Abstract: A method uses a sparse test pattern to identify a spatial relationship between a printhead and an image receiving surface in a printer. The method includes operating a plurality of ejectors in the printhead to form a printed marks on the image receiving surface, generating image data of the test pattern, and applying a predetermined disjoint template to the image data to identify a location of the printed marks. The disjoint template matching process improves the accuracy of identifying the printed marks in noisy image data and for sparse test patterns.

Abstract: A printer uses closed loop control to keep material drops ejected by a printhead within a predetermined range. The printer forms at least two objects on a support member and then operates a specular sensor array to obtain image data of the two objects on the support member. The two objects have different predetermined heights to enable a controller in the printer to identify the mass or volume of the material drops forming the objects to adjust operational parameters of the printer to maintain the mass or volume of the material drops in the predetermined range.

Abstract: A method of operating a three-dimensional object printer includes generation of a printed predetermined test pattern on a substrate in the printer with a plurality of ejectors in a printhead. An image sensor generates image data of the printed test pattern and a controller identifies a z-axis distance between the printhead and the substrate that receives the test pattern with reference to an identified dispersion between cross-process direction distances separating printed marks in the test pattern.

Abstract: A method of generating a test pattern for use in identification of a z-axis distance between a printhead and a substrate in a three-dimensional object printer includes forming a first predetermined test pattern on a substrate with the printhead and generating image data of the first test pattern. The method further includes identifying cross-process direction offsets of marks in the image data of the first test pattern and generating second test pattern data for the printhead using only a portion of the ejectors in the printhead and not including a mark from at least one ejector in the printhead with a cross-process direction offset that is less than another cross-process direction offset of at least one ejector in the portion of the ejectors.

Abstract: An aqueous inkjet printer is configured to evaluate and adjust multiple components within the printer with reference to image data of the surface of a rotating member obtained at different times during a single print cycle. The print cycle can be performed in a multiple pass manner to enable a single optical sensor to be used for generation of the image data. Alternatively, the print cycle can be performed in a single revolution of the rotating member and multiple optical sensors positioned about the rotating member to generate the image data.

Abstract: A method of operating a printer to detect errors in an optical sensor includes forming a printed line across a first side of a print medium and generating first image data corresponding to the printed line with the optical sensor. The optical sensor generates second image data of the second side of the print medium as the print medium passes the optical sensor a second time. A detect in the optical sensor is identified with reference to a difference between process direction alignments of the line in the first image data and the second image data.
