprises a cap to be opened and closed with respect to a discharge-orifice face of the recording head and a cap drive mechanism for opening the cap at the initiation of recording head driving and closing the cap when a non-driving period of the recording head exceeds a predetermined period of time .alpha.. A preliminary ejection circuit causes ejection of ink from the discharge orifices by driving the recording head to remedy defective ink ejection and preliminary ejection drive circuitry provides for preliminary ejection when a predetermined period of time .beta. is exceeded after a previously executed preliminary ejection, wherein the predetermined period of time .beta. does not include time during which the cap is closed.
