Abstract
The invention provides a resetting method for ink level information of a multi-color ink box chip. By setting a resetting indication location, when any of the ink boxes has low ink volume, the ink excess information in all ink boxes is reset for once, thus avoiding the trouble caused by a plurality of resetting, reducing the times of cleaning printheads, avoiding wasting ink and prolonging the service life of the ink boxes.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of data processing method of intelligent chip, the ink balance information repositioning method in especially a kind of polychrome ink box chip that is applied in the imaging device.
Background technology
On the used print cartridge of ink-jet printer ink box chip is housed mostly, is installed to when working in the printer when print cartridge, ink box chip can be realized carrying out the information data exchange with printer.Generally store fix informations such as date of manufacture, manufacturer, device code in the ink box chip, also be used to store simultaneously variable informations such as ink surplus.The ink balance information is one of important information of real time record in the ink box chip, printer can calculate the ink surplus by the ink-jet number of times that adds up, and also it writes ink box chip with this balance information, in the print cartridge course of work (when especially print cartridge just has been installed on the printer), printer can be learnt the ink surplus situation of current print cartridge by reading ink balance information in the ink box chip, and then judge whether the excess ink in the print cartridge can also finish print out task, if being judged as the ink surplus, printer can not finish print out task (for example the ink surplus is lower than 10%), then printer will be to User Alarms, print cartridge is changed in prompting, when printer is judged as ink when having used up, ink box chip will be written into the information of representative " ink exhausts " implication, and print cartridge can not re-use.No matter whether the ink in the print cartridge really exhausts, and also no matter whether the user fills ink with print cartridge once more, once ink box chip is written into " ink exhausts " information, print cartridge can not reuse, unless the ink box chip that the user more renews.
Print cartridge need be irritated again under China ink and the prerequisite that reuses the user, for fear of complicated processes and cost problem that frequent replacing chip brings, industry is brought into use the ink box chip of the ink balance information that can automatically reset.After printer sends the not enough alarm of surplus China ink, if the user closes printer, open printing machine again then, then can the automatically reset ink box chip of ink balance information of this kind can reset to 100% with the China ink amount of ink, that is, printer will think that this is a new print cartridge, and continue to print.
Yet, when the reset mode of above-mentioned this ink balance information is applied in the color inkjet printer, have following technical problem: because the employed polychrome print cartridge of color inkjet printer generally is several independently little print cartridges, or in a big print cartridge several independently Xiao Mo chambeies are set, the color of the ink of institute's splendid attire has nothing in common with each other in each little print cartridge or the Xiao Mo chamber, accordingly, ink surplus in each little print cartridge or the Xiao Mo chamber all is recorded in the corresponding metering region in the ink box chip, or measure respectively by a plurality of chips respectively, this is the mode of equivalence for those skilled in the art, finish the colour print task with this, when the ink of certain color takes the lead in approaching using up, when promptly being lower than certain predetermined value, the ink of other color generally all also has certain residue, for example, the surplus of black ink is lower than at 10% o'clock, magenta ink may also remain 25%, if reset the black ink balance information this moment, so, printer will be carried out the operation of cleaning printhead before beginning to print, magenta ink also can cause loss in the process of cleaning, cause Yu Moliang to reduce to about 20% from 25%, if print once more after cleaning finishes, the surplus of magenta ink will soon be lower than 10%, printer is reported to the police once more, need reset the once more balance information of magenta ink of user, then, clean printhead once more, in the process of this frequent clean printhead, ink is by a large amount of wastes, the ink balance information of corresponding shades of colour ink is resetted successively in the polychrome ink box chip, causes printing frequent interruption, brings inconvenience to the user.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of ink box chip and carry out the method that the ink balance information resets expeditiously color printer.
For achieving the above object, ink box chip involved in the present invention comprises memory cell, comprise the metering zone and the China ink amount recovering mark position of the balance information of storing various inks in the memory cell, the repositioning method of multicolor ink box chip ink balance information of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
By above scheme as seen, the repositioning method of multicolor ink box chip ink balance information provided by the present invention can be when the quantity of ink in any print cartridge be low, the reset sign, printer send next time read the order of ink surplus after, ink balance information in all print cartridges is carried out disposable resetting, avoided the trouble that repeatedly resets and brought, and reduced the number of times that cleans printhead, avoid the waste of ink, prolonged the service life of print cartridge.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the repositioning method of the multicolor ink box chip ink balance information that reaches of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
Referring to shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 has disclosed the repositioning method flow chart of the multicolor ink box chip ink balance information that reaches of the present invention.Before describing the present invention in detail, at first introduce polychrome ink box chip involved in the present invention, polychrome ink box chip involved in the present invention can be the MCU (microcontroller) of one 8051 series, its inside comprises microprocessor and memory cell, microprocessor can be finished the reception of data, relatively wait processing, comprise nonvolatile memory (for example EEPROM) in the memory cell, it comprises metering zone and a China ink amount recovering mark position (can be special register or the like) of the balance information that is used to store various inks, two kinds of signs of storage in the China ink amount recovering mark position: normal sign (for example " 0 ") and reseting mark (for example " 1 ").The MCU that is similar to 8051 series is very known chip, does not give unnecessary details at this.
The repositioning method of multicolor ink box chip ink balance information involved in the present invention may further comprise the steps:
After the execution of step 5, re-execute step 1, wait for that printer sends the order of reading the ink surplus next time.
Because the repositioning method of multicolor ink box chip ink balance information of the present invention can be when the quantity of ink in any print cartridge or the black chamber be low, the reset sign, printer send next time read the order of ink surplus after, ink balance information in all print cartridges or the black chamber is carried out disposable resetting, avoided the trouble that repeatedly resets and brought, and reduced the number of times that cleans printhead, and avoided the waste of ink, prolonged the service life of print cartridge.
Certainly the foregoing description only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment with regard to its more wide form, for example, reseting mark can be set at " 0 ", and will indicate normally and be set at " 1 " that this is conspicuous equivalent transformation.In addition, the particular value in the step 4 also is not limited to 25%, can be 15% numerical value such as grade.Suchlike equivalent transformation all should be included in the protection domain of claim.
