    摘要: A printer is provided having a printhead of first and second elongate printhead modules and first and second printer controllers configured to receive print data and process the print data to output dot data to the printhead. The printhead modules are parallel to each other, are disposed end to end on either side of a join region, and are of different lengths. The first printer controller is arranged to output dot data to both the first and second printhead modules and the second printer controller is arranged to output dot data only to the second printhead module. One or more of the printhead modules has at least one row of print nozzles and at least two shift registers for shifting in the dot data to at least one row. Each print nozzle obtains the dot data from an element of one of the shift registers.

    摘要: An inkjet printer comprising: a printhead with a plurality of printhead IC's, each having an array of nozzles for ejecting drops of printing fluid, and drive circuitry for driving the array of nozzles; a print engine controller for sending print data to the printhead IC's; an interface for electrical communication between the print engine controller and the printhead IC's; wherein, all the printhead IC's have a common initial address except one printhead IC at the end of the printhead, the exception having a different address such that the print engine controller sends a first broadcast instruction to any printhead IC's having the different address, the first broadcast instruction instructing the printhead IC having the different address to change its address to a first unique address, the printhead IC's being interconnected such that when the exception has undated its address, the address of the adjacent printhead IC changes to the different address so that a second broadcast command changes the write address to a second unique address and so on until all the printhead IC's have unique addresses provided by the PEC.

    摘要: An inkjet printhead is provided having inkjet printhead modules arranged to successively abut one another and controllers for controlling the printhead modules. A first controller is configured to receive and process print data to generate first ink dot data and a second controller is configured to receive and process print data and at least some of the first dot data to generate second ink dot data. The first controller is arranged to output the first dot data to at least a first printhead module and the second controller. The second controller is arranged to output the second dot data to at least a second printhead module.
