    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: When the vicinity of discharge ports of the recording head (1) of an ink jet recording apparatus is wiped for cleaning, ink is prevented from splashing in order to avoid any spoilage in the interior of a recording apparatus due to ink stains resulting from ink splashing. An ink jet recording apparatus for recording by discharging ink from recording means (1) to a recording medium is provided with a wiping member (27) capable of abutting upon a discharge port surface (81) of the recording means, and a relative speed is generated between the wiping member (27) and recording means when the wiping member abuts upon the recording means to clean the discharge port surface (81) thereof, and then, the contact of the wiping member with the recording means (1) is released in the direction parting from the recording means in a state that the wiping member (27) is on the discharge port surface (81) while the relative speed is being generated between the recording means and wiping member (27).

    Abstract: A recording apparatus for performing recording on a recording medium with an ink jet recording head (9) capable of ink jetting is described. The recording head is closed by capping after closure of power source or during waiting or when no data is provided from a host unit for a predetermined period of time. To ensure reliable capping, the position of carriage (11) carrying the head (9) is recognized. According to the invention, in case when jumping of teeth occurs in a carriage motor drive system gear (31) due to external disturbance of carriage running, the error that occurs in the carriage position recognition is held within one step so that there is no adverse effect on the capping executed during non-recording time such as then recording is ended or when absorbing recovering is executed.

    Abstract: A thermal printer adapted for multicolor printing is provided with a thermal head which is driven according to information of color of character or image to be printed. The color information is previously stored in a memory. The multicolor ribbon used in the printer is composed of different color inks having different melting points coated in layers on a base film. In driving the thermal head, the amount of thermal energy generated from it is changed by changing the applied voltage to it and/or the driving time of it to perform multicolor printing with the multicolor ink ribbon.

    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.
