Questions about Liquid Ejection Apparatus

What are the key components of a liquid ejection apparatus?

A liquid ejection apparatus typically consists of an ejection head with ejection openings, pressure chambers, flow paths, a generation mechanism for liquid flow differentiation, a scanning mechanism, and a control unit for printing.

How does the scanning mechanism contribute to the printing process?

The scanning mechanism moves the ejection head in different directions, allowing liquid to be ejected from the ejection openings onto a printing medium, enabling precise and accurate printing.


Original Abstract Submitted

In a liquid ejection apparatus, density unevenness of initial ejection from ejection openings after ejection stop can be reduced in a region in which printing is performed by relative movement of an ejection head. The liquid ejection apparatus includes: an ejection head including ejection openings, pressure chambers communicating with the ejection openings, and a flow path communicating with each pressure chamber; a generation mechanism configured to generate liquid flow passing through each pressure chamber via the flow path and differentiate first and second directions of liquid flow for each ejection opening; a scanning mechanism configured to scan the ejection head in the first and second directions; and a control unit configured to perform printing by causing the scanning mechanism to scan the ejection head relative to a printing medium and ejecting liquid from the ejection openings of the first and second directions to a unit region.
