Patent ID: 7607754

Claim:
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising: a conveyor configured to convey a recording medium in a conveying direction; at least one recording head comprising: a flow path unit; a driver IC configured to output a drive signal an actuator configured to actuate ink in the flow path based on the drive signal; wherein at least one recording head of the at least one recording heads further comprises a temperature sensor configured to detect a current temperature of the driver IC of the at least one recording head, and a controller configured to control each of the conveyor and the at least one recording head, wherein the controller comprises: a detecting unit configured to compare the current temperature with a particular predetermined temperature; a driving control unit configured to drive the driver IC based at least on the current temperature; and a cycle determining unit configured to determine an ejection cycle of the at least one recording head, wherein when the current temperature is less than the particular predetermined temperature, the driver IC of the at least one recording head is driven in a first ejection cycle, and wherein when the current temperature is greater than or equal to the particular predetermined temperature, the driver IC of the at least one recording head is driven in a second ejection cycle.
