ABSTRACT:
To start up an ink jet recording device in a short period of time, an AC heater section is energized to melt hot melt ink so that a solid state ink becomes a molten state ink, and a DC heater section is used to maintain hot melt ink in a molten state. The AC heater section is connected a socket that is provided in a recording head movable in a main scanning direction. A plug connected to an AC power source is provided in the lower cover. The socket engages the plug when the recording head is in a home position where the recording head is disposed when the device is powered. The DC heater section is connected to a DC power source at all times when the device is in use. High thermal output generated by the AC heater section melts the ink and heats up to the temperature suitable for printing in a short period of time. The DC heater section maintains the ink at the temperature suitable for printing.
