A rise time and / or a fall time of a driving voltage are set to be not less than {fraction (1 / 20)} of a period of natural oscillation of an ink-jet head. This suppresses a driving voltage, an amount of generated heat, and dissipated power, which increase when there is a loss due to a resistor component of a charge / discharge system, such as wiring or switching elements, caused by a large current that is flown when the driving voltage rises or falls sharply. The rise time and / or fall time may be made not more than ⅓ of the period of natural oscillation. In this way, 80% or higher efficiency can be ensured for the oscillation energy of piezoelectric elements, which increases as the rise or fall of the driving voltage becomes sharper. Further, the rise time and / or fall time may be set in the vicinity of {fraction (1 / 20)} of the period of natural oscillation. In this way, the ejection energy of the piezoelectric elements can be saturated almost completely. As a result, less driving voltage, less heat, and less power are required to drive piezoelectric elements, which are used in ink-jet recording apparatuses and other types of apparatuses.
