AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect in this patented method is how it can be used with different types of printers without requiring complicated equipment or modifications. This makes it easier than previous methods but still works well enough even at medium-large printings where multiple copies are needed on both sides simultaneously.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patented text relating to improving image quality during ink jet printing processes while reducing costs associated with maintaining precise control over the movement and timing of the paper being printed. Current methods involve increasing the size of the print head used but they also lead to increased complexity and high maintenance requirements due to their mechanical nature. There needs an improved methodology for achieving better liquid dispersion efficiency at both small and medium sizes.

Embodiment Construction

[0620]An exemplary block diagram of the main system components of a printer 100 is illustrated in FIG. 1. The printer 100 has a printhead 200, fluid distribution system 300, maintenance system 600 and electronics 800.

[0621]The printhead 200 has fluid ejection nozzles for ejecting printing fluid, such as ink, onto passing print media. The fluid distribution system 300 distributes ink and other fluids for ejection by the nozzles of the printhead 200. The maintenance system 600 maintains the nozzles of the printhead 200 so that reliable and accurate fluid ejection is provided.

[0622]The electronics 800 operatively interconnects the electrical components of the printer 100 to one another and to external components / systems. The electronics 800 has control electronics 802 for controlling operation of the connected components. An exemplary configuration of the control electronics 802 is described in US Patent Application Publication No. 20050157040 (Applicant's Docket No. RRC001US), the cont
