Description
前記本体メイン回路は、前記複数種類の駆動波形信号を出力する信号発生部を複数有しており、前記複数の記録材のうち特定の記録材を用いて記録する第1の記録モードと、前記特定の記録材を除く他の記録材を用いて記録する第2の記録モードとのいずれのモードで記録するかを選択するモード切替手段と、前記複数の信号発生部のうちの一の信号発生部に接続する一端を有し、前記第1の記録モードにおいて前記特定の記録材についての駆動波形信号を伝送する共通の信号線と、前記共通の信号線の他端と、前記複数の駆動回路のうちの第1の駆動回路とを接続し、前記第1の記録モードにおいて前記特定の記録材についての駆動波形信号を前記第1の駆動回路に伝送する信号線と、前記共通の信号線の他端と、前記複数の駆動回路のうちの第2の駆動回路とを接続し、前記特定の記録材についての駆動波形信号を伝送する信号線とは別のものであり、前記第2の記録モードにおいて前記他の記録材についての駆動波形信号を前記第2の駆動回路に伝送する信号線と、を有することを特徴とする。ここで、「モード切替手段」は、装置本体(例えば操作パネル)に設けられ機械的あるいは電気的に切り替えるスイッチである場合や、制御手段において駆動データにもとづき第1の記録モードであるか第2の記録モードであるかを判断して切り替える場合を含む。また、「前記他の記録材についての駆動波形信号を伝送する信号線」とは、それらの信号線がすべて前記複数の他の記録材のうちのいずれか1つの記録材についての駆動波形信号を伝送する信号線である場合だけでなく(請求項2参照)、異なる各記録材についての駆動波形の種類数が、特定の記録材についての駆動波形の種類数より少ない場合などにおいて、異なる記録材についての駆動波形信号を伝送する信号線が混ざっている場合も含まれる。
