Zusammenfassung:An inkjet recording apparatus includes a heating unit configured to produce thermal energy for discharging ink, and two electrodes which electrically connect with each other through the ink. Voltage is applied between the two electrodes, and a current value flowing through the ink is measured. Whether the ink is discharged or not is determined by determining whether the current changes when the heating unit is driven.
