Abstract
A recording head driving method in an ink jet recording device including a plurality of recording heads each having a plurality of nozzles, the plurality of nozzles in each of the recording heads being grouped into a plurality of blocks. The plurality of blocks are divisionally driven, and a drive timing of at least one of the recording heads is shifted from drive timings of the other recording heads. Accordingly, a peak power consumption can be suppressed to thereby reduce the capacity of a power source and reduce the overall size of the ink jet recording device.
