    摘要: An image reading device includes a cold-cathode lamp as a light source for image reading. The cold-cathode lamp is lit even when the image reading is not performed. A temperature detecting device detects a wall temperature of the cold-cathode lamp or a temperature that has correlation to the lamp wall temperature, and a lighting-out control device turns off the cold-cathode lamp when image reading is not being performed and when a temperature detected by the temperature detecting device is equal to or below a first predetermined temperature. In the image reading device, the image reading operation starts immediately after a user's designation under normal office conditions. As a result, the operating life of the lamp can be prolonged as much as possible.

    摘要: The invention relates to an ink cartridge wherein a remaining amount of ink can be detected using an optical sensor. The ink cartridge has a window, for detection of an ink remaining amount, that is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction. Inside of the ink cartridge, a preventive member is vertically provided. When the ink level is up to the window, light irradiated from the optical sensor permeates the window. Then, the light passes through the ink and reaches the preventive member. Preferably, the window is inclined approximately 20 degrees with respect to the preventive member. Accordingly, an incident angle of the light that has reached the preventive member is different from an incident angle of the light to the window. Thus, most of the light that has reached the preventive member is absorbed or is reflected by the preventive member in a direction different from the incident direction, so that the light reflected toward the optical sensor can be restricted. When the ink level is not up to the window, the light irradiated from the optical sensor is reflected at an inner surface of the inclined portion, and travels toward the optical sensor. Consequently, the remaining amount of the ink is detected based on the amount of the reflected light. With this structure, detection accuracy of the amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridge can be improved.

    摘要: A stop control circuit is configured from a hardware circuit that operates independently from a CPU. When a comparison circuit outputs a matching signal, then the stop control circuit starts processes for stopping a DC motor, regardless of the processing condition of the CPU. Accordingly, operations for stopping the DC motor can be executed at a stable timing so that the DC motor can be stopped at fixed positions. A stop detection circuit detects whether the print head has made an unscheduled stop for some reason or the other, and outputs an interrupt request signal to the CPU, when an amount that the print head is controlled to move has exceeded 20 H even though the actual amount that the print head has moved is still less than 5 H. Accordingly, the CPU need perform predetermined processes for the unscheduled stops only upon receiving the interrupt request from the stop detection circuit. Therefore, there is no need for the CPU to constantly check whether or not the print head has made an abnormal stop. Accordingly, burden on the CPU is greatly reduced so that the processing capability of the CPU is enhanced.

    摘要: In a dot printer having a print head, a moving mechanism for laterally reciprocating the print head relative to a recording medium, a driving circuit for driving the print head, a memory for storing basic dot patterns, and a controller for reading a basic dot pattern from the memory that corresponds to input data, a printing pattern is produced by processing the basic dot pattern and controlling the moving mechanism and the driving circuit according to the printing dot pattern to print the data on the recording medium. A reference dot pattern is produced by replicating n vertical lines of the same dot arrangement as that of the dot lines of the basic dot pattern. The controller produces the printing dot pattern by omitting m dots following the head dot of each dot line, and each successive remaining dot, of the reference dot pattern consisting of successive dots.

    摘要: A degasifier includes a gas chamber, a degasification unit and a resistance applying unit. The gas chamber is separated from a liquid flow path by a transmission member capable of transmitting a gas dissolving in a liquid in the liquid flow path. The degasification unit expels the gas dissolving in the liquid from the liquid by discharging the gas in the gas chamber through a discharge path so that a pressure in the gas chamber is negative. The resistance applying unit applies an inflow resistance to atmosphere which flows into the discharge path so that the gas chamber is maintained at a pressure at which the liquid can be degasified at the time of the discharging by the degasification unit while the discharge path is open to the atmosphere at all times.
