Conventionally, a liquid jet recording device has been one of the excellent recording methods in terms of non-impact recording, low noise, high density, high speed recording, and easy colorization. However, in liquid jet recording devices, changes in the outside air temperature affect the temperature of the liquid used for recording, and this change in temperature of the liquid sometimes has an adverse effect on recording. As shown in FIG. 1, the viscosity of the liquid used in the liquid jet recording method increases significantly as the temperature decreases. As a result, the diameter of droplets formed by being ejected from the orifice may become smaller, satellites may be formed, and the ejected liquid may cause splash. Furthermore, the orifice sometimes became clogged with the thickened liquid.

A low voltage V L with an energy level insufficient to form flying droplets is constantly applied to the collector side of the droplet. 312 is a diode connected to the emitter side of the transistor 310, and 311 is a transistor that turns on when a printing pulse is applied to the base from a control circuit (not shown), so that a high voltage VH capable of forming flying droplets is constantly applied. is being applied.

Next, the operation of the control circuit configured as described above will be explained. Now, when the temperature of liquid such as ink falls below a certain temperature that must be heated, the thermistor 302
resistance increases, and the potential on the minus input side of the comparator 308 becomes lower than the potential on the plus input side. Therefore, the output of the comparator 308 is always at a high level below that temperature, and is provided as one input to the AND gate 309.

On the other hand, when a pulse generated by the pulse generator 307 with a certain constant period is applied to the one shot circuit 306, a pulse with a certain constant width is outputted from the one shot circuit 306 depending on the values of the thermistor 301, resistor 303, and capacitor 305. The pulse width of the output pulse of this one-shot circuit 306 is
It changes depending on the change in the resistance value of the thermistor 301 due to temperature change. Therefore, as the temperature decreases, the resistance value of the thermistor 301 increases, so the pulse width of the output pulse from the one-shot circuit 306 also increases, and this is given as the other input to the AND gate 309. Yotsute and Gate 30
9 outputs a pulse that is longer at lower temperatures depending on the temperature and is applied to the transistor 310 only when the temperature of the liquid drops below a certain level at which it is necessary to heat the liquid. Therefore, during that pulse width, transistor 310 is turned on and a low voltage V L of an energy level that cannot form flying droplets is applied to heater 313 to heat the liquid. When the liquid reaches a temperature sufficient for printing, a printing pulse is applied to transistor 311, which turns on and generates a high voltage that can form flying droplets.
V H is applied to the heater and liquid jetting occurs.

Below a certain temperature, the liquid passes through the heater 31.
