Abstract
A recording apparatus comprises a recorder for receiving data from a data supplier connected through a control signal line for interface and recording an image onto a recording medium; an interface signal setting circuit which always receives an electric power from a power supply source irrespective of whether the image recording by the recorder is executed or not, thereby setting the level of the control signal line to the low level when the image recording is not executed; and a power switch for setting the mode to perform the image recording when the switch is ON and setting the mode not to perform the image recording when the switch is OFF. The recorder causes a state change in the ink by using a thermal energy which is generated from an electrothermal converter, thereby emitting an ink droplet to the recording medium and recording the image.
