Abstract:
An ink jet recording device comprising:a head formed with a plurality of nozzles aligned in a first direction, the head selectively ejecting ink droplets from the nozzles in response to an ejection data to form an image on a recording medium; an electric field generating means for generating a charger electric field for charging the ink droplets and a charger electric field for deflecting a flying direction of the charged ink droplets in response to a deflection data, the electric field generating means including an electrode provided common to the plurality of nozzles, the electrode extending in the first direction; an instructing means for outputting an instruction indicating an overlapping manner of a plurality of dots of ink droplets ejected from different nozzles to form a single dot; and a signal processing means for generating the ejection data and the deflection data based on the instruction from the instructing means.
