Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the appropriate control of the flying velocity of an ejected ink droplet. SOLUTION: The ink jet printer is equipped with a nozzle opening through which an ink droplet is ejected, an ink chamber communicating with the nozzle opening, an ink supply passage for supplying an ink to the ink chamber and a piezoelectric element for expending/shrinking the ink chamber in conformity with an applied voltage. When performing a series of discharge steps including a first step (A-B) to expand the ink chamber and draw a meniscus in the nozzle opening into an ink chamber direction, a second step (B-C) to fill the ink chamber with the ink and move the meniscus into a nozzle opening direction and a third step (C-D) to contract the ink chamber to eject the ink droplet, a velocity at which the periodic position of the meniscus changes at the point of time when the third step starts, is appropriately selected, and thereby, the velocity at which the ink droplet to be ejected in the third steps airborne, is controlled.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate unevenness in printing density so as to prevent deterioration in image quality, by preventing the occurrence of a standing wave so as to prevent lack of the replenishment quantity of ink and the downsizing of an ink droplet.
SOLUTION: When f represents a driving frequency for driving a heating resistor and Lfn represents the length of a common channel wherein the standing wave is generated in the ink, the actual length L of the common channel is set not to correspond to Lfn. When L represents the length of the common channel and Fn (a suffix n represents an nth-order harmonic index) represents the number of vibrations generated in the ink in common channel by the standing wave, the driving frequency f for actually driving the heating resistor is set not to correspond to Fn.
