Abstract
In a normal record mode, a non-heat mode such that a non-ejecting pulse for heating is not supplied when the image recording is not executed is set. In a continuous magnify-record mode, a heat mode such that the non-ejecting pulse for heating is supplied when the image recording is not executed is set. Thus, a non-uniformity of an image density at the start and end of the recording can be suppressed and a reduction of the life of the head can be minimized.
