Abstract: A photoconductive layer is formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of a light transmissive drum, and a conductive layer is formed on the photoconductive layer and is made up of a plurality of strip-like conductive portions. Provided around the drum are a tank for storing thermo-melting ink, a blade which removes surplus ink on the outer peripheral surface of the drum, a drier for drying the ink filling the gaps between the conductive portions in the conductive layers, a platen roller which presses against the outer peripheral surface of the drum with a sheet of recording paper in between, and a light source which is provided inside the drum, facing the inner peripheral surface thereof. When the light source is selectively operated in accordance with image information, current is made to flow between the conductive portions in the conductive layer via the photoconductive layer at image recording areas, thus causing the ink filling the gap to be transferred to the recording paper.

Abstract: An ink jet print head by which ink droplet ejected from all orifices are adapted to have uniform size has the following structure. Each of a plurality of ink chambers divided by partitions is communicated with a common pressure chamber with a first filter interposed. Common pressure chamber is communicated with a common ink feed path with a second filter interposed. Common pressure chamber and each of the ink chambers are covered by a pressure chamber ceiling. On pressure chamber ceiling, a piezo vibrator is provided at a position corresponding to common pressure chamber. A movable wall which is bent and deformed to the side increasing the volume is provided corresponding to each partition. By driving a piezo vibrator, a pressure wave is generated in common pressure chamber, which wave is transmitted to each ink chamber through the first filter. When movable wall is bent and deformed, the pressure wave is absorbed, so that an ink droplet is not ejected. When movable wall is not deformed, ink droplet is ejected because of the pressure wave.

Abstract: The printer ink jet head drive devices each include a voltage supply device (10) for providing electrical energy to each of the heating elements. A measuring device (11a) measures an electrical value which directly or indirectly represents the electrical resistance of one or several heating elements. A control device (14a) controls the supply of energy to the heating elements such that the supply terminates when the electrical value measured by the measuring device reaches a threshold value.

Abstract: An ink jet printer performs a control of a supply of electric power for each heating element based on a temperature dependency of a resistance value by monitoring its resistance value while ink is being discharged. Accordingly, the ink jet printer permits a damage of the heating element and a discharge inferior caused by a difference in characteristics in heating elements, ambient temperature, etc., to be suppressed. Additionally, as the temperature of the heating element is not detected directly, the ink jet printer permits high speed control of the electric value, thereby permitting high speed printing.

Abstract: The ink jet print head has a number of nozzles (7a) formed in a plate (7) that creates an ink reservoir with a base container (5). The base has locations (3) to which is fixed an actuator strip of piezo electric material that has electrode layers on both sides. The electrodes (9a,9b) are connected via a switch (8) to a voltage supply. When the voltage is applied the bimorph actuator deforms and ink in the top chamber is expelled as jet droplets (100). Each nozzle has an associated actuator.
