Abstract:
A system architecture for scanned non-linearity correction in a printer uses any raster output scanner having scanned non-linearity profile previously stored in memory from a test station installed with any pixel board. The pixel board includes a correction table register wherein the pixel board utilizes the scanned non-linearity profile of the raster output scanner to calculate the correction table register to correct for pixel misregistration.
Abstract:
An electronic trapping implementation in imager with laser driver is provided by comparing an output image from the imager to a reference image to obtain a difference image and calculating one or more frequency and amplitude modulations based on the difference image and applying the one or more frequency and amplitude modulations to the imager until the difference image is eliminated.
Abstract:
A method for banding suppression due to vibration in an image forming and/or image receiving apparatus with laser driver utilizes governing equations which relate the on/off time and intensity to velocity and frequency of vibration are disclosed. Using derived formulas, an amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM) combination is used to suppress the banding due to vibration. The equation which governs the on/off time (FM) is t1nulle sin(2nullft1)/vnnullt0. This transcendental equation can be solved for the required on-time t1 in terms of the nominal on-time t0, e (vibration amplitude ), v0 (nominal velocity) and f (vibration frequency). The equation which governs the intensity is H3(t)nullv(t)/v0. H3(t) controls the level of irradiance. This method is further extended to multi-temporal vibration frequency and may correct banding due to irradiance modulation.
Abstract:
A method for banding suppression due to vibration in an imager utilizing a light emitting diode (LED) array is disclosed. By characterizing the LED array and knowing the amplitude and frequency of the signal due to vibration which causes the banding, the LEDs' driving currents are modulated in reverse direction corresponding to the banding signal to suppress the banding.
