    Abstract: The present invention relates to a discharge recovery processing of an ink jet recording apparatus which forms an image on the recording medium by discharging the ink. The invention aims to prevent the increase in the running costs and the shortened life of a waste ink tank by preventing the wasteful ink consumption which may be caused by the dual use of an automatic recovery processing and a manual recovery processing after the replacement of an ink tank. Also, the invention further aims to provide an ink jet recording apparatus with high safety and reliability as well as effecting an appropriate recovery by controlling the movement of head in involving the recovery.

    Abstract: A recording apparatus for recording by discharging plural kinds of ink from the recording head to a recording medium comprises detection means for detecting the decrease of ink remains of each ink of the plural kinds of ink, ink amount indication means arranged in a number smaller than the number of the plural kinds of ink, and signal outputting means for outputting signals which enables the decrease of ink remains having the least amount of ink remains to be displayed on the ink amount indication means in accordance with the results of plural detections by the detection means. In this way, only the ink remains having the least ink remains among those kinds of ink in use is indicated on the display, not the ink remains of all the kinds of ink, thus making it possible to minimize the number of indication means to make the indication device simpler and smaller or minimize the area on the screen of the display assigned for indicating the ink remains in order to save it for indicating more information other than the ink remains.

    Abstract: A sheet supply apparatus according to the present invention has a pawl separation means (23) for separating sheets (P) one by one by regulating the tip ends and upper surfaces of tip end portions of the sheets (P), which pawl separation means (23) can be retarded from a sheet regulating position when it is urged by the sheet with a predetermined force. With this arrangement, sheets (P) having small resiliency such as plain sheets are separated one by one by successively riding over the pawl separation means (23), and sheets having great resiliency such as post cards and envelopes urge the pawl separation means (23) to a retracted position to pass through the pawl separation means and are separated one by one by means of another separation means.

    Abstract: In a recording apparatus using a plurality of kinds of head cartridges each comprising an ink jet recording head and an ink tank formed as a unit, the present invention prevents, when a wrong head cartridge has been mounted during cartridge exchange, data regarding the remain of ink in a thitherto used cartridge of other kind from being lost, and enables the remain of ink in that cartridge to be confirmed. A user is pressed for the exchange of the head cartridge now mounted to thereby effect the exchange actually, and is called on to confirm whether the newly mounted head cartridge is a right one, and the initialization of the data regarding the remain of ink is effected when the user has done the inputting of the confirmation.
