Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012030580
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an inkjet recording apparatus for determining whether ink is discharged, and to provide a control method of the same.
An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a heating unit 3 configured to produce thermal energy for discharging the ink; and two electrodes which electrically connect with each other through the ink. Voltage is applied between the two electrodes, and a current value flowing through the ink is measured. Whether the ink is discharged is determined by determining whether the current changes when the heating unit 3 is driven.
