Abstract:
A printing head has a plurality of heater boards, each of which includes a shift register to which printing data and selection data for selecting preheating pulse signals are applied as inputs, a latch circuit for latching the printing data, a selection-data latch circuit for latching the selection data, a selection circuit for selecting any one of a plurality of preheating pulse signals inputted in accordance with the latched selection data, and a plurality of heating resistors driven by the printing data or preheating pulse signals. Correction data, obtained by a head correcting apparatus, for performing printing at an average density by correcting the characteristics of each heater board is stored in a memory of the printing head. A printing apparatus decides the selection data in accordance with the correction data and sets the selection data in the selection-data latch circuit.
Abstract:
Eine Vielzahl von Erkennungspositionen, die jeweils durch einen Erkenner als eine Position eines Zielobjekts auf einem Eingabebild erkannt werden/sind, werden erfasst. Zumindest eine repräsentative Position wird erhalten, indem eine Clusterbildung für die Vielzahl von Erkennungspositionen durchgeführt wird. Die repräsentative Position wird gemäß einer Editieranweisung von einem Benutzer für die repräsentative Position editiert. Das Eingabebild und die repräsentative Position werden als Lerndaten gespeichert, die zum Belernen des Erkenners zu verwenden sind.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for correcting printing characteristics of a full-line printhead, and producing a high-printing quality printhead at high manufacturing yield, a corrected printhead by this apparatus, and a printer employing this printhead. According to this method, an image is printed on a printing medium by using double pulses obtained based on fluctuation of resistance of each printing unit of a printhead, and a reference OD value is determined from an OD value histogram of the printed image. A preheating pulse width is selected, based on OD values of n printed images obtained by changing the preheating pulse width n times and the reference OD value, such that an OD value on each printing element is equal or close to the reference OD value. For example, assuming that the reference value is 0.43, a preheating pulse width on printing element No. 3 is 0.875 .mu. sec.
