Abstract (en)

According to this invention, upon execution of recording by ejecting an ink droplet from a recording head, a surrounding temperature sensor for measuring the surrounding temperature is provided to a main body side, and a change in temperature of the head is presumed from the past to the present time by calculation processing, so that optimal temperature control can be performed without arranging a head temperature sensor having a correlation with the head temperature. At this time, the ejection quantity can be stabilized by changing the pulse width of a driving signal on the basis of the presumed head temperature, and ejection can be stabilized by performing restoration processing. <IMAGE>
