Abstract:
A printing device includes a printer having a first printing part, a second printing part, and a reading sensor. The printer continuously prints printing data onto a printing medium. The first printing part in the printer first prints the printing data onto the printing medium by forming a mark indicating a page of the printing medium. The reading sensor subsequently reads the mark and matches printing surfaces of the printing medium to be printed by the first and second printing parts. The second printing part in the printer thereafter prints the printing data onto the printing medium. The printing device further includes an information holding part that previously holds information on a relationship between a size of the printing medium and a position of the mark, and a mark position setting part that movably sets the mark position based on the information held in the information holding part in accordance with the size of the printing medium.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit, a control unit, and a pattern region. The reading unit moves a linear reading range, which is provided in a main scanning direction, in a sub-scanning direction that intersects with the main scanning direction while reading an object that faces the reading range, and generates image data on the basis of a read result. The control unit controls the reading unit. The pattern region includes a predetermined pattern that defines a reference position for specifying a reading position that is read by the reading unit. The predetermined pattern has a characteristic portion that specifies a schematic position of the predetermined pattern in the sub-scanning direction. The control unit includes a first image acquisition unit, a pattern searching unit, a second image acquisition unit, a characteristic portion searching unit, a first reprocessing instruction unit, and a second reprocessing instruction unit.
Abstract:
A printing device includes a first printer and a second printer which continuously print one or plural pieces of printing data onto a printing medium. In the printing device, the second printer includes a reading sensor, the first printer first prints the one or plural pieces of printing data onto the printing medium by forming a mark indicating a page of the printing medium or each of the plural pieces of the printing data, the reading sensor in the second printer subsequently reads the mark and matches printing surfaces of the printing medium to be printed by the first and second printers, and the second printer thereafter prints the printing data onto the printing medium. The printing device includes an information holding part which previously holds information on a relationship between the mark position and a size of the printing medium or a size of each of the plural pieces of printing data, and a mark position setting part which movably sets the mark position based on the information held in the information holding part in accordance with the size of the printing medium or the size of each of the plural pieces of printing data.
