Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a recording head that comprises: a liquid flow forming unit that supplies liquid from the inlet into the supply and discharge flow path and forms a flow of liquid toward the outlet in the supply and discharge flow path; a first temperature sensor that detects temperature of the recording head; a second temperature sensor that detects temperature of the recording head; a heating unit that heats the recording head; and a control unit that controls the liquid flow forming unit and the heating unit on the basis of a first detection temperature detected by the first temperature sensor and a second detection temperature detected by the second temperature sensor, wherein the first temperature sensor is disposed in the vicinity of a first position between the inlet and the communicating position of the liquid supply flow path along the supply and discharge flow path, wherein the second temperature sensor is disposed in the vicinity of a second position between the outlet and the communicating position along the supply and discharge flow path, wherein the heating unit is disposed in the vicinity of a third position between the inlet and the communicating position along the supply and discharge flow path, and wherein the control unit controls the heating unit and the liquid flow forming unit to decrease differences between the first detection temperature and the second detection temperature.
