Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a print head for inkjet printing, and a guide disposed opposing the print head and configured to guide a back surface of a sheet being conveyed in a first direction. The back surface is a reverse surface of a surface being printed. The printing apparatus further includes a receiving unit disposed opposing the print head and configured to receive ink outside the sheet being conveyed, and a mechanism configured to change a position of the guide in a second direction relative to the receiving unit being fixed, according to a size of the sheet to be used. The second direction crosses the first direction.
Abstract:
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes: a guide unit for guiding the side end of the sheet; a first roller pair arranged on the downstream side of the guide unit for conveying the sheet, including a driven roller held in contact with a whole sheet in a sheet width direction; and a second roller pair having a conveyance roller arranged on the downstream side of the roller and adapted to convey the sheet, and a plurality of pinch rollers pinching the sheet in cooperation with the conveyance roller, wherein each of the plurality of pinch rollers applies to the sheet a conveyance force inclined toward a conveyance path side end, which is nearer to the pinch roller, and wherein the smaller the distance between the pinch roller and the conveyance path side end, the greater the inclination of the conveyance force thereof.
Abstract:
A control unit includes a memory storing correction data obtained by associating information acquired by a first acquisition unit (rotary encoder) with information acquired by a second acquisition unit (direct sensor) with respect to, at least one rotation of a conveying roller. When a plurality of images are sequentially printed on a first surface and a second surface of a continuous sheet, the control unit reads the correction data corresponding to the rotation information acquired by the first acquisition unit from the memory and corrects at least one of driving control of a print head and driving control of the roller. The correction data used in printing on the first surface of the sheet is different from that used in printing on the second surface of the sheet.
Abstract:
To provide inter-LSI data synchronized transfer with a transfer throughput satisfying a required performance without causing an operation timing difference of the entire system even when a wiring delay between LSIs varies on an evaluation board and an actual device. A master (LSI1) outputs transfer data and a transfer synchronization clock signal to a slave (LSI2). For the edge of a clock signal used for data output at the master (LSI1), the slave (LSI2) latches input data by using a reverse edge. Moreover, upon data transfer from the slave (LSI2) to the master (LSI1), the master (LSI1) selects a latch timing of input data from a plurality of timings so that the transfer time to an internal circuit of the master (LSI1) side is identical regardless of which latch timing is selected.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus includes a carriage carrying a recording head and being movably supported, the recording head being configured to eject liquid onto a recording medium, a plurality of driven units to be driven by a drive source that generates a driving force, a transmission-switching mechanism configured to switch between the driven units, a carriage locker configured to prevent and allow movement of the carriage, and a transmission-switching locker configured to prevent and allow switching between the driven units. Movement prevention by the carriage locker and switching prevention by the transmission-switching locker are in synchronicity, and movement allowance by the carriage locker and switching allowance by the transmission-switching locker are in synchronicity.
Abstract:
A multiprocessor system having a plurality of processor elements each of which obtains right to use bus of a first or second shared bus in response to a transfer request for control system data or input/output data and as a master, conducts multiplex-transfer or burst-transfer, in which the processor element outputs a bus request signal for the first shared bus in response to a transfer request for the control system data and as a master, transfers and outputs a selection signal, a control signal and an address signal of a transfer destination and the control system data in one cycle in response to application of a bus grant signal, and is selected as a slave based on the selection signal through the first shared bus to receive input of the control system data and process the data based on the control signal and the address signal.
Abstract:
A bus access arbiter includes an access mode judgment unit and a round robin arbitration unit. The access mode judgment unit judges, when bus access is generated from a plurality of masters M0 and M1, whether an access mode of each of the masters that are connected is a sequential access mode or a single access mode. The round robin arbitration unit dynamically switches an access arbitration method for arbitrating the bus access according to the access mode. The access mode judgment unit includes an access interval count unit, a sequential access number count unit, and an access mode state register that stores a state of the judged access mode for each of the masters, and updates the state of the access mode based on an access interval and the number of sequential access.
Abstract:
A sheet conveying apparatus coveys a sheet while nipping the sheet between a conveyance roller and a pinch roller. The pinch roller includes a first roller portion and a second roller portion adjacent to each other in a rotational axial direction thereof. The pinch roller further includes a mechanism configured to change a difference between a pressing force that the first roller portion applies to the conveyance roller and a pressing force that the second roller portion applies to the conveyance roller.
