摘要:
A pagewidth inkjet printer is provided having a pagewidth printhead which has a plurality of printhead modules mounted end to end on a carrier to extend across a pagewidth with each printhead module incorporating a plurality of inkjet nozzles and the nozzles of at least one of the printhead modules being rotationally displaced relative to the carrier, and a printer controller for communicating ink dot data to the inkjet nozzles in accordance with a cumulative correction factor for each printhead module. The printer controller measures the amount of rotational displacement of the rotationally displaced printhead module to determine the cumulative correction factor to at least partially compensate for the rotational displacement.

An inkjet printhead is provided having a plurality of printhead modules arranged across a pagewidth to be printed. Each printhead module has a plurality of rows of ink ejection nozzles. At least some of the rows include at least one displaced row portion. The displaced row portions of at least some of the rows are different in length than the displaced row portions of at least some of the other rows.

A method of expelling ink from a printhead module is provided. The printhead module includes at least one row that has a plurality of sets of n adjacent nozzles. Each of the nozzles is configured to expel ink in response to a fire signal. The method includes providing a fire signal to nozzles at a first and nth position in each set of nozzles, and providing a fire signal to the next inward pair of nozzles in each set. In the event n is an even number, a fire signal is provided to each next inward pair until all of the nozzles in each set has been fired. In the event n is an odd number, a fire signal is provided to each next inward pair until all of the nozzles but a central nozzle in each set have been fired, and then firing the central nozzle.

A printer is provided having at least one elongate printhead module comprising at least one row of printing nozzles, and first and second printer controllers configured to process print data for output to the printhead module. The first and second printer controllers are connected to a common input of the printhead module
摘要:
A printer controller for supplying data to a printhead module including at least one row of printhead nozzles, at least one row including at least one displaced row portion, the displacement of the row portion including a component in a direction normal to that of a pagewidth to be printed, the printer controller being configured to control order and timing of the data supplied to the printhead such that the dropped row is compensated for during printing by the printhead module.
摘要:
A printer controller for supplying dot data to at least one printhead module and at least partially compensating for errors in ink dot placement by at least one of a plurality of nozzles on the printhead module due to erroneous rotational displacement of the printhead module relative to a carrier, the printer being configured to access a correction factor associated with the at least one printhead module; determine an order in which at least some of the dot data is supplied to at least one of the at least one printhead modules, the order being determined at least partly on the basis of the correction factor, thereby to at least partially compensate for the rotational displacement; and supply the dot data to the printhead module.
摘要:
An inkjet printhead is provided having elongate printhead modules arranged to successively abut one another at respective longitudinal ends with a vertical offset and controllers for controlling the printhead modules. Each module has a plurality of ink ejection nozzles. 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 to generate second ink dot data and to generate third ink dot data including the second dot data and at least some of the first 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 third dot data to at least a second printhead module which abuts the first printhead module.
摘要:
A printhead module including at least one row that comprises a plurality of sets of n adjacent nozzles, each of the nozzles being configured to expel ink in response to a fire signal, such that, for each set of nozzles, a fire signal is provided in accordance with the sequence: [nozzle position 1, nozzle position n, nozzle position 2, nozzle position (n−1), . . . , nozzle position x], wherein nozzle position x is at or adjacent the centre of the set of nozzles.
摘要:
A printhead module for receiving dot data to be printed using at least two different inks and control data for controlling printing of the dot data, the printhead module including a communication input for receiving the dot data for the at least two colors and the control data.
摘要:
A printer having of a printhead having first and second elongate printhead modules, the printhead modules being parallel to each other and being disposed end to end on either side of a join region, wherein the first printhead module is longer than the second printhead module. At least first and second printer controllers configured to receive print data and process the print data to output dot data for the printhead, wherein the first printer controller outputs dot data to both the first printhead module and the second controller; and the second printer controller outputs dot data to the second printhead module, wherein the dot data output by the second printer controller includes dot data it generates and at least some of the dot data received from the first printer controller.
