Ink-jet recording apparatus for e.g. facsimile - has image processing device which processes section of image covered by ink end marker so that image can be recognised

摘要

The recording apparatus includes an ink ejecting unit (11) which records images information and ink end marks (34) on the recording sheet (33). Using a sensor (12) the ink end mark is established on the recording sheet. A determining device determines whether the ink supply is finished when the ink end marker from the sensor is not established. An image processing device processes a section of an image which is covered with the ink end marker, so that the covered section of the image can be recognised. ADVANTAGE - Makes image recognisable when covered with marker indicating end of ink supply. Effective cleaning of ink ejecting nozzle.
