Abstract:
An ink-jet recording apparatus comprising; a recording head having a nozzle, a micro-vibrating unit for causing ink in the nozzle to minutely vibrate, a recording-starting-position setting unit for setting recording-starting-position information that represents a position within the record range corresponding to the media where the nozzle should start to jet the ink, according to recording data,a micro-vibrating-starting-position setting unit for setting micro-vibrating-starting position information that represents a position where the micro-vibrating unit should start to cause the ink to minutely vibrate, according to the recording-starting-position information, a scanning-position-information outputting unit capable of outputting head-position information that represents a position of the recording head while the recording head is scanning, and a pre-recording micro-vibrating controlling unit for judging a micro-vibrating-starting timing according to the micro-vibrating-starting-position information and the head position information in order to cause the micro-vibrating unit to operate.
