Disclosed herein is a driving method of a liquid drop ejecting head in
which an oscillatory wave is imparted to a liquid accommodated in a
pressure chamber using an electromechanical transducer, which is driven
by applying a predetermined driving waveform to the electromechanical
transducer, thereby discharging a liquid drop from a nozzle to record an
image. The driving method comprising: detecting an environmental
temperature, and expanding and/or contracting the driving waveform to be
applied to the electromechanical transducer, in a voltage axial direction
and a time axial direction, in accordance with the detected environmental
temperature, and applying the resulting driving waveform to the
electromechanical transducer. Also disclosed is adjusting the waveform of
a reverberation adjustor portion of the driving waveform, which adjusts a
residual oscillation of the liquid, in accordance with the detected
environmental temperature.
