摘要:
The single channel encoder comprises a transparent scale (2) in which the scale divisions are defined by transverse opaque lines (2a) having a width greater than the width between the opaque lines. An emitter holder (14) and a detector holder (13) snap together clamping an aperture plate (12) therebetween. The aperture plate has a slit (12a) therein which is disposed in the optical path between the emitter (11) and the detector (10). Projections functioning as scale supports on the opposite sides of the emitter holder and the detector holder are disposed in longitudinally spaced positions and define a gap therebetween for engaging the outside edges of the encoder scale (2) outside of the opaque transverse lines (2a) to precisely position the tape in the optical path for maintaining a constant gap between the encoder scale and the aperture plate.
摘要:
Thermal inkjet printhead temperature control is provided in a temperature control system responsive to printhead temperature, which in the presence of printhead overheating selectively causes the printhead to stand idle, or, if multiple nozzles are available, shifts to a nozzle which is not overheated, which in the event a nozzle is unused for some time and the dye transport agent may have evaporated leaving a viscous plug in the nozzle employs warm up pulsing and/or nozzle spitting to clear the nozzles, and which when the temperature of the nozzle is below acceptable printing temperatures, nozzle pulsing for warm up and/or nozzle spitting to clear the nozzles, all such decisions and actions being provided in advance of beginning a printing operation.
