Abstract: Devices and methods load a firing distance into a distance counter of a printing device. The firing distance is the distance from the current position of a printhead of the printing device to a marking location on a substrate. These devices and methods count the firing distance in discrete distance increments using the distance counter, based on relative movement of the substrate and printhead. When the distance counter reaches the last discrete distance increment of the firing distance, these devices and methods load the fractional remaining distance of the firing distance into a time counter of the printing device. Then, such devices and methods count the fractional remaining distance in velocity-based distance increments at regular time intervals using the time counter. When the time counter reaches the last velocity-based distance increment of the fractional remaining distance, these devices and methods transfer the marking material from the printhead to the substrate.

Abstract translation: 设备和方法将射击距离加载到打印设备的距离计数器中。 触发距离是从打印装置的打印头的当前位置到基板上的标记位置的距离。 这些装置和方法基于基板和打印头的相对运动，使用距离计数器以离散距离增量计数击发距离。 当距离计数器达到射击距离的最后离散距离增量时，这些装置和方法将击发距离的分数剩余距离加载到打印装置的时间计数器中​​。 然后，这种设备和方法使用时间计数器以规则的时间间隔计算基于速度的距离增量中的分数剩余距离。 当时间计数器达到分数剩余距离的最后一个基于速​​度的距离增量时，这些装置和方法将标记材料从打印头传送到基板。
