摘要:
A writing system, comprising marking means (1) for producing visible markings (10) on a medium (2), for example on paper, characterized by sensing means (4) for sensing markings (10) produced on the medium (2), detecting means (5,6) responsive to the sensing means (4) for detecting if the quality of the markings produced on the medium deviates from a predetermined quality for said markings, and correcting means (6,7) responsive to the detecting means (5,6) for initiating a correction procedure wherein the markings which deviate from a predetermined quality are corrected such that the corrected markings have the predetermined quality or wherein a user is alarmed that the quality of the markings deviates from the predetermined quality.
摘要:
A method of monitoring and controlling the quality of pen markings on a plotting medium by qualifying each pen is based on optically sensing across a sample line drawn on an actual medium. During each subsequent plotting task of a particular pen which has been qualified, an actual line plot is optically sensed by means of a sensor (82) across a selected point to make a comparison with the sample line. If the actual line plot is unsatisfactory, the deficient pen is replaced and the plot is restarted from the beginning, or retraced from the last good verification, or is stopped to allow the user to select an appropriate corrective procedure.
