Definitions
- a method of processing an image for printing comprising the steps of: receiving image data in an image storage format; transforming the image data into print data at a rate of at least one billion pixels per second; and communicating the print data to a printhead.
- an inkjet printer that comprises a support structure; a platen positioned in the support structure; a print assembly positioned operatively with respect to the platen to define a printing zone between the platen and the print assembly, the print assembly comprising an elongate carrier; and a number of printhead chips positioned on the carrier, the printhead chips together defining a printhead; an image processing apparatus that is operatively arranged with respect to the print assembly, the image processing apparatus comprising a data input means configured to receive image data in an image storage format; a data processing means that is configured to process the image data at a rate of at least one billion pixels per second to transform the data into print data; and a data communication means that is configured to communicate the print data to the printhead; and a feed mechanism positioned on the support structure for feeding a print medium though the printing zone.
- Figure 5 shows a schematic, three-dimensional view of operative parts of the printer
- Figure 6 shows a schematic, exploded view of the printer
- Figure 11 shows an expanded block diagram of a page expansion unit of the image processing apparatus
- Each PCB 42 is mounted on the chassis molding 64.
- the chassis molding 64 defines a pair of recesses 66 on an outer side of the chassis molding 64.
- the recesses 66 extend a length of the chassis molding 64.
- a busbar 68 is positioned in each recess 66.
- the busbars 68 are configured to supply electrical power to the PCB's 42.
- Each ink reservoir molding 76 corresponds with an associated printhead module 46.
- the ink reservoir moldings 76 are positioned end-to-end along and within the Invar channel 62.
- Each ink reservoir molding 76 defines a plurality of elongate ink channels 74, each accommodating a differently colored ink. Thus, effective elongate ink channels extend a length of the Invar channel 62.
- the chassis 60 and channel 62 are connected to the pinch roller 118 with suitable metalwork 130. Further, the chassis 60 and channel 62 are connected to the crossbar 128. It follows that, when the displacement mechanism 129 is operated, the pinch roller 118 and the spiked wheels 126 are displaced from the upper platen 106 together with the chassis 60 and the channel 62.
- Both the media roll 166 and the take up spool 24 are driven with a media roll drive motor 168 and a take up spool drive motor 170, respectively ( Figure 5).
- the printer 10 includes an ATX motherboard 174 that is also positioned in the electronics enclosure 26.
- a printhead interface card 176 is mounted on the motherboard 174.
- the printhead interface card 176 is connected to the nine PCB's 42 with suitable data cables 178.
- conventional print data supplied to the interface card 176 from the motherboard 174 can be converted into a suitable form for reading by the various PCB's 42.
- a plurality of nozzle arrangements 210 is positioned on the CMOS drive circuitry layer 190. For the purposes of convenience, one such nozzle arrangement 210 is shown in Figure 13.
- the printhead chip 186 comprises a multiple replication of the nozzle arrangement 210 on the wafer substrate 188. As set out in the above referenced applications and patents, the printhead chip 186 is the product of an integrated circuit fabrication technique. Replication of components in order to achieve a product is a well-known feature of such a fabrication technique. It follows that the printhead chip 186 can readily be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the field of chip fabrication.
- Each nozzle arrangement 210 includes a thermal bend actuator 192 that is positioned on the CMOS layer 190 to receive an actuating signal from the CMOS layer 190.
- the thermal bend actuator 192 includes a support post 194 that is mounted on the CMOS layer 190 to extend from the CMOS layer 190.
- the thermal bend actuator 192 includes an actuator arm 196 that is fixed to, and extends from, the support post 194.
- the actuator arm 196 includes a heating layer 198 in the form of an electrical heating circuit of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is such that the material is capable of performing useful work on a MEMS scale as a result of expansion upon heating.
- Nozzle chamber walls 202 are positioned on the CMOS layer 190.
- a roof wall 204 is positioned on the nozzle chamber walls 202.
- the nozzle chamber walls 202 and the roof wall 204 define a nozzle chamber 206.
- the roof wall 204 defines an ink ejection port 208 from which ink is ejected, in use.
- a pagewidth printhead including printhead chips as described above can incorporate up to 84 000 nozzle arrangements. It follows that, by using the printhead chips 186, it is possible for the print assembly 14 to have over as many as 200000 nozzle arrangements. It follows that over 200 000 dots can be printed on the paper 22 in the printing zone 120. In one particular example, the seventy-two printhead chips 186 provide a print width of 57.6 inches with 552 960 nozzle arrangements 210.
- Each PEC 48 defines an interface so that it can be synchronized with other PEC's 48, as is the requirement with this invention. This allows a simple two-PEC solution for simultaneous A3/A4/Letter duplex printing. This also allows each PEC 48 to be responsible for the printing of only a portion of a page. It will be appreciated that combining synchronization functionality with partial page rendering allows multiple PEC's to be readily combined for alternative printing requirements including simultaneous duplex printing, wide format printing, commercial printing, specialist high contone resolution printing, and printing applications where more than six ink channels are required.
- the PEC 48 also includes page expansion circuitry in the form of a page expansion unit (PEU) 222 that receives data relating to compressed pages and renders it into data relating to bi-level dots.
- Page expansion circuitry in the form of a line expansion unit (PEU) 222 is also provided that formats dots for a given print line destined for a printhead interface 226 that communicates directly with the printhead chips 186 of each printhead module 46.
- the PEC 48 is configured so that DRAM accesses required for rendering page bands always have the highest priority.
- the PEC 48 includes control circuitry in the form of a PEC controller 228 that provides external clients with the means to read and write PEC registers, and read and write DRAM in single 32 bit data chunks.
- the DRAM chip 50 is connected to memory storage control circuitry in the form of an SDRAM controller 234.
- the SDRAM controller 234 is connected to memory storage control circuitry in the form of a DRAM interface unit 236.
- band B is loaded into DRAM via the high-speed interface 214 before printing can begin. Then, while the PEC 48 is rendering band B via the PEU, band B+l can be loaded to DRAM. While band B+l is being expanded and printed, band B+2 can be loaded, and so on.
- FIG. 11 An expanded block diagram of the PEU 222 is shown in Figure 11. In the following table, the various components of the PEU 222 are described briefly.
- the DNC 244 carries out a third stage. In this stage, the DNC 244 compensates for dead nozzles in the printhead chips 186 by error diffusing dead nozzle data into surrounding dots. Bi-level, six channel dot-data (typically CMYK-IRF) generated in the above stages is buffered and written out to a set of line buffers stored in the off -chip DRAM via the DWU 246.
- CMYK-IRF six channel dot-data
- CMOS layer 190 serves to integrate CMOS technology with MEMS technology on each printhead chip 186. It follows that at least one off -chip connection for each nozzle arrangement 210 is not required. It will be appreciated that such a requirement would make a printhead unreliable and cost-prohibitive to manufacture.
