摘要： A driver circuit provides a plurality of drive energies having a plurality of thermal distributions associated therewith. These thermal distributions interact with print media to form binary images having active and inactive areas. A driver control circuit is responsive to source image information to apply selected drive energies to selected heating elements. These drive energies produce interacting thermal distributions for selectively positioning boundaries between active and inactive areas.

摘要： A method for controlling binary thermal printers increases the effective output resolution of the thermal printer above the native resolution of a print head having a plurality of individual resistive heating elements arranged in a print line. An increase in the effective resolution of a binary output image is achieved by using an over-drive energy to control a relative position of a binary edge of a pixel image at a resolution that is less than the native resolution of the thermal printer. In a preferred embodiment, an under-drive energy may also be used with an adjacent over-drive energy to further control the relative position of the binary image of the pixel image. The over-drive energy is higher than a native pixel drive energy, but lower than a maximum drive energy. The native pixel drive energy produces a binary pixel image having a native area corresponding to the native resolution of the thermal printer. The binary pixel image on the print media corresponding to the heating elements to which the over-drive energy is applied are increased in area beyond the native area of the thermal printer, thereby enabling the thermal printer to realize an increase in an effective resolution of the binary image.
摘要翻译：用于控制二进制热敏打印机的方法将热敏打印机的有效输出分辨率提高到具有布置在打印行中的多个单独电阻加热元件的打印头的原始分辨率。通过使用过驱动能量以小于热敏打印机的原始分辨率的分辨率来控制像素图像的二进制边缘的相对位置来实现二进制输出图像的有效分辨率的增加。在优选实施例中，还可以使用低驱动能量与相邻的过驱动能量来进一步控制像素图像的二值图像的相对位置。过驱动能量高于原始像素驱动能量，但低于最大驱动能量。原始像素驱动能量产生具有对应于热敏打印机的原始分辨率的本地区域的二进制像素图像。与施加有过驱动能量的加热元件对应的打印介质上的二进制像素图像的面积增加超过热敏打印机的本地区域，从而使得热打印机能够实现增加有效分辨率二进制图像。

摘要： A thermal printer includes a thermal print head having a plurality of heating elements for printing dots. A source of drive pulses operates respective heating elements. Each drive pulse is modulated to provide first and second periods of the drive pulse to selectively energize the respective heating element, the first and second periods defining a selected energy level. A memory stores the modulated drive pulses and supplies respective modulated drive pulses to the respective heating elements. A measuring circuit measures a heating factor of each heating element and provides a correction factor for each heating element based on the respective measured heating factor. The correction factors are combined to the respective drive pulses to alter the first and second periods, thereby reducing variations in dots due to differences in the heating factors of the heating elements.

The printer has a printing media guide mounted as an intermediate clamshell structure to accurately position the printing media immediately adjacent the print head and platen. The printing media guide includes a nip roller and guide bar independently suspended on a spring biased, pivot plate arrangement. The printing media is centered on the supply spool, and the printer includes a read/write circuit to communicate with a profiler chip centrally mounted in the printing media roll. The printer may also include a read/write circuit to communicate with a donor profiler chip centrally mounted in the donor media roll. A constant pressure brake with a friction belt is used directly against the printing media. A spring arm latch/channel block arrangement is used to secure the printing media supply spool. An optical sensor and return motor on the supply spool are used in accurately positioning the printing media for subsequent color passes during full color printing.

摘要： A network protocol facilitates high speed transmission of raster data from a server to a client. The protocol defines a first sub-protocol for negotiating a connection and preparing to transmit a print job, and a second sub-protocol for transmitting a large quantity of raster data. The second sub-protocol allows the recipient of the data to dictate the order in which various types of data are transmitted, while allowing for efficient error correction of lost and/or corrupted packets. In one embodiment, a server is configured to transmit data to a client using the protocol of the present invention. In another embodiment, a client is configured to receive data from the server according to the protocol of the present invention. The protocol minimizes handshaking by sending a large number of data packets between acknowledgements.
