Problems solved by technology

[0009] In the case where the main box is arranged at the lowest position and multiple inkjet printers are placed vertically, the inkjet printer at the top has the longest ink flow channel and also has the largest pressure loss due to the print head difference, so that the supply ink time becomes longest
On the contrary, the inkjet printer at the lowest position has the shortest ink flow path, and also has the smallest pressure loss due to the print head difference, so that the ink supply time becomes the shortest

Embodiment Construction

[0156] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0157] In a printer 1 shown in FIG. 1, which is an ink jet recording apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, a frame 2 is formed to define a window 3 having a certain width through which printing paper can pass. A recording head 5 mounted on a carriage 4 is arranged above the window 3 , the carriage 4 reciprocates in the main scanning direction, and a paper guide 6 for supporting printing paper is arranged under the window 3 . On the right side of the frame 2, an operating panel 7 for manipulating the control unit contained in the printer is arranged, and on the left side of the frame 2 an ink tank container 9 is arranged, which is covered by a cover 8 that can be opened and closed cover up. An ink tank is detachably accommodated therein.

[0158] Generally, the recording head 5 in the printer 1 is composed of a bl...

Abstract

The invention provides an ink supplying system and a method for managing the systematic ink supplying quantity. In an ink-jet recording device, at least one main box is used for storing ink; a plurality of auxiliary boxes are communicated with each main box; each auxiliary box is used for storing the ink supplied by the main box; and each auxiliary box is communicated with at least one recording head.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional case of the parent case (application number: 02105418.5). technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an ink jet recording apparatus for recording information on a recording medium with ink, a method of controlling the apparatus, and a method of replenishing ink stored in a main ink tank into a sub tank for temporarily storing supplementary ink. [0003] In addition, the present invention also relates to an ink supply system included in the above inkjet recording apparatus, and a method of managing the amount of ink supply performed by the ink supply system. Background technique [0004] Recently, a digital camera equipped with a CCD (electronic coupling device) and a memory device has been widely used in place of a camera using a silver halide film. Photographs taken by this digital camera are recorded on a recording medium by a recording device. As the recording device, for example, an inkjet printer is used, and as th...
