Abstract
An ink-jet recording apparatus includes: a conveyor conveying a sheet; a recording head including first nozzles, second nozzles, first driving elements corresponding to the first nozzles respectively, and second driving elements corresponding to the second nozzles respectively; a controller; and a head driving circuit connected to the controller by first and second signal lines and a third signal line through which a clock signal is transmitted, and connected electrically to the first driving elements and the second driving elements. Each of the first and second driving elements is driven to jet an ink droplet from one of the first and second nozzles when driving voltage is applied from the head driving circuit. The controller repeatedly executes conveyance processing for conveying the sheet with the conveyor and recording processing in which pattern signals indicating patterns of the driving voltage are outputted serially and a jetting instruction signal is outputted serially.
