In a multi-drop system, a drive pulse voltage for increasing a volume of an ink chamber is applied for a time of AL, a drive pulse voltage for decreasing the volume of the ink chamber (15) is subsequently applied for a time of 2AL, application of the drive pulse voltage is thereafter paused for a time of AL, and the same timing operation is thereafter repeated again to perform emission of an ink drop for a plurality of times, where AL is a time required for a pressure wave in an ink chamber (15) is transmitted from an end to the other end in the ink emission direction. The drive pulse voltage for emitting a last ink drop forming a part of a one-dot liquid drop is applied for a time of 2AL, application of the drive pulse voltage is thereafter paused for a time of AL, and a dumping pulse voltage is thereafter applied in a direction in which the volume of the ink chamber (15) is decreased. <IMAGE> |
