In master computer 101, the program of being preserved on hard disk unit 1113 under the situation of control tape deck is loaded into RAM1013 and is carried out by CPU1012.
Fig. 5 is the block diagram that the summary hardware of the control of the expression record portion 106 that is used to carry out this tape deck constitutes.
Each record cell 108 has master controller 401, and the control program of being stored among this master controller 401 execution ROM408 carries out control as described below thus.ROM408 can also have non-volatile storage area that can write data such as various parameters again.Correction value described later and adjusted value just can be preserved in this storage area.
In addition, the output signal that comprises the sensor class 402 of various sensors is imported into master controller 401.
On each record cell 108 based on the signal that the paper used for recording by delivery section 105 input is detected, the signal by the encoder 412 of delivery section 105 inputs comes the timing of instrumentation recording start equally with paper detection sensor 110, the signal that is synchronized with encoder 412 at recording start later on, master controller 401 is read the pictorial data of corresponding color respectively in turn from RAM410K, 410C, 410M, 410Y, and via head drive circuit 404, record head 200K, the 200C, 200M, the 200Y that export to the ink of the corresponding color of ejection respectively carry out record thus.
So record head 200K, 200C, 200M, 200Y carry out the ejection of coloured image according to the pictorial data ejection ink of its cutting recording image that is transfused to respectively.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart at the record controls flow process of paper used for recording in the tape deck of expression in the present embodiment.This processing is achieved from read routines such as ROM408 and execution by master controller 401.The pass is like this too with the processing of Fig. 7 described later.
The image information (record data) of the record object that sends from master computer 101 is received (S501) with the instruction of various parameters such as record number and paper size and indication record by each record cell 108.
Record data make record head 200 move to recordable position (S502) after receiving and finishing.Afterwards, if supply with a paper used for recording 103 from sheet feed section 104, and after carrying with delivery section 105, usefulness is arranged on and detects (S503) with 110 pairs of paper used for recording of paper detection sensor on the transport path.After paper used for recording detects, wait for up to the output of the encoder 412 of delivery section 105 and count (S504) with the predetermined pulse number.This just means the distance till having carried from usefulness paper detection sensor 110 to the position of each record head 200 to paper used for recording.Afterwards, spray inks according to recording image information by each record head 200, carry out recording processing (S505) thus while be synchronized with the output pulse of encoder.
Carry out this processing repeatedly till reaching the record number that the full detail that receives is set.Do not have not recorded information (S506) if the record number reaches the value that is set, just make record head 200 transfer to holding state (S507).
Then describe with reference to the flow chart of Fig. 7 flow process with regard to the registration adjustment in the present embodiment.Before the explanation of this processing, the registration adjustment of using in the present embodiment is described with pattern (test pattern) by Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.
Fig. 8 represents this registration adjustment all pictures with pattern 700, and Fig. 9 amplifies its part and represents.The registration adjustment is with the view data of pattern 700, both can be stored by the pattern part that each record cell is undertaken oneself and carries out record by its control program, also can be stored in the master computer 101 records to each record cell indicator diagram.
The registration adjustment comprises to indulge in adjustment member 800, the unit between the unit for each record cell with pattern 700 aims at horizontal aligning adjustment member 802 in adjustment member 801 and the unit.In this manual, " indulging " is meant along the direction with the paper throughput direction, and " horizontal stroke " is meant and the direction of using paper throughput direction quadrature.Adjustment member 800 is to be used to detect other record cell with respect to the pattern part as the skew of the position relation of the record cell of the benchmark of a plurality of record cells between the unit.In the unit vertical aim at adjustment member 801 be used to detect other record head with respect among a plurality of record heads in each record cell as the pattern part of the skew of the longitudinal direction position relation of the record head of benchmark.In the unit horizontal aligning adjustment member 802 be used to detect other record head with respect among a plurality of record heads in each record cell as the pattern part of the skew of the transverse direction position relation of the record head of benchmark.
Basic, the registration adjustment with pattern 700 write down many groups with respect to as the bar that record head write down (being called datum strip) of benchmark by the record head of adjustment usefulness with the small bar (being called the comparison bar) that staggers and write down of different unit adjustment amounts.
As the benchmark head, with the opposing party's blackhead head as a comparison, and share and carry out record by the zone of the end that coincides at two with record cell one side's of adjacency (in this example be right adjacent at Fig. 2) blackhead for adjustment member 800 between the unit.In this example, will be with the benchmark head as the taeniae of benchmark and horizontal stripe at stagger at certain intervals 17 groups of records of throughput direction, simultaneously with respect to datum strip with the head relatively a plurality of relatively taeniaes of record and a plurality of horizontal stripes that compare on the position that the position of side-play amount 0 and positive and negative in length and breadth two directions have staggered in turn with unit quantity 1～8.If the benchmark head coincide with respect to the registration that compares head, then taeniae or horizontal stripe unanimity on the position of numerical value " 0 ".Otherwise consistent with bar on the position of the corresponding numerical value of side-play amount (except that 0).
The vertical adjustment member 801 of aiming at writes down 4 groups of 17 parallel horizontal stripe group 801a with benchmark head (K) with predetermined distance in the unit, and a certain amount of record that carries out that staggers in turn on transverse direction.And then 3 gaps between these horizontal stripe groups 801a are respectively with comparing head (C, M, Y) the corresponding horizontal stripe of each horizontal stripe of record and horizontal stripe group 801a.When the horizontal stripe record of head relatively, on positive and negative two directions, stagger and 1～8 carry out record with the unit adjustment amount.If relatively head coincide with respect to the registration of benchmark head longitudinal direction, then horizontal stripe unanimity on the position of numerical value " 0 ".If the registration of longitudinal direction is misfitted, then consistent with horizontal stripe on the position of the corresponding numerical value of its side-play amount.
Equally, horizontal aligning adjustment member 802 in the unit writes down 4 groups of 17 parallel taeniae group 802a with benchmark head (K) with predetermined distance, and a certain amount of record that carries out that staggers in turn on longitudinal direction.And then 3 gaps between these taeniae groups 802a are respectively with comparing head (C, M, Y) the corresponding taeniae of each taeniae of record and taeniae group 802a.When the taeniae record of head relatively, on positive and negative two directions, stagger and 1～8 carry out record with the unit adjustment amount.If relatively head coincide with respect to the registration of benchmark head transverse direction, then taeniae unanimity on the position of numerical value " 0 ".If the registration of transverse direction is misfitted, then consistent with taeniae on the position of the corresponding numerical value of its side-play amount.
Thereby the registration adjustment that the user writes down by visual examination just can be confirmed the position of the comparison bar consistent with datum strip thus with pattern 700.The numeric representation of on the comparison bar of this unanimity, being given, with respect to the record head that has write down datum strip (benchmark head), the record head (relatively head) that has write down this comparison bar from originally should the amount of position skew.If the numerical value of the comparison bar consistent with datum strip is " 0 ", mean that then this comparison head is on the correct position with respect to the benchmark head.
In addition, by sending the instruction of indication registration adjustment with pattern recording from master computer to tape deck 100, the registration adjustment just can be carried out record by record portion 106 with pattern 700.
The processing of the flow chart of Fig. 7 is read and is carried out the control program of being stored in ROM1014 or the hard disk 1113 by CPU1012 (Fig. 4) in master computer 101 in the present embodiment and is achieved.
At first, by tape deck 100 record registration adjustment patterns 700 (S601).So tape deck 100 is obtained user's assistance, at first carry out the registration adjustment between record cell, next carries out the registration adjustment between the interior head of each record cell.
During registration between record cell was adjusted, adjustment member 800 made the numerical value (adjusted value between record cell) of line (bar) overlaid part import and accept (S602) from the input part of master computer 101 between user's reference unit.In the example of Fig. 9, can read throughput direction+3 (803), transverse direction-1 (804).Among a plurality of record cells with the unit, for example record cell 108F of regulation as reference cell, carry out the setting of adjusted value for adjacent record cell order from master computer 101.At this moment, carry out the 1st automatically adjusting and handling and the 2nd adjust automatically and handle (S603, S604).It is that the interlock reflection of describing in detail is later handled that the 1st automatic adjustment is handled.The 2nd automatic adjustment processing is that the registration equalization between record cell is handled.Handle resulting adjusted value according to adjusting automatically by the 2nd, the registration of the benchmark head of each record cell is upgraded.
Utilizing Figure 10, Figure 11 to adjust with regard to the registration of the general head width direction (transverse direction) in the end of a thread type record cell (following, be called horizontal aligning) before the 1st automatically adjusts the explanation of handling here, describes simply.
Generally speaking the record head 200 of line style also possesses the adjustment nozzle 902 that regulation is counted about it except the nozzle 901 of posting field width segments.Comprising total nozzle number of adjusting with nozzle 902 counts than the regulation of correspondingly Duoing corresponding to the nozzle number of the needed posting field width of reality.Thereby, by set selectively the full nozzle rows adjusted about will comprising with the record head 200 of nozzle 902 from which nozzle to which nozzle as effective posting field of reality, just can carry out transverse direction record position adjustment and record head physical property ground is moved.For example, carrying black, dark green, pinkish red, yellow 4 record head 200K, C, M, under the situation of Y, when on the installation site of each record head, producing skew as shown in Figure 10, just can adjust horizontal aligning, so that effective posting field unanimity of the transverse direction of each record head by the recording nozzles that changes a dark green 200C, a yellow 200Y as shown in Figure 11.By means of this function, just can absorb the alignment error of the physical property of each record cell.
Reference recording head by each record cell is that registration adjustment between record cell is carried out in the horizontal aligning adjustment of blackhead.Just, the blackhead by other record cell carries out the registration adjustment between a plurality of record cells with respect to the horizontal aligning adjustment of the blackhead of reference recording unit.But, under the situation of the posting field that has changed blackhead because of the horizontal aligning adjustment of blackhead, just need this blackhead as benchmark for also the link adjustment of the transverse direction that carries out same amount of other clour mixing.
Resulting as described above final registration adjusted value is sent to tape deck from master computer 101, is stored in each record cell in its storage part.The registration adjusted value of being preserved is referenced when recording processing, carries out the adjustment of registration.
According to Figure 12 (a)～(d), adjust processing automatically with regard to the 1st and describe.When the adjustment of carrying out between a plurality of record cells, original under the situation of having carried out the adjustment between record cell 108F and the record cell 108E, adjust the record of using pattern again after making its adjusted value reflection, secondly as the adjustment between record cell 108E and the record cell 108D, use pattern whenever adjusting just must write down again to adjust, very trouble.
In the present invention, original state with respect to the such full record cell shown in Figure 12 (a), shown in Figure 12 (b) like that for carry out as benchmark with record cell 108F and record cell 108E between adjustment, and when the adjusted value of the blackhead of record cell 108E carried out importing (1101), linking with it also all made identical adjusted value be reflected (1102) simultaneously in record cell 108D～108A.Mutual position relation between record cell 108A～108E just remains untouched and is preserved thus.
In addition, in Figure 12 (a)～(d), adjust as the position between record cell, on transverse direction, record cell staggered for convenience of explanation and represent, but the effective range (effectively posting field) that is actually as described above nozzle rows staggers, rather than is staggered in the physical property position of record cell.
Secondly, such shown in Figure 12 (c), in order to carry out the adjustment of record cell 108D as benchmark with record cell 108E, and adjusted value 1104 has been carried out (1103) when the input, will the adjusted value identical be only applicable to record cell 108D and also be applicable to all follow-up record cell 108C～108A with its adjusted value.Secondly, such shown in Figure 12 (d), in order to carry out the adjustment of record cell 108C as benchmark with record cell 108D, and adjusted value 1106 has been carried out (1105) when the input, will the adjusted value identical be only applicable to record cell 108C and also be applicable to follow-up record cell 108B～108A with its adjusted value.
By carrying out this processing repeatedly, the record cell that is compared with respect to the record cell of benchmark just, the user will be remained untouched from the value that the registration adjustment reads with pattern and be set, and also only just can adjust by the suitable identical adjusted value that links for the trailer record unit of the record cell that is compared simultaneously.In addition, the registration adjustment with the record of pattern also with one just all can save the time of adjustment.
If the registration adjusted value like this between the setting recording unit is adjusted processing automatically with regard to then carrying out the 2nd.Such as described above, be after adjustment between record cell has been carried out in the horizontal aligning adjustment of blackhead, to carry out horizontal aligning adjustment with blackhead as benchmark at benchmark head for the clour mixing in each record cell by each record cell.Therefore, if also be partial to which limit, according to circumstances just have and adjust the anxiety that becomes impossible as the big then adjusting range of clour mixing of adjusted value deviation of the blackhead of benchmark.For example, the horizontal aligning of considering blackhead is adjusted the result (1200A～1200F) is become situation as shown in Figure 13.Alignment adjustment value between the unit that the numeric representation shown in the drawings in the bracket is confirmed for each record cell.So because the record cell 108F of right-hand member is its adjusted value of record cell as benchmark is 0.
Like this too in other record cell.The benchmark head of following each record cell is the horizontal aligning adjustment of blackhead, effective posting field of the clour mixing in each record cell for example in record cell 108B as shown in the part 1201 like that, be adjusted the amount identical with blackhead.But, owing to similarly move for the effective posting field of whole record heads in the record cell, thus in each record cell each clour mixing with respect to the side-play amount of blackhead constant (promptly being maintained).
In the example of Figure 13, the deviation that the horizontal aligning of the blackhead of record cell 108B is adjusted the result is bigger, it remains untouched and is also reflected on the clour mixing with record cell, so the scope that the horizontal aligning adjustment of clour mixing may be carried out just is limited in the small range.Just, the stage of aim at adjusting in next unit, about any one clour mixing among the record cell 108B, need be under the situation that the horizontal aligning that carries out right on the figure is adjusted with respect to blackhead, its transportable adjustment amount be just terrifically little.Its result, the situation that can not carry out necessary horizontal aligning adjustment will take place.
So, automatically adjust in the processing the 2nd, in order to prevent the deviation of adjusting range, and carry out among the adjusted value of each record cell, finding the solution mean value, and whole record cells are commonly revised the processing that its adjusted value is set again by this mean value by maximum and minimum of a value.So wherein since be make mean value near the direction of 0 direction actual shifts just with the opposite in sign of mean value.The adjustment result of record cell 108B and record cell 108E becomes maximum and minimum of a value in the example of Figure 13.For example the adjusted value at record cell 108B is-14, and the adjusted value of record cell 108E is under+2 the situation, so because its mean value is-6 with the corresponding displacement 6 on+direction of the adjusted value of whole record cells.Its result of expression among Figure 14.Just now be that the possible range adjusted of the horizontal aligning of the clour mixing of record cell 108B is minimum as can be known, but improved by displacement at the correction value 1300 of the full record head of whole record cells.
Return Fig. 7, if the 2nd automatic the adjustment finishes just to carry out the record (S605) of registration adjustment once again with pattern.If aforesaid adjustment is correctly carried out, then adjustment member 800 just should be overlapping at the local datum line and the alternative line of all scales " 0 " between the unit.Confirm that according to this viewpoint the adjustment between record cell correctly carried out (S606).This affirmation is undertaken by the user is visual, system accept this visual result whether the result's of " OK " input carry out.
If correctly adjusted then then carried out registration adjustment between record head in each record cell.As Figure 10, to accept with the benchmark head as shown in Figure 11 be the input of the numerical value (adjusted value) of the consistent part of blackhead straight line that writes down and the line that utilizes other record heads (clour mixing) (bar), and upgrades the registration adjusted value (S607) of each clour mixing.
In addition, adjust the stage of handling automatically the shown in Figure 14 the 2nd, each clour mixing is with respect to remain untouched side-play amount under in store Figure 13 situation of the side-play amount of the blackhead of each record cell.That is, the adjustment of writing down in the stage of the step S605 of Fig. 7 with pattern in skew between the supposition record cell all be 0, each clour mixing should be identical with pattern with the adjustment of being write down among the step S601 with respect to the side-play amount of the blackhead in the record cell.Adjustment among the step S605 is to be used for adjusting between confirmation unit successfully carrying out with the record of pattern all the time as can be known in view of the above, and this step S605 is also nonessential.The adjustment of being write down among the enough step S601 of adjusted value energy in the record cell of importing in step S607 is confirmed with pattern with regard to enough (also can be that the adjustment of being write down among the enough step S606 of energy is confirmed with pattern, but both being same value).
Write down registration adjustment pattern (S608) at last again, and confirm that registration is correctly adjusted (S609) between the interior head of record cell.Acceptance from the visual result of user whether the result's of " OK " input carry out this affirmation by system.If correctly adjusted then whole registration adjustment ends of job.This step S609 takes that really industry also is arbitrarily as, does not need necessarily to carry out.
As according to above explanation as can be known, the input of the adjusted value among step S602 and the S607 can also once be carried out with pattern based on an adjustment of being write down at step S601.The decision of the adjusted value of the final clour mixing of each record cell can be obtained by following simple calculating, i.e. the adjusted value of the blackhead of resulting this record cell of interlock add operation of adjusted value and be used for the adjusted value of addition clour mixing on the correction value result altogether of equalization between will be by record cell.
In addition, the correction of above-mentioned adjusted value both can be carried out with master computer, also can be undertaken by among the record cell.
Below only be illustrated with regard to the registration of transverse direction, promptly use the paper throughput direction about longitudinal direction, the selection in the use zone of nozzle rows that can be by replacing record head, and revise each record head all carries out longitudinal direction with respect to the recording timing with paper of being carried registration adjustment.But,, do not need above-mentioned registration equalization to handle owing under the situation of longitudinal direction, there is not the system limit of the such adjusted value of transverse direction.
Like this, in the present embodiment, just can provide a kind of at a plurality of record cells of configuration, and to same paper used for recording by the document image of a plurality of recording unit records through over-segmentation, and form in the tape deck of a document image, can easily adjust between record cell or record cell in head between registration, and form the register system of high quality image.
In the embodiment described above, the registration adjustment that user self is write down when to the registration adjustment is checked with pattern, and decision adjusted value, but also can be in row's paper portion of tape deck, to possess image read-outs such as scanner, automatically read the registration adjustment of being write down with image read-out with pattern and determine the system of adjusted value.If the words user of this system just can carry out the adjustment operation of trouble and the registration of tape deck is adjusted.
In any case, " the adjustment value setting unit part " among the present invention is to carry out utilizing with pattern based on the registration adjustment of being write down that user or reading device are accepted the processing of numerical value input, any parts of the processing that is provided with based on the processing of the final adjusted value of the numerical solution of being imported and to each record cell.
In addition, though represented the situation that each record cell carries 4 record heads in the above-described embodiment, the number of the record head in the record cell is not limited to 4.For example, also can use the same method and adjust registration even if appended the record cell of the record head of light color for the tonal gradation that improves document image.And then the benchmark head of establishing in the record cell is a blackhead, but also can be other clour mixing.It can also be the formation that in record cell, adopts a plurality of blackheads.The number of record cell also is not limited to 6.
In addition, though be illustrated with regard to the tape deck of ink-jet recording, so long as a plurality of record cell each have the formation of a plurality of line style heads, then recording mode is not limited to ink-jet.Paper used for recording also is not limited to the paper used for recording of sheet, and is also effective for label paper, the label paper of long size shape.
According to present embodiment, just can use based on being recorded in a registration adjustment on the recording medium with the adjusted value that pattern determined, there is not adjusted value weak point ground to carry out the registration adjustment to all record cells at short notice with fewer workload.Its result just can easily carry out the registration adjustment and carry out the record of high image quality.
