摘要： A manufacturing method provides ink-jet writing engine modules for use with a compatible hard copy engine module, a hard copy apparatus based thereon, and methods of manufacturing, operation, and use. Fluidic and electronic partitioning for ink-jet hard copy apparatus is redefined. Modular separation of a hard copy engine from a writing engine allows a replaceable writing module containing all of the key elements of the ink-jet writing system based on writing system technology requirements, particularly for those most likely to age or fail as a result of time, frequency of use, or end-user actions. The writing engine subsystem includes: one or more printing modules having print head elements with concomitant ink manifold components and ink flow and pressure regulation mechanisms; one or more ink containers—either permanent, refillable, or replaceable; one or more ink formulations; one or more ink delivery means, such as tubes and valves fluidically coupling the ink containers to the ink manifolds; service station components; and a framework to retain the elements in a unitary module, insertable cassette-like manner.

摘要： Facsimile image-scaling and -smoothing method and apparatus are described. They scale a received facsimile image along a given axis to increase the printed image resolution therealong, while smoothing the scaled image to reduce visually objectionable ticks. They do so by analyzing received image data with respect to adjacent received lines having disparate pixel counts and by filling in pixels therebetween in accordance with predefined fill rules that are designed also to smooth the output image to be printed. Various predefined rules are applied to produce intermediate results some or all of which are comprehended by the scaling/smoothing algorithm to produce the final smoothed, scaled output pixel image. Preferably such analyzing and filling in accordance with such rules are performed by a hybrid hardware and firmware subsystem within a receiving facsimile machine or facsimile-receiving printer.

摘要： A monitoring system monitors a pressure wave developed in the surrounding ambient environment during inkjet droplet formation. The monitoring system uses either acoustic, ultrasonic, or other pressure wave monitoring mechanisms, such as a laser vibrometer, an ultrasonic transducer, or an accelerometer sensor, for instance, a microphone to detect droplet formation. One sensor is incorporated in the printhead itself, while others may be located externally. The monitoring system generates information used to determine current levels of printhead performance, to which the printer may respond by adjusting print modes, servicing the printhead, adjusting droplet formation, or by providing an early warning before an inkjet cartridge is completely empty. During printhead manufacturing, an array of such sensors may be used in quality assurance to determine printhead performance. An inkjet printing mechanism is also equipped for using this monitoring system, and a monitoring method is also provided.
