Recording head and recording apparatus using the same

摘要

A recording head records data by correcting a variation among recording elements without significantly increasing a size of a substrate of the recording head. The recording head includes a plurality of heat generating elements and a circuit for energizing the heat generating elements in accordance with record data to record data. Selection information for selecting one of a plurality of pre-heat pulse signals is non-volatilly stored in a ROM and one of the pre-heat signal pulses applied to an input terminal is selected in accordance with the selection information stored in the ROM to pre-heat the heat generating elements.
