    摘要: A recording apparatus has a recording operation that is performed after a disposable liquid ejection recording head is mounted. The discrimination is made as to whether the recording head mounted is proper or not relative to the main assembly to which the recording head is mounted, when the main switch is actuated or the recording head is mounted. The discrimination is made with use of a part of a structure in the recording head: a temperature sensor, a temperature keeping heater, an ejection heater or a driving semiconductor function element, for example. If it is not proper, the recording operation is prevented, and/or the improperness is displayed.

    摘要: A liquid jet recording apparatus includes an ink container. A pair of electrodes are provided to be immersed in the ink in the container. By applying a voltage between the electrodes, the remainder of the ink is detected by a change in the electric resistance between the electrodes. The voltage application is not continuous but is intermittent and is performed at a predetermined time associated with the recording operation (at the time of carriage reversal) to detect the remainder of the ink. When the ink remainder detecting operation is not performed, the voltage is not applied to the electrodes. During a stand-by period the execution of the remainder of ink detection process is carried out only once to prevent degradation of the ink caused by electrolysis.

    摘要: In order to prevent change in the properties of recording liquid such as surface tension, viscosity, etc. a recording head is provided with an integral temperature sensor. The temperature controlling operation is performed in response to an output of the temperature sensor to maintain the recording liquid within a predetermined temperature range. In order to correct the variation in the properties of the individual temperature sensors, the main apparatus contains a reference temperature sensor. The temperature sensor of the recording head is corrected in its output on the basis of comparison between the temperature sensors. The recording head is provided with information representative of a property of the temperature sensor of the recording head. By the mounting of the recording head into the apparatus, the information is read, and the output of the temperature sensor is corrected on the basis of the read information.

    摘要: A device for detecting a quantity of remaining ink includes first and second electrodes provided in an ink supply passage which connects an ink tank for storing an ink to a recording head for emitting the ink, and a detection means for detecting a resistance between the first and second electrodes. The second electrode is provided in the ink supply passage in an area relatively close to the recording head, whereas the first electrode is provided in the ink supply passage in an area relatively far from the recording head with the second electrode therebetween. The second electrode is maintained at the same potential as that of a substrate which constitutes the recording head and on which emission energy generating elements driven to emit the ink are disposed, whereas the first electrode is maintained at a potential different from that of the second electrode. Consequently, the amount of remaining ink can be detected by measuring changes in the resistance between the first and second electrodes.
