摘要:
A color image control system and method are provided for improving the image control of printing systems, including digital front-end processors, color printers and post-finishing system. This automatic image control system, including measurement and calibration, by registering the captured reproduced document with the extracted virtual device document and automatically locating a plurality of regions in which to measure captured color values, using colorimetric measurements of an aim reproduction of the document at these same region positions, and finally relating the captured color values, the colorimetric color values, and the virtual device color values to create the an accurate color mapping. One embodiment of this method combines a global regression polynomial with local mapping refinement.

An improved printer apparatus includes a print head having a series of point-like radiation sources, such as LED's, arranged in a row for exposing a recording medium. Logic means is provided for determining which of the point-like radiation sources are to be selected for energization. A current driver means responsive to the logic means provides electrical current to the radiation sources selected. A current driver means include a current mirror having a master circuit for generating a reference current and a plurality of slave circuits for providing respective driver currents to the radiation sources selected for energization. The master circuit includes a resistor of the type that at least prior to adjustment permits for substantially continuous adjustment of driver current over a range of resistance values.Two independent power supplies are provided to the print head. One power supply provides electrical energy for the logic device at a fixed voltage suitable for the logic devices. A second power supply provides the electrical energy for illuminating the point-like radiation sources. Thus, power to the logic devices is isolated from noise generated during energization of the point-like radiation sources. A variable voltage is provided by this second power supply to permit for flexibility in adjustment of the currents to the point-like radiation sources. This variable voltage may be adjusted in response to aging of the LED's or temperature of the print head.

摘要:
A circuit for generating a set of center pulse-width modulated waveforms comprises a counter having a time changing count, and comparators which compare the count with respective preset counts. The preset counts to the comparators being set so that the set of waveforms created is center pulse-width modulated.
