Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head, a reading device, and a controller. The recording head ejects ink to form a sample image on a sheet. The reading device reads the sample image to generate read image data. The controller determines a start timing of reading processing by which the reading device reads the sample image. The controller causes the reading device to start the reading processing at the start timing. The controller determines a drive condition of the recording head based on the read image data.
Claims8
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head configured to eject ink to form a sample image on a sheet;
- a reading device configured to read the sample image to generate read image data;
- a casing accommodating the recording head therein;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a start timing of reading processing by which the reading device reads the sample image, wherein
- the start timing is a time point calculated by adding a wait period to a time point at which ejection of the sheet to an outside of the casing is completed,
- the controller causes the reading device to start the reading processing at the start timing, and
- the controller determines a drive condition of the recording head based on the read image data.
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head configured to eject ink to form a sample image on a sheet;
- a reading device configured to read the sample image to generate read image data;
- a controller configured to determine a start timing of reading processing by which the reading device reads the sample image;
- an exit tray on which the sheet with the sample image formed thereon by the recording head is to be ejected;
- and
- a document conveyor device configured to convey the sheet ejected to the exit tray to a position at which the sample image formed on the sheet can be read by the reading device, wherein
- the controller causes the reading device to start the reading processing at the start timing,
- the controller determines a drive condition of the recording head based on the read image data,
- the document conveyor device includes a document loading tray on which the sheet ejected to the exit tray is to be placed,
- the controller starts time measurement processing when the sheet with the sample image formed thereon is ejected to the exit tray, and
- the controller determines whether or not the sheet is placed on the document loading tray when a wait period has elapsed from a start of the time measurement processing.
