Abstract:
An error-compensating technique for scanned data, using a scanner having both a printing device which performs a bi-directional printing operation and a scanner device which moves in the same direction as that of the printing device and performs a scanning function, includes: a special pattern-printing process in which the printing device moves in a preset fixed direction and prints a special pattern-printing process; a pattern-recognizing process in which the scanning device moves in the same direction as that of the printing direction and recognizes the pattern; a pattern-recognizing process in which the scanning device moves in the opposite direction to that of the printing direction and recognizes the pattern; and a position compensation data-yielding process in which position compensation data for the bi-directional scanning data is yielded.
Abstract:
A paper eject apparatus for preventing a paper jam caused by a curled paper, by ejecting the curled paper outside passing between an eject roller and an idler roller. The paper eject apparatus of the ink-jet printer for preventing the paper from being jammed differentiates positions to be contacted between each idler roller and eject roller, and moves a carriage from the position of a protrusive idler roller to the position of the other idler rollers. Accordingly, the deflector placed at the lower part of the carriage presses the paper and enables the paper to easily be passed, thereby preventing the paper jam caused by the supply of the curled paper.
