Disclosed is a preferably transparent removably mounted cover plate for covering the top opening or printing point area in a printer, e.g. a needle printer, which serves to reduce noise and to prevent the introduction of foreign substances and dust. Of particular advantage is the inclusion on the cover plate of paper guide elements, a switch actuating cam which acts on a switch to shut off the machine when the cover plate is removed or swung out, and a paper tear-off edge.

According to one embodiment, a tablet printing apparatus includes: a conveyor belt configured to convey a tablet; a print head configured to perform printing on the tablet conveyed by the conveyor belt; and a belt-position detector configured to detect the position of the conveyor belt in a direction crossing the conveying direction of the tablet in a horizontal plane. The conveyor belt includes a plurality of holes arranged in a row along the conveying direction of the tablet to hold the tablet. The belt-position detector includes an imaging device configured to capture an image of two or more of the holes; and an image processing device configured to detect the position of the conveyor belt in the crossing direction based on the image captured by the imaging device.

A method and print system for stopping the print system are disclosed. The print system includes a control unit for controlling the printing of sheets, a print engine for printing recording material on the sheets, an input tray for holding sheets to be printed upon, and a finishing unit. The method includes scheduling printing and finishing of a plurality of sheets, including sending a sheet request from the control unit to the finishing unit, and upon receiving the sheet request, the finishing unit provides an earliest expected arrival time of a sheet at the finishing unit to the control unit. When this time is too huge, operator intervention is required and the finishing unit reports an error to the control unit, after a previous sheet has been deposited in the finishing unit, and the control units stops the print engine before the sheet leaves the input tray.

An inkjet recording device includes a carriage including a print head for firing ink droplets onto a recording medium from a nozzle; a carriage driving unit configured to drive the carriage; an openable cover configured to cover a moving area of the carriage; a cover lock member configured to lock the cover to a housing; a lock control unit configured to control lock and release of the lock of the cover by the cover lock member; a lock releasing unit configured to request the lock control unit to release the lock; and a carriage power control unit configured to control opening and closing of a power supplying path to the carriage driving unit. The lock control unit causes the cover lock member to release the lock if the lock releasing unit is operated and the carriage power control unit opens the power supplying path to the carriage driving unit.
摘要:
An inkjet printer having an array of nozzles from which ink drops are emitted further includes a mechanism adapted to detect fluid levels in an ink supply tank to the inkjet printer while the printer is in idle mode, and shut down the printer when ink usage exceeds a predetermined volume.

An ink jet recording apparatus having an ink recording head detachable therefrom, characterized in that power supply device to the ink recording head is shut off when the recording head is detached therefrom.
摘要:
A printer is provided with at least one detachable print unit provided with a driven unit which is driven to print an image on a recording sheet. The condition of operation of the print unit is detected and the detected condition of operation of the print unit is stored in a data storage device that allows the updating of its contents. Thus, various kinds of information useful for the quality control of the printer and the print unit can be readily and surely collected and the collected information is stored in the print unit. The information useful for the quality control of the printer and the print unit can be read out from the data storage device after the print unit has been removed from the printer.
摘要:
A copying machine in which an image scanner reciprocates along a main-scanning direction to read an original image, and a recording head of a printer also reciprocates along the main-scanning direction to record an image. To avoid slanting the recorded image by the reciprocating motion of the recording head, and to achieve high-speed printing, nozzles of the recording head are aligned in a line slanted with respect to a subscanning direction. Thus, image data read by the image scanner is real-time converted to a recording signal and supplied as a nozzle driving signal to the recording head.
