    摘要: An inspection signal includes a first potential-changing element having a potential that changes from a first potential to a second potential in one direction in a first time period, a first potential-maintaining element having the second potential maintained in a second time period immediately after the first time period, a second potential-changing element having a potential that changes from the second potential to a third potential in the other direction in a third time period immediately after the second time period, and a second potential-maintaining element having the third potential maintained in a fourth time period immediately after the third time period. When a natural vibration period of an ejecting section is TC, a length of the first time period is equal to or longer than 0.75×TC. A vibration detector detects a residual vibration in a detection period included in the fourth time period.
