    摘要: A method for printing in an image forming system is disclosed. The method, in combination with an apparatus printhead, suppresses defects in printed images. When an image forming system prints an image or group of images in a swath by swath manner, there is a tendency for minor printing defects to arise based on poor alignment of the printhead or ink ejectors, or an error in the instruction software. The printing defects can be defects such as unwanted white spaces or lines, or unwanted bold areas or overlapping swath edges. The present invention utilizes the edges of the swaths to insert a stitch line between the swaths having a different number and size of pixels printed, to allow for modification of the stitch line after measuring an actual advance of a printing medium between each instance of a swath. The same image data line provides the instructions to print both the first and second portions of the stitch line, between each swath.

    摘要: In a liquid ink printer transport belt located between a liquid ink printhead and a vacuum holddown device includes apertures for applying a vacuum to the recording medium and for enabling the liquid ink printhead to purge ink through the apertures in the absence of the recording medium without slowing or stopping the belt. The vacuum holddown device includes a platen located beneath the belt for applying a vacuum through the apertures and gutters or slots for collecting ink from the liquid ink printheads during printing. The combination of belt and platen or apertures and gutters or slots provides continuous communication of the vacuum to the recording media as the belt moves across the platen and through a dryer. The transport belt enables the use of a single transport for both imaging and drying.

    摘要: In reproduction systems in which a printer outputs a plurality of different plural sheet print jobs, a system is provided for automatically separating respective print jobs into separate specially formed folders for respective print jobs and stacking a number of them into one or more specially shaped print jobs stacking containers, with the closed folders formed to extend above and provide clear distinctions and separations of their respective print jobs in the container so that a selected print job can be readily removed as a unit from the container. The folders may be on-line separately printed in tab areas and folded. The folding can be uneven or skewed or otherwise formed to be held above their contained print jobs even if the folder was from the same size paper stock.

    摘要: In an ink jet printer, a printhead assembly comprising a printhead and an ink reservoir is mounted on a scanning carriage for movement across a recording medium. During printing, droplets of ink are expelled from ink channels within the printhead and the channels are replenished with ink which is drawn in from the reservoir. The reservoir is connected by supply and return lines to an ink source, and a pump is provided to deliver ink from the source along the supply line to prime the printhead and reservoir. To ensure that the reservoir is filled with ink during the priming operation, the outlet from the reservoir to the return line incorporates a flow restriction equal to, or greater than, that of the printhead.

    摘要: Apparatus for counterbalancing the movement of a platen cover or document handler between a first closed position and a second open position. The counterbalancing apparatus comprises a gas spring and a tension spring. The tension spring is arranged to increasingly counter the force exerted by the gas spring as the platen cover is moved from the first to the second position. This compensates for the reduced force exerted by the platen cover as it is opened. The platen cover in the second position preferably has moved past vertical and the tension spring is effective to counter the force exerted by the cover between vertical and the second position.

    摘要: A sensor arrangement is provided for sensing the position of an edge of a fed sheet adjacent a front stop. Timing circuitry responsive to the sensor arrangement is used to time a reference time interval from the sensing of the edge. The timing circuitry is coupled to a sheet feeder and is capable of stopping the sheet feeder upon the expiration of the reference time interval. The reference time interval is selected to be sufficiently long to allow the sheet feeder when feeding a sheet to form a buckle in the sheet. The reference time interval is adjustable to provide adjustability of the height of the buckle.

    摘要: It is desirable to cover up or mask the stitch joint error. This invention provides systems and methods for indexing the position of a sheet of recording medium conventionally and then measuring the position of the sheet of recording medium accurately by a sensor. Data in the printhead is shifted so that the data is accurately aligned within a predetermined pixel accuracy to the known paper position. This invention covers up the resulting stitch joint error by modifying the pixels at the stitch joint interface to mask the apparent error.
