This application discloses a method for controlling jet printing positions, including: detecting a color code of an inputted paper by a color code sensor, and outputting a pulse signal when the color code is detected; configuring an expectation window where the pulse signal is expected to be generated; initiating jet printing after a predetermined delay period when the pulse signal is detected in the expectation window; and initiating jet printing after correction when no pulse signal is detected in the expectation window or the pulse signal is detected outside the expectation window. The method may improve the quality of jet printing.
摘要:
A selected operating parameter of a device that operates in multiple operating states having differing natural response characteristics, at least one of which is variable over time, is controlled with a servo controller having control parameters which are responsive to the natural response characteristics. Sets of control parameters are provided to the servo controller corresponding to the operating states. One of the sets of control parameters corresponding to a given operating state is used by the servo controller to initiate control of the selected operating parameter in the given operating state. The response of the selected operating parameter in the given operating state is measured while the drive parameter is being controlled by the servo controller using the selected set of control parameters, and, if necessary, modified based on the response. The servo controller continues controlling the selected operating parameter using the modified set of control parameters.

An image forming apparatus includes a printing device; a printing medium conveying unit to convey a printing medium, a first electric charger to charge the printing medium conveying unit, a second electric charger to charge the printing medium conveyed by the printing medium conveying unit, a first surface potential detector to detect a surface potential of the printing medium bearing the electric charge, a second surface potential detector to detect a surface potential of the printing medium bearing the electric charge, and a controller to adjust a power supply voltage supplied to each of the first and second electric chargers in accordance with each of surface potentials detected by the first and second surface potential detectors. The first and second surface potential detectors are located at different positions in a conveying direction in which the printing medium is conveyed by the printing medium conveying unit.
摘要:
A board for a printhead mountable on a printing apparatus includes three terminals used for connection to the printing apparatus, a printing element, a driving circuit connected to the first terminal, an inspection circuit connected between the first terminal and the second terminal, and a resistance element connected between the second terminal and the third terminal. When an inspection signal is supplied from the printing apparatus to the first terminal, the inspection circuit outputs an output signal according to the inspection signal. When a control signal for performing printing is supplied from the printing apparatus to the first terminal, the driving circuit drives the printing element according to the control signal, and the inspection circuit sets the inspection circuit and the second terminal in an open state with each other.
