Abstract:
A method of maintaining a rotational velocity of an imaging drum in an image producing device includes constructing a table of a drive current for a transfer roll for a plurality of first distances between the imaging drum with the transfer roll, and utilizing the table to control the transfer roll drive to maintain a substantially constant imaging drum rotational velocity at each of the plurality of distances.
Abstract:
A method for delivering molten ink to a printing mechanism alternates between a first and second reservoir receiving molten ink from a receiving ink reservoir while providing ink from the other of the first and second reservoirs to a printing mechanism. The alternation of the two reservoirs is achieved with coordinated operation of two actuators operatively connected to two seal members.

Abstract:
Se proporciona un sistema y método para distribuir tinta fundida a un mecanismo de impresión que incluye recibir tinta fundida en el reservorio de recepción, y alternar cualquiera de una pluralidad de reservorios abiertos al reservorio de recepción para recibir tinta fundida mientras al menos otra pluralidad de reservorios se abre para distribuir tinta fundida al mecanismo de impresión, en respuesta al nivel de tinta en el reservorio que distribuye tinta fundida al mecanismo de impresión.
Abstract:
A system and method for delivering molten ink to a printing mechanism or print head includes; receiving molten ink in a receiving reservoir 18, and alternating which of a plurality of reservoirs is opened to the receiving reservoir to receive molten ink while at least one other of the plurality of reservoirs is opened to dispense molten ink to the printing mechanism. The plurality of reservoirs may comprise a first reservoir 20 and second reservoir 22.The opening of the reservoirs may be alternated in response to the level of ink detected within the reservoirs. The first and second reservoirs may receive ink via inlets 32 and dispense ink via outlets 36. Valve assemblies may be disposed between the inlets and outlets and may comprise a seal member 70 movable between inlet and outlet positions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet printer using phase-change ink printing on continuous web. SOLUTION: A web W which is wound around a spool 10 is fed to a printing section 20 along a path (in the processing direction P) through a roller 12 or the like located on the downstream side. The phase-change ink is loaded on the web W by using printing heads 21A to 21D (they may be one piece) in the printing section 20. A pre-heater 18 which pre-heats the web W to a specified pre-heating temperature is located between the spool 10 and the printing section 20. A means for keeping the temperature of the web W within a specified ink receiving temperature zone, e.g., backing materials 24A to 24D are located in the printing section 20. The temperature of the web W in the printing section 20 can be controlled so that each color ink sequential loading by the printing heads 21A to 21D can favorably be performed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous media web heater which permits faster temperature adjustment for heating a moving web having no necessity of changing a set temperature of the heater. SOLUTION: A radiation heating unit 104 comprises a housing 114 having an opening 140 for locating the radiation heating unit adjacently to a media web 20 in an image apparatus. A pair of radiation heating panels 118 can be located on any one of a plurality of positions between and including a fully open position in which the pair of radiation heating panels 118 are arranged side by side in the opening 140 of the housing 114 and face the media web 20 and a retracted position in which the pair of radiation heating panels 118 are inside the housing 114 and face each other, and emits thermal radiation in accordance with a variable thermal output signal. A panel driver locates the radiation heating panels 118 to at least one among the plurality of positions in response to a variable view factor signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
