摘要： Method and system for detecting the presence and determining characteristics of objects such as ink cartridges in printing systems. The system includes a signal transceiver capable of transmitting signals using a photo emitter and capable of receiving signals sent from the objects using a photo detector, and a monitoring system coupled to the signal transceiver for processing received signals to determine characteristics of the objects. Further, the photo emitter is at least partially covered by a first optical polarizer and the objects include a reflective surface that is at least partially covered by a second optical polarizer. When signals are transmitted from the signal transceiver to the objects, the second optical polarizer allows the signals to reach the reflective surface and reflect back towards the signal transceiver if the orientations of the first and second optical polarizers are substantially the same.

摘要： A method and apparatus for checkerboard printing by a liquid ink printing apparatus. A liquid ink printing apparatus, such as a thermal ink jet printer, includes circuitry for reducing video data clocking in checkerboard printing by controlling the odd and even vertical print strokes of a reciprocating printhead mounted to a scanning carriage. The amount of bitmapped imaged data, also known as video data, is reduced by one half or more and sent to the printhead for printing checkerboard patterns. Reduction of the bitmapped image data is accomplished by a data packer circuit which selects certain bits of the bitmapped image data for printing by the printhead in a checkerboard pattern. At the printhead, the bitmapped image is reconstructed by a data unpacker circuit to cause selective ejection of ink from the appropriate nozzles of the printhead. Two or more passes information are printed to complete printing of the bitmapped image data.

摘要： A sheet detector having an emitter (lamp), detector (phototransistor), operational amplifier and an RC network. As contamination is deposited on the emitter or detector, a feedback loop provides more drive to the lamp providing sufficient drive to hold the emitter of the phototransistor at its desired stage. As a first copy paper is passed between the emitter and detector, the RC network of a common mode operational amplifier detects a change and generates an output. As a subsequent sheet enters the system, the transmissibility abruptly changes again causing the common mode operational amplifier to provide a subsequent pulse indicating the presence of a multiple feed.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method that enables image quality of a printed image to be maintained by reducing unintended variations in drop volume, through the adjustment of ink drop ejecting conditions depending on the amount of ink remaining in an ink tank chamber or reservoir, and/or the ink demand for printing an image. The method of printing of the present invention comprises: providing a printhead in fluid communication with an ink chamber or reservoir; detecting at least one parameter related to an amount of negative pressure provided to the printhead; and adjusting an ink drop ejecting condition of the printhead as a function of the parameter so that an amount of variation in size of ejected ink drop is reduced.

摘要： A liquid ink printer, depositing ink drops to form an image, including a pagewidth printbar, movable to print a complete image when defective nozzles of the printbar are identified. A positioning device, coupled to the pagewidth printbar, positions the printbar at a plurality of discrete locations, to move a functioning nozzle to the location in the image where the defective nozzle should deposit drops of ink. Defective nozzles are identified by the printer control mechanism and a user is given the option to fix the image through a user interface where the printer is directed to fill in the missing information of the image. Defective nozzles can also be identified by printing a test pattern which identifies to a user which of the nozzles are non-functioning. The user then inputs this information to the printer.

摘要： A full width array raster imaging interface for an ink jet printer. The raster imaging interface transforms raster information for printing by a thermal ink jet full width array printbar. The transformation includes dividing scan lines of the raster information into segments corresponding to the number of die in a printbar and to delay the printing of each subsequent segment by one scan line. The transformation is necessary since the printbar prints a single line of pixels in a burst of several banks or segments having a plurality of nozzles. The banks of nozzles are fired sequentially and the nozzles within a bank are fired simultaneously.

摘要： An ink jet printer that includes a printhead for ejecting ink droplets, an ink container for supplying ink to the printhead, and an ink level sensor for measuring the level of ink in the ink container, includes an ink level sensor activator. The ink level sensor activator causes the ink level sensor to measure the level of ink in the ink container after the printhead has ejected a predetermined quantity of ink. The ink level sensor activator records the quantity of ink ejected by the printhead onto the print medium by measuring to the number of droplets of ink ejected, and/or by determining the number of pixels in an image to be printed for which ink is to be ejected. If the quantity of ink ejected has a predetermined threshold, the ink level sensor measures the quantity of ink in the ink container.

摘要： A liquid ink printer, depositing liquid ink to form an image, on a recording medium, including a printing dimension defining a maximum print area to receive the liquid ink, moving along a recording medium path. The printer includes a printbar, including a plurality of nozzles, aligned substantially perpendicular to the recording medium path, to deposit a swath of ink on the recording medium during movement of the recording medium along the recording medium path, a recording medium transport, disposed adjacent the plurality of nozzles, to move the recording medium along the recording medium path, and an encoder system, spaced from the recording medium transport, to determine the position of the recording medium transport with respect to the array of nozzles. The printbar includes a mounting substrate to mount a plurality of printhead dies including the nozzles and an optical reader of the encoder system. The nozzles and optical reader are aligned and the encoder system accurately determines the position of a belt of the recording medium transport with respect to the nozzles.
