Abstract: According to the present invention, a liquid jet recording head assembly method comprises the steps of assembling a pressing member with a reference member to which an element substrate is fixed, charging a forcing spring provided for the pressing member to obtain a gap through which a grooved top plate can be inserted, assembling, by means of the gap, the grooved top plate with the element, and releasing the charging of the forcing spring and using the force exerted by the forcing spring to press the grooved top plate against the element substrate, so as to secure the grooved top plate to the element substrate.

Abstract: A recording apparatus is provided with plural recording units. A supplied original is discriminated by an original discriminating unit, and is recorded by a recording unit selected according to the result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit. The plural recording units are mutually different in the recording image magnification or in the recording method.

Abstract: A recording apparatus for recording images on a plurality of recording media, including an image recording unit for recording images on the plurality of recording media. The apparatus also includes a control unit for controlling the image recording unit to sequentially record images on one recording medium of the plurality of recording media, and for controlling the image recording unit to record at least one image on each of the one recording medium and at least one other recording medium of the plurality of recording media after recording a predetermined number of images on the one recording medim. The apparatus also includes a unit for recording retrieval information on the plurality of recording media.

Abstract: A recording apparatus for recording images of an object on a plurality of recording media records the object images on the recording media at different reduction factors. It also records an object image independently on each of the recording media.

Abstract: A recording system in which film stored in a state of loops can be fed smoothly due to the film guide members which can change their positions depending on the amount of films a sensor means has detected. In addition, the assembly of a film transport unit and a development container can be mounted or dismounted to or from the development unit easily.

Abstract: A film transport apparatus comprises a rotary member for abutting against a rolled film wound on a reel held on a cartridge to drive the film forwardly, a separating device arranged upstream of the rotary member with respect to a direction of rotation of the film for separating a leading end of the film, and a pressing device arranged downstream of the rotary member with respect to the direction of rotation of the film for abutting against the rolled film to press the film.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a lamp, a CCD array, an image density adjustor, first and second shutter drivers, first and second shutters, an image area discriminating circuit, and a microcomputer. The lamp illuminates an image and retrieval information of a microfilm having the image and the retrieval information at the side of the image. The CCD array receives light from the image and the retrieval information on the microfilm illuminated by the lamp. The image density adjustor, first and second shutter drivers, and first and second shutters cooperate with each other to record the image of the microfilm on a recording medium. The image area discriminating circuit discriminates the image from the retrieval information according to an output from the CCD array. The microcomputer controls the image density adjustor and the first and second shutter drivers so as not to record the retrieval information on the recording medium according to an output from the image area discriminating circuit.
