Patent number: 12109798Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a conveyance path, a double-sided conveyance path, and first and second charge eliminators. The conveyance unit conveys a recording medium having first and second surfaces in a first direction through the conveyance path to a recording area where recording is performed by a recording unit on the first surface. The recording medium then passes through the double-sided conveyance path before recording is performed on the second surface. The first charge eliminator eliminates charges from the first surface and is disposed at a position downstream of a junction between the conveyance path and the double-sided conveyance path in the first direction and upstream of the recording area in the first direction. The second charge eliminator eliminate charges from the second surface and is disposed downstream of the junction in the first direction and upstream of the recording area in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takaaki Ishida, Masakazu Tsukuda, Masaaki Matsuura, Koki Kudo, Akira Kida, Masashi Hayashi, Atsushi Arai

Patent number: 12036795Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a print head, a recovery unit, a type obtaining unit, a threshold obtaining unit, and a calculation unit. The print head forms an image by applying a recording material to a recording medium. The recovery unit performs a recovery operation for recovering an ejection state of the print head. The type obtaining unit obtains a type of the recording medium on which the image is to be recorded. The threshold obtaining unit obtains a threshold for performing the recovery operation corresponding to the obtained type of the recording medium. The calculation unit calculates a count-up value by adding, in response to recording on the recording medium, an addition value set for each of types of recording media. The recovery operation is performed in a case where the count-up value calculated by the calculation unit exceeds the threshold obtained by the threshold obtaining unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masashi Hayashi, Atsushi Arai, Takaaki Ishida, Akira Kida, Masakazu Tsukuda, Masaaki Matsuura, Koki Kudo
