Title:
LIQUID JETTING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010167725
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a liquid jetting apparatus which can generate a drive pulse accorded with an amount of change of a natural oscillation period even when the natural oscillation period of a liquid in a pressure generation chamber changes.

The printer includes the pressure generation chamber, a recording head which has a piezoelectric vibrator to generate a pressure fluctuation to the pressure generation chamber including a member formed of a resin (elastic film) at least partly in a portion in touch with the ink in the pressure generation chamber, a drive signal generating circuit which generates the drive pulse to drive the piezoelectric vibrator, and a nonvolatile storage element which stores a color ID related to the ejection characteristic of the ink of the recording head. The printer is equipped with a control unit which corrects the color ID read from the nonvolatile storage element on the basis of an amount of change of a test pattern 53 formed by the ink hit on the resin film by generating the drive pulse from the drive signal generating circuit, and a control unit which adjusts the drive pulse in the case of ejection operation on the basis of the color ID corrected by the control part.
