摘要： A method for determining a printhead misalignment of a printer. One step includes printing a printhead alignment test pattern including spaced-apart images at least partially aligned substantially along a printhead scan axis. A sensor is moved along the printhead scan axis at a known speed over the plurality of images. Sampled data points are obtained from the sensor at a known sampling rate. Another step includes determining the locations along the printhead scan axis of the edges of the images using the sampled data points, the known speed of the sensor, and the known sampling rate. An additional step includes calculating the printhead misalignment from the determined locations of the edges of the images.

摘要： An imaging apparatus includes a controller and a media detection device mechanically engaged with a print media. The media detection device has a movable indicator having a surface with distinct reflectance characteristics. A reflectance sensor is communicatively coupled to the controller. The reflectance sensor reads a reflectance of the surface and outputs a signal to the controller indicative of at least one characteristic of the print media.

摘要： The invention is directed to a method of printing on a print medium using an ink jet printer. The ink jet printer includes a printhead assembly having a plurality of ink emitting nozzles. 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.

摘要： An improved signal converter is provided to interface between an IEEE 1284 (parallel) bus or device and an IEEE 1394 (serial) bus or device. The converter in its preferred embodiment is designed for use with printers, in which the printer communicates with the converter through either the converter's 1284 port or its 1394 port. In one system, the converter acts as a “1284-to-1394 converter” to interface between a printer (on the 1394 port) and a host computer (on the 1284 port). In a second system, the converter acts as a “peer-to-peer 1394-to-1284 converter” to interface between a printer (on the 1284 port) and some type of 1394 compliant device (on the 1394 port), such as a digital camera. The converter includes a Link layer that is embedded within an ASIC, which preferably includes a microcontroller or a logic state machine, to facilitate asynchronous data transfer. The ASIC acts as an interpreter between the 1284 bus and the microcontroller interface of the Link layer, and is responsible for mode negotiation and mode operation as defined in the IEEE 1284 standard. In the 1284-to-1394 converter mode of operation, the converter provides a 1284 controller in a “slave” mode, thereby allowing the 1394 side of the microcontroller to act as the controlling “master” of the converter system. In the peer-to-peer 1394-to-1284 converter mode of operation, the converter provides a 1284 controller which operates as a “master” for the printer's slave controller, thereby initiating and controlling the flow of data on the 1284 interface. Since the converter is the master of the 1284 interface, it is also responsible for reading the alerts from the printer, once the printer is “armed” to provide such alerts.

摘要： Apparatus and method controls and varies a spacing between multiple print elements, such as ink jet print orifices, in a printing system. A signal representing at least one of an advance speed of a print medium in a feed direction in the printing system and an approximate drying time of an ink after being applied to the print medium is supplied to a controller. A device, responsive to the controller, varies the spacing between at least two print elements on the basis of at least one of the advance speed of the print medium and the approximate drying time of the ink.
