Driving apparatus for recording head and image recording apparatus including the driving apparatus

An image recording apparatus comprising:

• a waveform signal generator that generates a plurality of waveform signals representing various recording modes;
• at least one recording head including a plurality of recording element groups:
• and
• a driving apparatus that drives the at least one recording head,
• the driving apparatus comprising:
• a first waveform signal receiver that receives, through signal lines, the plurality of waveform signals generated by the waveform signal generator;
• a first drive signal provider that generates drive signals on the basis of the plurality of waveform signals received by the first waveform signal receiver, and supplies the drive signals to one of the recording element groups included in the at least one recording head;
• a first delay circuit that delays the waveform signals received by the first waveform signal receiver;
• and
• a second drive signal provider that generates drive signals on the basis of the waveform signals delayed by the first delay circuit, and supplies the drive signals to another recording element group.
