Description
請求項5記載のインクジェット記録装置は、請求項1から4のいずれかに記載のインクジェット記録装置において、前記制御手段は、前記記憶手段から前記各駆動電極に対応した前記記録情報を、前記複数の出力端子の配列順序に対応した順序で読み出す。
また、記録素子の各列は複数の記録色に対応しており、その記録色毎の記録情報は記憶手段にそれぞれ記憶される。また、制御手段は、出力端子の配列に対応して記憶手段から記録情報を読み出して変換器に転送する。よって、複数列の駆動電極のほぼ列方向の配列順に対応して記憶手段から順番に各色の記録情報を読み出してシリアル転送し、各色の記録素子列に対応したパラレル信号を出力するので、複数色の記録を簡素な構成で実現することができるという効果がある。
また、駆動電極とそれに対応する変換器の出力端子とを接続する配線パターンを有し、駆動電極の配列方向と直交する方向に延びる配線基板を備えており、その配線基板上に変換器が設けられている。よって、配線基板の幅を駆動電極の列方向の長さと略同等に形成できるため、多数の記録素子および駆動電極に対して容易に対応することができるという効果がある。また、配線基板上に変換器と配線パターンとを有しているので、変換器および配線基板の取付作業が容易となるという効果もある。
