A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head, circuitry, and an image detector. The liquid discharge head includes multiple nozzles and discharges a liquid from the multiple nozzles. The circuitry causes the liquid discharge head to discharge the liquid onto a recording medium to form an image in an image area of the recording medium in a printing operation. The image detector reads the image formed on the recording medium. The circuitry further causes the liquid discharge head to discharge the liquid onto at least one of a leading end or a trailing end of the recording medium to form a flushing pattern different from the image in a flushing operation, causes the image detector to read the flushing pattern, detect a defective part in the flushing pattern read by the image detector, and identify a defective nozzle among the multiple nozzles based on defective part.

A printhead including an address line for communicating a set of addresses and a number of primitives, each primitive including a plurality of controllable activation devices coupled to the address line, each switch corresponding to at least one address of the set of addresses, each address corresponding to one of a number of primitive functions. A buffer receives a series of data packets, each data packet including address bits representative of one address of the set of addresses. Address logic receives the address bits PULSE POWER GROUND from the buffer, wherein for each data packet the address logic encodes the address represented by the address bits onto the address line, and wherein the at least one switch corresponding to the address activates the primitive function corresponding to address.

In the method for controlling actuators, corresponding actuators are controlled so that they eject the ink droplets for the print image. Corresponding actuators are additionally controlled in order to eject refresh droplets in the image background according to a random distribution. In the event that no image droplet is printed between two successive refresh droplets, the ink meniscus is set into vibration as a refresh measure between the refresh droplets.

摘要:
An apparatus detects inoperative inkjets during printing. The apparatus operates the printhead or printheads in the printer to form test pattern on a thermal substrate. The heat of the materials used to form the test pattern increase the optical density of the areas where the materials land. The area where the test pattern is formed is imaged and the image data are analyzed to identify inoperative inkjets.
