Abstract

A charge deflection type ink jet printing apparatus adjusts, in detecting and controlling a deflection of charged ink droplets, the size (height or width) of characters with utmost accuracy by varying the number of guard droplets. In combination with the adjustment by the variation in the number of guard drops, the direction of ejection of an ink jet head and/or the position of a deflection detecting electrode may be adjusted.
