Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes K ejection electrodes and K gate electrodes corresponding to the K ejection electrodes, respectively, which are located at a distance from the K ejection electrodes. The K gate electrodes are divided into M blocks each having N gate electrodes electrically connected in common. A first voltage pulse is applied to a selected one of N groups each formed by electrically connecting an i.sup.th (1.ltoreq.i.ltoreq.N) ejection electrode for each block to each other and a second voltage pulse is applied to a selected one of the M blocks. A voltage difference is generated between a group and a block which are selected from the N groups and the M blocks depending on an input signal, wherein the voltage difference is equal to or greater than a minimum voltage difference which causes ejection of an ejection electrode.

Abstract: In an electrostatic inkjet device having a plurality of ejection electrodes, when an ejection electrode is designated as an ejection dot, a potential of the ejection electrode is changed to an ejection level for a first time period. When the ejection electrode is not designated as an ejection dot, the potential of the ejection electrode is changed within a predetermined level different from a ground level such that ejection does not occur at the ejection electrode.

Abstract: A capacitance is detected between an ejecting electrode and an opposite electrode by a capacitance detecting circuit with a recording medium placed on the opposite electrode. An electric field strength in the ejecting electrode is calculated by a gap adjustment control circuit based upon the detected capacitance. A motor driving circuit is controlled so that the electric field strength is set to a preset value. A lead screw coupled to the ejecting electrode is rotated by a motor and a gap between the ejecting electrode and the opposite electrode is thereby adjusted. Even if the thickness of a used recording medium changes, the ejecting electric field strength is kept stable and the recording quality is stabilized.

Abstract: An ink jet printer has a plurality of ink ejection electrodes for receiving an ejecting voltage to eject an ink droplet, a pulse width generator for specifying the pulse width of each ejecting electrode to obtain a dot diameter of the ink droplet for gray-scale printing. The ejecting voltage Vej for each ejection electrode is divided into a plurality of unit pulses. Each unit pulse is supplied to a corresponding ejection electrode concurrently with unit pulses for other ejection electrodes. A combination of unit pulses for a single ejection electrode forms a single ink droplet having a dot diameter corresponding to the number of unit pulses, thereby achieving accurate gray-scale printing with a reduced circuit scale.

Abstract: Light of a light emitting portion is received by a total of two light receiving portions disposed opposite to each other through a record medium. The surface condition of the record medium is detected corresponding to the amount of light reflected and the amount of light transmitted so as to determine whether the record medium placed is plain paper, coated paper, OHP film, or the like. By controlling the number of heating elements of a heater or turning on/off the heater, an optimum fixing condition is accomplished.
