摘要： An ink cartridge 10 of the invention has a sensor 17 to detect the presence or the absence of ink. A control device 22 of a printer 20 transmits a detect ion command and a specif ied detection condition to the ink cartridge 10 by radio communication. In response to input of the detection command into the ink cartridge 10, a sensor controller 19 actuates and vibrates the sensor 17 under the specified detection condition. The sensor 17 is attached to a resonance chamber 18, which is disposed in an ink chamber 16. The frequency of the vibration of the sensor 17 is thus regulated by a resonance frequency of the resonance chamber 18. The resonance frequency is varied by the presence or the absence of ink in the resonance chamber 18. Detection of the resonance frequency accordingly specifies the presence or the absence of ink in the resonance chamber 18 and thereby the remaining quantity of ink in the ink cartridge 10. The control device 22 of the printer 20 receives the result of the detection together with the detection condition from the ink cartridge 10, and checks whether or not the detection has been carried out under the specified detection condition, in order to verify the validity of the detection result. This technique of the invention is generally applicable to a cartridge that holds a recording material used for printing therein, for example, an ink or a toner, and detects the state of the recording material. The arrangement flexibly handles the change in detection condition and ensures the sufficiently high reliability of the detection.

摘要： A plurality of small loop antenna cells (61,62 and 63) are magnetically coupled to an antenna coil of a non-contact type data carrier. In the plurality of small loop antenna cells, the directions of the magnetic moments of the signals transmitted to the non-contact type data carrier are opposite to each other, the sum of the magnetic moments generated from all the small loop antenna cells (61 to 63) is zero and a conductor forming a short ring pattern 67 is provided collectively for the plurality of small loop antenna cells. Thus, imbalance caused between the small loop antenna cells (61 to 63) can be compensated for by the short ring pattern (67).

Next, the client system transmits device information for which the device model can be specified and use environment information indicative of an operation environment of the device to the user support server system. Finally, using the information transmitted to the user support server system, the device support information for supporting operation of the device that the client system has is generated, and the device support information is transmitted to the client system.

摘要： In an ink jet printer with a print head having two nozzle rows arranged at different positions in a main scanning direction, that is, a 0 th nozzle row and a 1 st nozzle row, with regard to each color ink, common driving waveforms are used to drive both the 0 th nozzle row and the 1 st nozzle row. The driving waveforms are periodically and successively output in a specific cycle where a plurality of driving waveforms are allocated to each pixel. A specific relation between the driving waveforms and a pixel is regulated individually for the respective nozzle rows using two latch signals. For example, in the case of nozzles included in the 0 th nozzle row, dots are created in a certain pixel with driving signals S1 through S4. In the case of nozzles included in the 1 st nozzle row, on the other hand, dots are created in a certain pixel with driving signals S3 through S6. Regulating the interval between the two latch signals enables the positions of dots in the main scanning direction formed by the respective nozzle rows to be finely adjusted in the unit of a driving signal. This arrangement effectively prevents a positional misalignment of dots in the main scanning direction.

摘要： In a multi-level printer that enables a plurality of dots to be created in each pixel, the technique of the present invention reduces the unevenness of density and the roughness due to localization of dots in each pixel. The principle of the present invention is applicable to, for example, an ink jet printer that enables ink to be ejected successively in each pixel in the course of the main scan. Multiple tones are expressible in each pixel corresponding to the number of dots created therein. A dot formation pattern is set in such a manner that the center of all dots to be created in each pixel is substantially coincident with the center of the pixel. This arrangement effectively interferes with the localization of dots in each pixel and thereby reduces the unevenness of density and the roughness. In the case of bi-directional recording, this arrangement effectively prevents the misalignment of dot forming positions in a forward pass of the main scan with those in a backward pass of the main scan, thus attaining the high quality printing.
