摘要： An improved ink jet printer is provided in which its carrier position and velocity information is derived from a linear optical encoder mounted on the carrier, which produces the position information uses a quadrature output signal, and one of the channels of that output signal is used to determine “critical edge” transitions used to provide the actual print fire timing. Two adjacent encoder periods are needed to determine the acceleration of the carrier. By measuring the time intervals of these two encoder periods, and measuring the difference between these time intervals, the present invention provides correction logic that can determine if the second of the two measurements has been corrupted by motion not relative to carrier speed across the print media. If the difference between the previous two periods is greater than a preset maximum, the correction logic will limit the new encoder time (i.e., for purposes of fire pulse width calculation) to the old encoder time, plus or minus the preset limit. In this manner, any significantly large errors in the critical edges of the encoder signals can be temporarily ignored for the fire pulse calculations of the next encoder period, at least within the programmable preset limits. This is particularly useful during printing operations during which the carrier should be traveling at a relatively constant velocity, wherein the false edges that may occur otherwise would significantly degrade the placement of printed pels on the print media if not for the automatic self-correction provided by the present invention.
摘要翻译：提供了一种改进的喷墨打印机，其中其载体位置和速度信息是从安装在载体上的线性光学编码器导出的，其产生位置信息使用正交输出信号，并且该输出信号的通道之一用于确定用于提供实际打印定时的“临界边缘”转换。需要两个相邻的编码器周期来确定载波的加速度。通过测量这两个编码器周期的时间间隔并测量这些时间间隔之间的差异，本发明提供了校正逻辑，其可以确定两个测量中的第二测量是否已经被不是相对于打印介质上的载波速度的运动所破坏。如果前两个周期之间的差值大于预设的最大值，则校正逻辑将将新的编码器时间（即，为了发射脉冲宽度计算的目的）限制到旧的编码器时间，加上或减去预设的限制。以这种方式，至少在可编程预设限制内，对于下一个编码器周期的发射脉冲计算，编码器信号的临界边缘中的任何显着大的误差可被暂时忽略。这在打印操作期间特别有用，在该操作期间，载体应以相对恒定的速度行进，其中否则可能出现的错误边缘将显着地降低打印介质上印刷图像的位置，如果不是由自动自校正本发明。

摘要： The specification describes a printer containing an angled printer cartridge and a method for printing using the cartridge. The printer is an ink jet printer which includes a print media movement device for moving a print media having through the printer along a print media path and a printer cartridge attached to the printer at an angle between 0° and 90° relative to an axis perpendicular to an axis along the direction of the media path through the printer. The printer cartridge has a length sufficient to print substantially the entire width of the printed width across the print media and contains a plurality of printheads along at least a portion of the length thereof, each printhead having one or more nozzle arrays. During a printing operation, only a portion of the printheads along the length of the cartridge are activated thus, reducing power consumption during printing. Angling the printer cartridge also has the advantage of increasing the print quality without increasing the density of nozzles in the nozzle array of the printhead.

摘要： Method and apparatus for inhibiting electrically induced ink build-up on flexible, integrated circuit connecting leads, for thermal ink jet printer heads is disclosed, and relates to a thermal ink jet printer having a print head comprising an integrated circuit chip, a nozzle plate including a plurality of ink ejecting nozzles therein and overlying a heater resistor for each of the nozzles. Each of the associated heater resistors has associated active circuitry on the chip. On the chip there are a plurality of auxiliary functions requiring power, for example a substrate (silicon chip) heater, a shift register containing print head identification, fault detection circuit connections, etc. The machine includes a power supply and printer control logic, and gate means responsive to the logic upon sending a control signal to effect operation of at least one of the auxiliary functions to energize the function by gating the power supply to the integrated circuit chip and the associated auxiliary function only for a duration corresponding to necessary energization of the function. Because electrically induced ink build-up (EIIBU) usually occurs only between adjacent lands or traces of the TAB or flexible printed circuit that have voltage differentials, functions associated with those lands or traces are the functions which are gated to power from the power supply.

摘要： An apparatus addresses ink jet heating elements based on image data to cause ejection of ink droplets toward a print medium. The apparatus includes a controller for generating address signals, power signals, and first and second bank signals. The first and second bank signals, which are carried on first and second bank lines, alternate between on and off states. The first bank signal is off when the second bank signal is on, and the second bank signal is off when the first bank signal is on. The apparatus has m address lines and n power lines connected to the controller for carrying the address signals and the power signals. A print head has m×n number of first driver circuits, each of which is connected to the first bank line and to a corresponding one of the m address lines. The first driver circuits enable flow of a first driving current when the first bank signal and the address signal are simultaneously on on the first bank line and the corresponding address line. The print head has m×n number of second driver circuits, each of which is connected to the second bank line and to a corresponding one of the m address lines. The second driver circuits enable flow of a second driving current when the second bank signal and the address signal are simultaneously on on the second bank line and the corresponding address line. First heating elements are each connected to a corresponding one of the first driver circuits and to one of the n power lines. A first heating element is activated by the first driving current when the power signal is on on the connected power line and the corresponding first driver circuit enables flow of the first driving current. Second heating elements are each connected to a corresponding one of the second driver circuits and to one of the n power lines. A second heating element is activated by the second driving current when the power signal is on on the connected power line and the corresponding second driver circuit enables flow of the second driving current.

Ink is jetted onto the print medium from the printhead assembly during a first mode of operation using a first available set of the nozzles. Ink is jetted onto the print medium from the printhead assembly during a second mode of operation using a second available set of the nozzles, dependent upon a physical operating parameter of the ink jet printer. The second available set of nozzles has a smaller number of the nozzles than the first available set of nozzles.

摘要： A printing system and method is provided that compacts bitmap print data by determining, per each swath of a page to be printed, the beginning and ending points of each "area" containing pels that will actually be printed within the swath, the locations of the starting and ending slices of each of these areas, and determining "voids" containing a sufficient minimum number of consecutive blank slices within the swath. A void is identified when a number of consecutive blank slices exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The printhead of the printing system will be turned off at the beginning of the void, and then turned back on as it approaches the end of the void, which would correspond to the beginning of the next area to be printed.
