Patent ID: 6921147

Claim:
An ink-jet recording apparatus for performing recording by discharging ink from recording means onto a recording medium, said apparatus comprising: a carriage adapted to convey a recording head; a conveying member adapted to drive said carriage using a belt stretched between two pulleys; a first motor connected to one of the pulleys and a second motor connected to the other of the pulleys as drive sources of said two pulleys; and a drive circuit for driving said first motor and said second motor after receiving power supply from a source, wherein said drive circuit: push-pull-connects a first transistor and a fourth transistor, and connects said first motor between said first transistor and said fourth transistor, push-pull-connects a second transistor and a third transistor, and connects said second motor between said second transistor and said third transistor, connects a connection point between said first transistor and said first motor with one terminal of first resistance, and connects a connection point between said second transistor and said second motor with the other terminal of said first resistance, connects a connection point between said third transistor and said second motor with one terminal of second resistance, and connects a connection point between said fourth transistor and said first motor with the other terminal of said second resistance, and connects said first transistor and said third transistor with said source.
