    Abstract: In inkjet printers, it becomes possible to precisely estimate a remaining ink level in detailed scales with a low-cost and simple structure using a sensor. Specifically, a relatively inexpensive sensor that can examine whether the remaining ink level is below a predetermined value or not is employed in combination with a counter (C2) that retains information about ink consumption in printing and other operations. When the sensor has detected an ink level beyond the predetermined value or the presence of ink (S301), and the counter (C2) exceeds the threshold value (T2) corresponding to the ink-out level (N) (S308), the remaining ink level is increased to correct the counter error (S310).

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet recording apparatus capable of corresponding to various recording modes and various demands. SOLUTION: Ink cartridges having various features such as fixing properties, a dot diameter, a color or the like other than printing density are prepared to be set in an ink jet printer corresponding to a user's demand and specified on the side of the printer. Since viscosity, surface tension and a fixing time are different at every ink, proper head control considering these characteristics is performed to achieve the printing corresponding to a user's demand.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording system operating initialization processing corresponding to the mode information of a printing job at a recording device side in parallel with generating the plot information of the printing job at an outer device, and a method for processing the recording system. SOLUTION: In an ink jet recording system 1 constituted of a host computer 2 and an ink jet recording device 3 each connected with other through an interface cable 4, mode information 10a of a printing job 10 is transmitted by a printing job mode information transmitting part 12 of the host computer 2, and a data request is transmitted based on the mode information 10a from a data request transmitting part 18 of the ink jet recording device 3, and initialization processing corresponding to the mode information 10a is operated by an initializing part 22, and after the initialization processing is ended, the plot information 10b generated by the host computer 2 according to the data request is received, and a print recording operation is operated by a print recording mechanism 21.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively notify abnormal state of a recorder at low cost by notifying abnormal state based on the time to be elapsed before an abnormal state is detected by a detecting means after a command is delivered from a commanding means. SOLUTION: Occurrence of an abnormal state in a recorder 1 can be notified to a user by sounding a buzzer 14 with a volume higher than a specified level when a user is remote from the recorder 1. When the user is near the recorder 1, occurrence of an abnormal state in the recorder 1 can be notified to the user without causing any unnecessary cumbersomeness to the user by restricting the volume below the specified level. More specifically, presence of the user in the vicinity of an apparatus can be estimated without requiring any special sensor and a notifying means can be sounded with appropriate volume, time, frequency and the number of times of repetition.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute efficient recording by decreasing the number of replacing times of a mountable recording head. SOLUTION: A host computer 2 manages a print job data being transmitted to a recorder 3, information indicative of execution priority of the print job data, and first type information indicative of a plurality of types of recording head mountable selectively on a recorder 3 being used for the print job data while making them to correspond each other on a print job information management table 5. The host computer 2 generates second type information indicative of a recording head mounted on the recorder 3, compares the first type information with the second type information, updates execution priority information based on the comparison results and delivers a print job data managed on the print job information management table 5 to the recorder 3 based on that execution priority information.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently use a buffer memory by dynamically determining a recording width, a transfer amount of a recording medium and color component data to be cleared after recording, and carrying out recording to the recording medium on the basis of a judgment result of a memory state of the buffer memory and the determined recording width. SOLUTION: A plurality of buffer memories 106 are provided to temporarily store color image data input by an input means for every color component. A CPU 101 controls scanning by a color recording head 1 to carry out a recording operation. At this time of image-recording, a data memory state of the plurality of buffer memories 106 is monitored, and whether or not at least one data buffer of the plurality of buffer memories 106 becomes full is judged on the basis of a result of the monitoring. The recording head 1 is let to scan on the basis of a result of the judgment and a result at a determining means determining a recording width, a transfer amount of a recording media and color component data to be cleared after recording. Color images are thus recorded.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an image from disordering by a method wherein a recording by a second process is performed under the condition that a judgment whether a continuous image is present or not at the boundary between both regions adjacent to each other is performed and the judgment shows that the image is present neither at the boundary between a region to be recorded and a recorded region nor at the boundary between the region to be recorded and a region to be recorded next. SOLUTION: The presence and absence of a region, in which no image is present, (or a break) between a previous scanning and a present scanning is judged at a step S1. When not break is present, the printing direction of the present scanning is set to b a toward direction, in which a print improving liquid is printed before an ink is printed. When the break is present, the presence and absence of a break in the break judging region of the present scanning is judged at a step S2. When the break is present in the break judging region of the present scanning, the recording of image data ranging to the portion of the detected break is carried out by arbitrarily selecting either a forward direction, during which is present scanning recording is carried out by minimum short period of time, or a backward direction, in which the print improving liquid is printed after the ink is printed. When no break is present, the presence and absence of a break at the top of a next scanning is judged at a step S3. When the break is present, a recording is carried out in arbitrary direction at a step S5. When no break is present, a recording is carried out in the forward direction.
