Abstract
The array pitch `d` between the control electrode strips with respect to the conveyed direction of the recording medium is determined based on the order of applying operating voltage, the resolution `x` of the image with respect to the conveyed direction, and the number `m` of the control electrode strips. Illustratively, in order to obtain a particular resolution `x` with respect to the conveyed direction of the paper, by taking into consideration the reduction in dot interval or conveyed distance by the conveyance of the recording paper, the array pitch `d` between the control electrode strips with respect to the conveyed direction of the recording medium is set as the dot distance produced when the paper is not moved, plus the above reduction. This can be written as d=(n+1/m)/x where n is a natural number.
