Please refer to Fig. 4 to Fig. 6.Fig. 4 is the synoptic diagram of printing equipment 30 of the present invention.Fig. 5 is the functional block diagram of Fig. 4 printing equipment 30.Fig. 6 is the first embodiment vertical view of Fig. 4 printing equipment 30.Printing equipment 30 comprises a type element 32, is used for printing a file 42, a motor 34, is used for driving type element 32, and a control element 36, is used for controlling the translational speed of type element 32 according to a printing data 40.Wherein, printing equipment 30 can be an ink-jet printer or an ink-jet office machine.
As shown in Figure 6, control element 36 can control type elements 32 prolonging X-axis and is moving around in the A point to the E point range carrying out several print line journeys, and and then in a printing scope 44 (the B point is to the D point) print file 42.When printing equipment 30 beginning print file 42, type element 32 can move to the E point from the A point earlier and carry out first printing stroke.When second was printed stroke and begin, 32 of type elements can change to move to mode that A order from E point to be carried out its printing and moves.Printing equipment 30 is the above-mentioned step of repetitiousness always, finishes up to file 42 is printed.In the present embodiment, printing equipment 30 is to take to come print file 42 as the mode of above-mentioned bidirectional printing, and type element 32 is printed in the stroke and can be moved to the E point from the A point at odd number, and moves to the A point from the E point in even number printing stroke.But the move mode of above-mentioned type element 32 is the wherein a kind of of the whole bag of tricks that can take of the present invention, and printing equipment 30 of the present invention does not limit type element 32 and prints with above-mentioned move mode.In fact, except above-mentioned printing type, the printing type that printing equipment 30 of the present invention also can see through other comes print file 42, for example adopts the mode of another kind of unidirectional printing.When printing equipment 30 adopted the mode print file 42 of unidirectional printing, type element 32 was printed in the stroke in each, was to move from the A point towards the E point, and after executing each printing stroke, type element 32 can turn back to the A point again, printed stroke to carry out the next one.In addition, also have other kinds printing type to adopt, for example when above-mentioned when carrying out bidirectional printing or unidirectional printing, type element 32 will be starting point or terminal point with A point or E point not necessarily, and can the A point to the E point range any point be starting point or terminal point, and just change Print direction at A point any point to the E point range, to reach best printing effect.
In same printing stroke, the operating state of type element 32 can be divided into a printing state and a non-print state, and wherein type element 32 only when handling print state, just can print action with print file 42.The zone of being passed through when type element 32 is in print state is called a print zone 46, and type element 32 when being in non-print state the zone of the print range of passing through 44 be a non-print zone 48.Control element 36 can be printed the area dividing that type element 32 is passed through in stroke with each according to printed information 40 before printing equipment 30 is carried out each printing stroke be at least one print zone 46, and judged whether that one or more non-print zone 48 exists.When type element 32 is passed through print zone 46, control element 36 can move and print file 42 with one first translational speed by control type element 32, and exist and type element 36 when passing through non-print zone 48 when non-print zone 48, control element 36 can control motors 34 orders about type element 32 and moves with one second translational speed.
Please refer to Fig. 7.Fig. 7 is the graph of a relation of the Position And Velocity of Fig. 6 type element 32.Type element 32 when A point and E point, its moment translational speed be zero.Print in the stroke at odd number, control element 36 can quicken in the scope that the A point is ordered to B by control type element 32, and slows down in the scope that the D point is ordered to E.Print in the stroke at even number, control element 36 can quicken in the scope that the E point is ordered to D by control type element 32, and slows down in the scope that the B point is ordered to A.When type element 32 was passed through print zone 46, control element 36 can move with the first translational speed I by control type elements 32, and when passing through non-print zone 48, then controlled type element 32 and accelerate to the second translational speed II, moved with the second translational speed II again.Because the second translational speed II is greater than the first translational speed I, thus the time-write interval that printing equipment of the present invention 30 is spent can than time-write interval of traditional printing equipment 10 required costs lack.
Please refer to Fig. 8.Fig. 8 is the workflow diagram of Fig. 4 printing equipment 30.
Method of printing of the present invention comprises the following step:
