    摘要: A printing apparatus having a printhead for printing by discharging liquid on a printing medium performs a toggle preliminary discharge operation of alternately performing discharge from main nozzles and dummy nozzles in order to establish a good discharge state of the liquid from the main nozzles. The main nozzles and the dummy nozzles communicate with liquid chambers, which in turn communicate with a common liquid chamber. A control circuit for the printhead and a control method are also provided.

    摘要: A printhead has a common liquid chamber which receives a liquid, a plurality of main nozzles which align at a predetermined interval on the two sides of the common liquid chamber along the longitudinal direction of the common liquid chamber and used for printing, a plurality of dummy nozzles which align on the two sides of the main nozzles along their array direction and are not used for printing, and a plurality of liquid chambers which communicate with the common liquid chamber while the main and dummy nozzles are open in the liquid chambers. A printing apparatus which drives and controls the printhead for discharging a liquid from the main nozzles and printing on a printing medium includes a toggle preliminary discharge data generation block (77) which alternately switches between the main nozzles and the dummy nozzles every column serving as the driving cycle of all nozzles for the main nozzles and the dummy nozzles. Toggle preliminary discharge operation of alternately performing discharge from the main nozzles and the dummy nozzles every column is executed and controlled as preliminary discharge operation of performing preliminary discharge from the main nozzles and the dummy nozzles by using the toggle preliminary discharge data generation block (77) in order to make a good state of the discharge state of the liquid from the main nozzles.

    摘要: Provided is a print position control method whereby displacement of a print position in a wide range can be corrected very accurately, without reducing a printing speed or increasing a manufacturing cost. Thus, a printing apparatus includes: a first correction unit, for correcting a print position at accuracy equal to the resolution of the printing apparatus; and a second correction unit, for correcting the print position at accuracy higher than the resolution and in the range of an area that corresponds to one pixel of the resolution. With this arrangement, the print position displacement in a wide range equal to or greater than one pixel can be corrected by the first correction unit, and a print position displacement smaller than one pixel can be corrected by the second correction unit. Therefore, correction of a print position displacement in a wide range is enabled at a higher accuracy.
