Abstract: A system of classifying the type of media to be printed upon in a printing mechanism is provided for use in an inkjet or other type mechanism where media identification is desired without requiring any special markings to be made on the media. A method includes the steps of optically scanning a portion of said media to generate a reflectance value, and performing a Fourier transform on the reflectance value to determine the frequency magnitude of the reflectance value. In an analyzing step, the frequency magnitude of the reflectance value is analyzed through comparison with known values for different types of media to classify said media as one of said different types of media. At least four different types of media may be distinguished and classified, including two different types of transparencies, glossy photo media, and plain paper. A printing mechanism constructed to implement this method is also provided.

Abstract: A plurality of ejection openings of an ink-jet head are divided into four blocks and ink ejection is performed for each block. An output of a photosensor which depends upon a number of ejected ink droplets interrupting light at a photosensor is sampled. On a basis of the sensor output, judgement is made whether ejection failure is present of the relevant block. This in ejection openings process is performed sequentially for other blocks. By this, even when a given rate of error is present in detecting precision of the photosensor, since overall number of ejection openings for which the detection is made is smaller, the number of faulty ejection openings which cannot be detected can be made smaller.

Abstract translation: 喷墨头的多个喷射口被分成四个块，并且对每个块执行喷墨。 对光传感器的输出取决于在光传感器上中断光的喷出墨滴的数量。 在传感器输出的基础上，判断是否存在相关块的喷射故障。 对于其他块，顺序地执行喷射开口处理。 由此，即使在光传感器的检测精度中存在给定的误差率的情况下，由于进行检测的喷射口的总数较少，因此可以使不能检测出的错误的喷射口的数量变小。
