摘要:
An image forming apparatus has a plurality of printing apparatuses arranged in a direction of a print medium feed direction and is adapted to cooperate with each other to print the same or corresponding pages. The image forming apparatus comprises memory means installed in each of the printing apparatuses for storing a plurality of pages of image data, means, when a printing operation is interrupted, for determining the page following a page that has completely been printed before the interruption by the printing apparatus located most downstream in the print medium feed direction as a print resumption page information, the print resumption page information representing the same pages from which the printing operation is to be resumed, and means installed in each of the printing apparatuses for resuming the printing operation beginning with those image data among the plurality of pages of image data stored in the memory means which corresponds to the print resumption page information.

An image forming system is provided that uses printing apparatus groups each consisting of a plurality of printing apparatuses. The printing apparatuses hold print heads each provided with nozzles arrayed in a predetermined direction, are arranged two-dimensionally to cooperate with each other in printing rasters extending in the predetermined direction. Two printing apparatus groups are arranged in a medium conveying direction. In forming images in areas divided in the predetermined direction, the printing apparatuses or print heads located on the upstream side and the downstream side are appropriately set to participate in the printing of the same raster. In printing for one divided area, when only one print head is used to reduce electric power consumption or when two print heads are used for faster printing or for higher print quality, a selection is made of a combination of printing apparatuses or print heads that considers the printed image quality.

Time for which an ejection port surface of a print head has been exposed to the exterior since the end of the last cleaning operation (T0) is predicted and accumulated as an accumulated exposure time. A cleaning timing is set to be a timing (TA) when the accumulated exposure time coincides with a set time (Ta) set according to the ambient temperature and humidity of an area in which a label printer is installed. In principle, a cleaning operation is performed at the cleaning timing. However, when the cleaning timing comes during the current consecutive printing operation, the cleaning operation is not performed during the current consecutive printing operation but at a time (TA1) before the start of the current consecutive printing operation or a time (TA2) after the end of the current consecutive printing operation.

In an inkjet printing apparatus using plural line type inkjet printing heads for one color ink, and forming an image by dividing image data into pieces corresponding to the plural printing heads, complementary printing operation using a simple configuration is achieved without causing a substantial decrease in printing speed even when one printing head has a poorly ejecting nozzle. When a one printing head (104) has a poorly ejecting nozzle, a corresponding nozzle of another printing head (an auxiliary printing head, for example) complements printing operation assigned to the poorly ejecting nozzle. At this time, the same piece of divided image data is fed to the one and the other printing heads. Then, the printing operation of the one printing head is made invalid only at the timing of driving the poorly ejecting nozzle, and the printing operation of the second printing head is made valid only at the timing of driving the corresponding nozzle.

When a plurality of sets of data items are stored in corresponding frames on respective pages for printing, a data processing device confirms the size of each frame and, for each page, confirms the size of data to be stored in each frame. In addition, a check is made if data of each of the plurality of data items overflows the corresponding frame. If an overflow is detected, a predetermined warning message is issued before performing a printing. When print data stored in a database is processed, one print page at a time, the processing described above allows a user identify a frame overflow of print data on any page before printing.

The present invention provides a print module, an information processing device, a print system, a print unit, an ink supply unit, a print method and program, all capable of quickly and easily meeting demands for a print medium size change, particularly to increased sizes, while at the same time coping with demands for faster printing speed. To this end, this invention constructs the print heads (811) in the form of print modules (M) so that their ink systems and signal systems are independent among the print modules. Each print module is set with identity information for its identification.

An image forming device, wherein, even when a main body upper part (100) is open to the maximum, a part (102a) of its side wall (bottom wall of a recessed part (102)) is overlapped with a manual paper feed tray (18), whereby, even if there is a slight variation in assembly of the manual paper feed tray, the manual paper feed tray is not damaged when the main body upper part is opened and closed.

Disclosed is a liquid ejection head capable of performing a stable ejection operation at high speed even when thermal expansion of a valve supporting member (11) occurs during liquid ejection. This is because the liquid ejection head allows the thermal expansion to influence supported valves (6) only to a small extent, and a highly accurate and stable adhesion state to be obtained. To this end, first holes (19), second holes (18) and slits (20) are provided in the valve supporting member.
摘要:
An inkjet recording ink is composed of a high-molecular dispersant, a water-insoluble colorant, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water. The water-insoluble colorant is at least one colorant selected from the group consisting of C.I. Solvent Yellow 21, 42, 79, 82, 83:1, 88 and 151, at least one colorant selected from the group consisting of C.I. Solvent Red 8, 49, 83:1, 91, 127 and 218, at least one colorant selected from the group consisting of C.I. Solvent Black 3, 27, 29 and 45, or at least one colorant selected from the group consisting of C.I. Solvent Blue 25, 38, 44, 67 and 70. The high-molecular dispersant is a block copolymer comprising at least one hydrophobic block and at least one hydrophilic block, which have been obtained by polymerizing vinyl ethers as monomers, respectively. The inkjet recording ink can stably record images of high fastness and excellent quality over a long period even under severe environmental conditions.
