摘要:
An image recording apparatus for recording an image on a recording medium by causing a recording head having the arrangement of a plurality of recording elements to conduct its main scanning for the recording medium interrelatedly in the direction opposite to the arrangement of the recording elements comprises setting means to set the number of main scannings by the recording head; main scanning means to perform recording by plural numbers of main scannings with respect to one pixel by causing the recording head to conduct its main scannings for the same recording area of the recording medium in accordance with the number set by the setting means; and sub-scanning means to cause the recording head and the recording medium to be sub-scanned interrelatedly per main scanning in an amount smaller than the width of the arrangement of the recording elements of the recording head. Hence, even if a disabled ejection occurs in one scanning at the time of recording by a multi-scanning, the missing dot is complemented by the following scan to make it possible to obtain an image having no image defectives at all times.

Bit data of the received video signal is partially converted into a first signal representing a data sequence corresponding to a resolution of an LED head (19 in FIG. 1). The first signal is transmitted to the LED head in the form of a real printing data signal to be printed on a basic raster line in synchronism with a line timing signal. The remaining bit data of the received video signal, which are not converted into the first signal, are converted into a second signal representing of another data sequence, and then stored in a line buffer (55 in FIG. 7). The second signal stored in the line buffer is in turn transmitted to the LED head in the form of a real printing data signal to be printed on the additional raster line in synchronism with an additional line timing signal. LED head drive energy with which the the basic raster lines are printed and another LED head drive energy with which the additional raster lines are printed are set independently of each other. The LED head may be provided with such a resolution function.

An apparatus for changing the changeover pixels during an actual scan of an input medium including means for scanning across a two-dimensional surface during a non-actual scan, wherein the means for scanning includes at least two optically butt image sensors. The apparatus also includes means, operative during the non-actual scan, for determining the changing locations of changeover pixels of the image sensors, the changing locations caused at least by non-uniformities in the two-dimensional surface and correction means, operative during the actual scan, for redefining the changeover pixels in accordance with the output of the means for determining.

After an ink-jet recording head (1) with a plurality of discharging portions (Nos. 1-128) arranged is main-scanned in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the discharging portion arrangement to record a first image area, sub-scanning of the head is performed. Before the head is main-scanned to record a second image area, the sub-scanning is performed so that a few discharging portions (Nos. 1-3) on an upper edge portion of the head (1) in second main-scanning overlap part of the first image area. Ink droplets land on pixels in the overlapping portion twice for each main-scanning, and image density of the pixels in the overlapping portion is controlled by the sum number of the landing ink droplets. This enables image density unevenness of image density, a "black stripe banding" or a "white stripe banding" in a boundary of an image area being recorded in each main-scanning to be markedly reduced.

摘要:
A method of compensating the interval of a plurality of pixels to be simultaneously recorded on a recording surface. The plurality of pixels are recorded by a plurality of beams whose light intensity distributions partially overlap with one another on the recording surface and the pixel whose position should be compensated is selected. The light quantity ratio of the plurality of beams for recording the pixel is changed. Since the light quantity is changed, the peak of the density of pixel is shifted on the side of the beam of a large light quantity so that the interval between the pixels can be compensated.

A compact combined input scanner and output scanner having a frame assembly (15) with a scanner carriage (20) movably mounted for movement in a scann path along the length of the frame assembly. The scanning carriage has a read head (23) secured thereto for scanning a document to produce a digital image of at least a portion of the document, and a write head (25) secured thereto for relative movement with respect to a copy sheet and electrically connected to the read head for printing a digital image on a copy sheet. The frame assembly includes copy sheet and document transport paths, with an indexer to index a document through the document path in a direction transverse to the scan direction, and to index a copy sheet through the copy sheet path in the opposite transverse direction.

摘要:
Amounts of read position errors in subscanning direction with respect to respective scanning positions of line image sensors (CCD 1, CCD 2, CCD 3), which are provided in parallel with main scanning direction, are found in advance by a number of scanning lines. In actual scanning, output image signals from the line image sensors (CCD 1, CCD 2, CCD 3) are delayed, in respective main scanning positions of the output image signals, by respective line numbers corresponding to the respective found amounts of read position errors in the subscanning direction, and are output.
