Image forming apparatus and image forming method

摘要: An ink jet printer 20 of the present invention can carry out a head check on whether or not is normally ejected from nozzles 23 , by having voltage detection circuit 54 detect electrical change resulting ejecting charged droplets onto an receiving area 52 . When instructed to do borderfree printing, has application 50 charge in print 24 and ejects within where recording sheet S present. The also carries determines front edge based position no longer detects voltage. Thus, edge, side edges, rear directly using ink. Determination medium thus secured with greater accuracy than any method which anything other liquid used indirectly determined.
