摘要： In one example, an encoding station of a printing system forms a pattern of non-printed features onto flowing print media. The non-printed features are detected, and timing signals generated from the detected features. The timing signals cause the media to be printed at a desired resolution in the direction of the flow.

摘要： An ink jet printing system that includes a print media strip dispenser that advances a strip of test print media through a test print zone and then through a detect zone. Test dots are printed on a test portion of the strip of print media that is in the test print zone, and such test portion is then advanced to the detect zone for detection by an optical detector. Pursuant to such test print media strip advance, another test portion of the media strip is advanced into the test print zone and ready for printing of further test dots. By way of specific implementation, the print media strip dispenser comprises a cassette that includes a supply reel on which an elongated strip of unprinted test print media has been wound and a take-up reel for taking up and winding the elongated strip of print media as it is advanced.

摘要： A print media detection system for use in a printing device is disclosed. An embodiment of the print media detection system includes a source configured to transmit a light signal and a sensor configured to detect the light signal and generate an electrical signal in response to the light signal, the electrical signal having a magnitude that increases up to a substantially constant value as an intensity of the light signal from the source increases. The sensor is also configured to generate the electrical signal with a first magnitude for a transparent print media through which the light signal from the source travels to the sensor. The sensor is further configured to generate the electrical signal with a second magnitude less than the first magnitude for nontransparent print media positioned in a path of the light signal from the source to the sensor. A printing device including the print media detection system is also disclosed. A method of detecting transparent and nontransparent print media for use in a printing device is additionally disclosed. Further characteristics and features of the print media detection system, printing device, and method are described herein, as are examples of various alternative embodiments.

摘要： The present invention relates to Ink Level Detection in a Pressure Regulated Pen. A liquid level detector for a liquid containment device, such as an ink-jet pen, provides a signal indicative of a lowering level of liquid in the containment device. In exemplary embodiments, a refillable or replaceable ink reservoir supplies ink to the printhead of the pen under pressure. Electrical or electromagnetic devices are used individually or in combination with a pressure regulator apparatus to sense a back pressure in the containment device after the reservoir has gone dry to trigger a signal indicating a low or out-of-ink condition.

摘要： A shuttling media movement system moves media in a hardcopy device, such as an inkjet printing mechanism, a facsimile machine or a multi-function device. The shuttling media movement system has a first member with a first set of fingers for periodically supporting the media, and a second member having a second set of fingers for periodically supporting the media. A motor drive is coupled to the second member to periodically interleave the second set of fingers into and out of engagement with the first set of fingers to move the media with respect to the first member in the interaction zone. Vacuum forces or electrostatic forces are used to periodically grip the media against the sets of fingers. A hardcopy device is provided with such a shuttling media movement system, along with a method for moving media in an interaction zone of a hardcopy device.

摘要： A shifted element printing/scanning routine coordinated with media advance through an interaction zone of hardcopy device is provided for inkjet printing mechanisms, scanners or multi-function hardcopy devices. A method is provided of coordinating operation of a reciprocating head with media advance. The head has plural interaction elements, which may be ink-ejecting nozzles in a printing mechanism, or image receptors in a scanning mechanism, with the interaction elements being arranged in a linear array to selectively interact with media. A hardcopy device has a rotating media advancing member, a reciprocating head carrying the interaction elements, an encoder having indicia to track media advance, and a sensor that interprets the encoder indicia and generated a media position signal. A controller adjusts the media advance and shifts operation of selected interaction elements to other interaction elements along the linear array to avoid an indeterminate region of the position signal where the media position cannot be ascertained.

摘要： Automatic print rate-controlling and pen-servicing method and apparatus are described for power management and for determining appropriate servicing intervals for plural-pen ink-jet printers. The preferred method involves counting the number of drops of ink that are fired from each of plural pens in the printer's printhead carriage and optionally calculating the pen firing rate such that printer throughput can be controlled to limit time-averaged power and such that pen servicing frequency can be based upon the need for such servicing. The counts are maintained in memory connected, for example, with the printer's microcontroller, as are parameters that the microcontroller uses to determine appropriate drop count-based print rate controlling or pen servicing that reduce printer throughput only to the extent necessary. Particularly, the pens are serviced when any of the counts is within a predefined finite range of a predefined number or no later than when any of the counts exceeds a corresponding predefined number. The preferred apparatus includes a drop counter, a service station for wiping and spitting plural pens within a printhead carriage and a controller responsive to the drop counter to control the printing rate and to move the printhead carriage into operative association with the service station based upon drop count, firing rate, time-averaged power capability, printhead location and other predetermined criteria.
