Abstract: An ink jet recording device 10 includes a plurality of head modules 210 each formed with a plurality of nozzles for forming dots on a recording sheet 100. When the assembly of the head modules 210 has any positional error, recorded dots will shift to undesirable positions. However, the ink jet recording device 10 of the present invention adjust the dot forming positions to desirable positions in an electrical manner without actually and mechanically moving the head modules 210, both in directions perpendicular to and parallel with a nozzle line.
