To drive an inkjet printhead having an array of printing elements, where the first and second printing elements which discharge relatively different amounts of ink are arranged on the same array in a predetermined direction, print data for the first or second printing element is serially inputted, the inputted print data is sequentially stored, the stored print data is latched, a selection signal indicative of which of the first or second printing element is to be driven is inputted, a driving signal indicative of a driving period is inputted, and respective printing elements are driven in accordance with the latched print data, the selection signal, and the driving signal. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the cost of the printhead having plural types of printing elements, which discharge relatively different amounts of ink, and possible to easily control driving of the printhead.

摘要:
A recording medium in the sheet form is supplied into a designated direction guided by a sheet supply roller. An ink jet recording head in which a plurality of ink jet discharging orifices are arranged is placed in parallel with a surface of the recording sheet and in the direction perpendicular to the designated direction of supplying the recorded sheet. An adjustment screw is placed for correcting a warped shape of the ink jet recording head by means of displacing a neighbor of a central portion of a longer side of the ink jet recording head in the designated direction of supplying the recording sheet.
摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus which records by discharging ink onto a recording medium comprises recording head for recording on the recording medium by discharging ink through discharge ports; an ink tank for storing the ink; a first ink flow channel for passing the ink from the ink tank to the recording head; a second ink flow channel for passing the ink from the recording head into the ink tank; a filter provided in the first ink flow channel; and a back flow prevention valve provided in the second ink flow channel.
摘要:
An ink jet head comprises a plurality of ink liquid paths in which energy generating elements are formed, a common liquid chamber communicated with the plurality of ink liquid paths, and an air chamber which is communicated with the common liquid chamber via a communication section formed at substantially a central portion of the air chamber and which ls formed along the longitudinal direction of the common liquid chamber. This arrangement of the ink jet head enables air in the air chamber to act on refilling behavior of ink in each of the ink liquid paths so that refilling in each of the ink liquid paths is not delayed.

An ink jet recorder includes a plurality of recording elements which are arranged corresponding to each of a plurality of ejection outlets for ejecting ink in accordance with driving signals, a plurality of ejection passages corresponding to the ejection outlets and connected to a common chamber, a plurality of driving blocks formed by dividing the recording elements by predetermined number of units in the arrangement order, control elements for each of the driving blocks and for controlling the recording elements associated with each driving block in a simultaneous driving manner, a selection unit for selecting the driving block to be driven in order that at least adjacent driving blocks are not driven in sequence, and a supply unit for supplying driving signals to the driving block selected by the said selecting unit. With this arrangement, ink in ejection passages associated with a driving block adjacent the selected driving block will not be significantly affected when the selected driving block is driven.
