Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid jet recording apparatus in which a liquid discharge for recovery of a recording head is directly carried out by the conveying belt. A collecting effect of an ink mist generated at a recording area of the recording head is carried out by a charged conveying belt, a rotary member conveying the recording medium, preferably an electrostatically absorbing conveying belt.
Claims29
A liquid jet recording apparatus comprising:
- a mounting portion for mounting a recording means for carrying out recording by discharging liquid;
- rotary conveying means for conveying a recording medium to which the liquid is applied by said recording means;
- and
- controlling means for controlling idle discharge for recovery or prevention of poor discharge from said recording means by controlling discharge of the liquid from said recording means onto a portion of a surface of said conveying means at which the recording medium to be conveyed is absent.
1 more element
A liquid jet recording apparatus comprising:
- a mounting portion for mounting a recording means for discharging liquid for recording;
- conveying means for conveying a recording medium to which the liquid is applied by said recording means, said conveying means having a conveying belt moving endlessly and conveying belt charging means for electrostatically attracting the recording medium to said conveying belt;
- controlling means for supplying a portion of said conveying belt, which is charged by said charging means and on which the recording medium is not carried, to a recording area adjacent said recording means, after completion of recording of the recording medium by said recording means;
- and
- cleaning means for cleaning said conveying means.
2 more elements
A liquid jet recording apparatus comprising:
- a mounting portion for mounting a recording means for discharging a liquid to a recording medium by forming a bubble by a film boiling in the liquid by applying an electric signal corresponding to a recording signal, said recording means being provided with at least one recording head having an electro-thermal converting element for forming the bubble by applying thermal energy into the liquid and a discharge portion having a length corresponding to a width of the recording medium in a conveying direction thereof;
- an endless conveying belt for electrostatically attracting the recording medium;
- and
- charging means for charging said conveying belt including a surface thereof located between adjacent recording media in a plural recording media conveying mode of the conveying belt, wherein said conveying belt is wider than the recording medium and electrostatically attracts any mist created by discharging liquid during recording, and wherein said recording means includes controlling recording for supplying a portion of said conveying belt, which is charged by said charging means, but which does not carry the recording medium, to a recording area adjacent said a recording means after completion of recording of the recording medium by said recording means, and cleaning means for cleaning said conveying means.
