Abstract:
A printer device includes: an ink circulation flow path in which ink is circulated; a discharge head that discharges the ink supplied from the ink circulation flow path; a circulation pump and a circulation motor that circulate the ink in the ink circulation flow path; a circulation filter provided in the ink circulation flow path; and control unit that determines a blocked state of the circulation filter and performs drive control of the circulation motor in accordance with a determination result, and the control unit drives the circulation motor in a first mode until it is determined that the circulation filter is in a blocked state, and after it is determined that the circulation filter is in a blocked state, the control unit drives the circulation motor in a second mode that provides a smaller circulation rate than the first mode.
Abstract:
An image recognition method includes obtaining measurement data of a target object, comparing a 3D model having a plurality of feature points and the measurement data and updating importance degrees of the plurality of feature points based on differences between the 3D model and the measurement data, performing learning using the updated importance degrees, and performing object recognition for the target object based on a result of the learning.
Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting section from which liquid is ejected. A return passage has a first end connected to a supply passage at a first location and a second end connected to the supply passage at a second location. The second location is positioned closer to the liquid ejecting section than the first location. The return passage and the supply passage constitute a circulating passage. A pump can cause fluid to flow through the circulating passage. A replaceable filter unit is a portion of the return passage. A discharge passage through which the fluid is discharged to the outside is connected to the return passage. An inflow controller can suppress external fluid from entering the discharge passage.
Abstract:
A printer includes a head including an ink ejecting unit for ejecting ink from a nozzle, a waste liquid flow path that is a flow path of ink sucked from the nozzle, a suction unit that performs an ink suction operation of sucking the ink from the nozzle via the waste liquid flow path, and a cleaning operation of sucking cleaning liquid from the nozzle via the waste liquid flow path, and a control unit that controls the suction unit so as to vary a suction amount of the cleaning liquid depending on an elapsed time from when the ink suction operation is performed, when the cleaning operation is performed.
Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting unit that performs printing on a target by ejecting liquid, which is supplied from a liquid supply source, from a plurality of nozzles; and a maintenance section that performs maintenance processing of causing the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles. Based on print information for performing printing on the target, in a case where printing satisfying a setting condition presumed such that a staying time of the liquid staying in a liquid path between the liquid supply source and the nozzles during printing is long is performed, a discharge amount of the liquid to be discharged during the maintenance processing that is performed before printing is set to be larger than a discharge amount of the liquid in a case where printing not satisfying the setting condition presumed such that the staying time is short is performed.
Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting unit and a pump. The liquid ejecting apparatus has a supply channel, a return channel, and a communication channel. The supply channel is designed to be able to supply the liquid from a liquid supply source to the nozzle. The return channel has ends connected to the supply channel and forms, together with the supply channel, a circulation channel. The communication channel is connected to the return channel and allows communication between an inside of the return channel and an outside. In a state in which the return channel communicates with the outside through the communication channel, the pump is driven so as to perform a return-channel replacement operation in which the liquid in the return channel is discharged to the supply channel side.
Abstract:
A printer includes a head including a plurality of ink ejecting units for ejecting different types of inks from nozzles, a waste liquid flow path that is a flow path of ink sucked from the nozzles, a suction unit that performs an ink suction operation of sucking the ink from the nozzles of the ink ejecting units via the waste liquid flow path, and a cleaning operation of sucking the cleaning liquid from nozzles via the waste liquid flow path, and a control unit that controls the suction unit so as to vary a suction amount of the cleaning liquid depending on the type of the ink sucked by the ink suction operation when the cleaning operation is performed.
Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting section that is capable of ejecting a first liquid from an opening of a nozzle with respect to media; and a two-fluid ejecting apparatus that is capable of ejecting at least one of a gas and a second liquid with respect to the liquid ejecting section.
Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head having a nozzle that ejects liquid to an ejection medium; a maintenance mechanism having a receiving portion that receives the liquid which is discharged from the liquid ejecting head in a maintenance operation for the liquid ejecting head; and a cleaning liquid supply mechanism configured to supply cleaning liquid to the receiving portion in a cleaning operation of cleaning the receiving portion. If a time from when the maintenance operation of former one has been executed to when the maintenance operation of later one is executed is equal to or longer than a first setting time and shorter than a second setting time, after the maintenance operation of the later one is executed, the cleaning operation is executed subsequently to the maintenance operation of the later one.
Abstract:
A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus includes a liquid droplet ejecting head that includes a plurality of nozzles from which a liquid supplied from a liquid supply source through a liquid supply path is ejected as a liquid droplet, and ejects the liquid droplet from the nozzle to a recording medium to perform a recording process, a first detecting section that detects a vibration waveform of the pressure chamber, which is vibrated when an actuator is driven to cause the pressure chamber communicating with the nozzle to vibrate, to detect a state inside the pressure chamber, and a second detecting section that reads a pattern formed on the recording medium by ejecting the liquid droplet from the nozzle to detect an ejection state of the liquid droplet.
