摘要： A method for compressing data includes transmitting a requested compression factor such as a quality factor known in JPEG compression, to a scanner or like peripheral device. The type of communication link between the scanner or like device and a host computer is identified, and based on the communication link type, the requested compression factor is altered to generate a new compression factor subsequently used to compress the data. The amount of buffer, such as scan buffer, used by the scanner or peripheral device may also be used to alter the compression factor prior to compression.

摘要： Disclosed is a method for printing a media sheet in a media processing device. The method includes aligning a first portion of a printhead of the media processing device to a print area of the media sheet. The method further includes printing the print area of the media sheet by traversing the printhead over the print area in a first direction. The printing is performed by the first portion. Further, the method includes aligning a second portion of the printhead to the print area by adjusting the media sheet relative to the printhead by an index distance in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. Thereafter, the method includes reprinting the print area by traversing the printhead over the print area in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The reprinting is performed by the second portion.

摘要： A method of printing on a print medium with an ink jet printer uses a first color ink, a second color ink and a black ink. An image area on the print medium has a plurality of pixel locations. Print image data indicate one of a presence and an absence of the first color ink, the second color ink and the black ink at the plurality of pixel locations. A subset of the print image data is defined. A determination is made as to whether the subset of print image data indicates 1) a presence of the first color ink and/or the second color ink within the subset and a presence of the black ink within the subset; 2) a presence of each of the first color ink and the second color ink within the subset at a same corresponding pixel location; and/or 3) a presence of the first color ink and/or the second color ink within the subset at a number of corresponding pixel locations exceeding a threshold value. The print medium is printed on in the image area at an interlace level which is dependent upon the determination.

摘要： A print medium is printed on with a printhead of an ink jet printer. The print medium is advanced in an advance direction a predetermined amount. The print medium is printed on with the printhead in an area corresponding to the predetermined amount. A determination is made of an end of printable area on the print medium in the advance direction. The print medium is advanced in the advance direction a minimum reliable move amount, dependent upon the end of printable area determination. The minimum reliable move amount is less than the predetermined amount. The print medium is printed on with the printhead in an area corresponding to the minimum reliable move amount.

摘要： A thermal ink jet printer has two columns of nozzles in its nozzle plate parallel to the direction of motion of each sheet of media. When the sheet of media is thin such as bond paper having a thickness of 0.1 mm, for example, all of the nozzles are available for printing. When the sheet of media is thick such as an envelope having a thickness of 0.5 mm, for example, one-fourth of the nozzles are available for printing, and these are the nozzles first passed by the sheet of media during its advancement. Each sheet of media has the same feed rate although it takes four times as long for the thick sheet of media to be printed.

摘要： A method of printing a high resolution image with a printhead in a multi-pass printing mode includes subdividing the high resolution image into a plurality of low resolution sub-images; subdividing each low resolution sub-image into a plurality of low resolution swath portions; and allocating an amount of a memory for buffer storage, the amount being only sufficient to store data corresponding to less than two of the low resolution swath portions. The method also includes, for each low resolution swath portion: halftoning each low resolution swath portion to generate a corresponding halftoned low resolution swath portion, the halftoning of each low resolution swath portion of a particular low resolution sub-image being performed independently of halftoning the low resolution swath portions of other low resolution sub-images; storing the halftoned low resolution swath portion into the amount of the memory; and printing the halftoned low resolution swath portion.

摘要： An ink jet printer receives image data defining a pattern of dots in a non-square rectangular grid and prints the pattern of dots on a print medium based on the image data. The pattern of dots consists of at least four interlaced checkerboard arrays of dots printed in four passes of the print head across the print medium, where each one of the four checkerboard arrays is printed during a different one of the four passes. Each of the checkerboard arrays is offset from the other checkerboard arrays by a predetermined spacing in at least one of the first and second directions. The printer prints the second checkerboard array horizontally offset from the first checkerboard array by a distance substantially equivalent to {fraction (5d/4)}, where d is the diameter of the printed dots. The printer prints the third checkerboard array vertically offset from the second checkerboard array by a distance substantially equivalent to {fraction (−d/2)} and horizontally offset by a distance substantially equivalent to {fraction (−3d/4)}. The printer prints the fourth checkerboard array horizontally offset from the third checkerboard array by a distance substantially equivalent to {fraction (−3d/4)}. This dot placement method optimally covers a grid having a resolution of {fraction (4/d)}×{fraction (2/d)} dpi with dots having diameters that are much larger than optimal for the resolution of the grid. Thus, the invention avoids excessive dot overlap which could lead to ink saturation of the print medium.
