The prism and the filter are disposed in the ink chamber. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241982 | MEDIA FLATNESS VERIFICATION AND PREVIEW MODE - A printer and method of printing wherein a preview mode conveys media through the printer in a manner that avoids the possibility that the media can contact a print head. A hold-down system of the printer and/or media transport generates a hold-down pressure applied to the substrate media in the direction of the first media transport. A precurler unit applies a predetermined degree of curl to the substrate media. A media height sensor determines the height of the substrate media above the first media transport under the influence of the hold-down pressure. A print head array marks the substrate media with an image in the marking zone, and an actuator adjusts the relative spacing between the print head array and the first media transport. The gap between print head and the media is adjustable in view of the measurements. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241983 | DROPLET DISCHARGING DEVICE AND PARTICLE MAUNFACTURING DEVICE - A droplet discharging device including a discharging hole to discharge droplets, a piezoelectric element that deforms with electrical charging and discharging to discharge droplets therefrom, a piezoelectric element drive circuit that drives the piezoelectric element to cause it to charge and discharge, wherein the piezoelectric element drive circuit has a control signal generating unit to generate control signals that control outputs of drive signals applied to the piezoelectric circuit and a drive signal output unit to output the drive signals applied to the piezoelectric element based on the control signals, wherein the drive signal output unit includes a first field effect transistor that operates to supply an electric current to the piezoelectric element based on the control signals when charging the piezoelectric element and a second field effect transistor that operates to discharge an electric current from the piezoelectric element based on the control signals when discharging the piezoelectric element. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241984 | INK-JET RECORDING APPARATUS - A driving waveform has a first driving waveform (PLSTM1) composed of non-GND waveform, a second driving waveform (PLSTM2) composed of a non-GND waveform different from the first driving waveform, and a third driving waveform (PLSTM0) composed of a GND waveform, and a driving voltage V | 2013-09-19 |
