Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a maintenance method in which effects of foreign substance and bubbles can be removed from an ejection head where many ejecting parts are arranged in array even without using the pressurization action and the suction action.
SOLUTION: Liquid droplets are continuously ejected from one or more ejecting parts not adjacent to each other. When the continuous ejection action of liquid droplets ends, the continuous ejection action of liquid droplets is repeatedly carried out sequentially one by one for the ejecting part next adjacent in a specific direction to the present liquid droplet ejection position.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an image quality from being deteriorated due to a density unevenness or a white streak. SOLUTION: An apparatus for discharging a liquid includes a discharge controller which controls an amplitude of current to be supplied to heating resistors 52a, 52b and 52c in a head chip 28, thereby enabling ink droplets "i" to be discharged by changing a discharging angle in all directions of 360° at a nozzle 54a as a center. Thus, the apparatus can prevent the white streak along a feeding direction of a recording sheet or the density unevenness of a color from occurring. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
