<p>An ink jet recording apparatus for performing recording by ejecting ink to a recording medium (18, P), has a recording head (101, IJH) and head driving unit (200, 101A). The recording head (101, IJH) has a plurality of orifices (N1, N2, ... Nn) and a plurality of ejection energy generating elements (11, 12, ... 1n) each of which corresponds to each of the plurality of orifices (N1, N2, ... Nn). The head driving unit drives selected ejection energy generating elements (11, 12, ... 1n) so that ink is ejected from orifices cash of which corresponds to each of the selected ejection energy elements. The selected orifices include at least one orifice adjacent to an aimed orifice at which an ink ejection recovery is performed, but exclude the aimed orifice in an arrangement of the plurality of orifices. <IMAGE></p> |
