Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of printing technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a system, and a storage medium for confirming a toner remaining amount of a printer.
Background
In the printing business, the printer using the consumable chip can detect the residual quantity of the carbon powder in the printer through the chip and feed back the user so as to replace the carbon powder containing device such as the selenium drum and the powder box in time, thereby avoiding influencing the printing quality due to insufficient carbon powder in the printing process, and also avoiding the operation of a printing head under the condition without carbon powder, and protecting the service life of the printer.
However, the method for calculating the consumption amount of the carbon powder and the residual amount of the carbon powder in the printing task in the prior art is not accurate. The existing scheme is that the carbon powder amount consumed by a standard sample with the printing coverage rate of 5% is roughly obtained through a test method, then the value of the carbon powder consumption of the current task is roughly calculated through the mapping relation between the current printing coverage rate and the standard sample with the standard 5%, and the carbon powder remaining amount is further calculated. Because the error generated by calculation of the existing scheme is larger, the consumable chip can not truly reflect the residual quantity of the carbon powder, so that the judgment of the printer is inaccurate, if the printer judges that the residual quantity of the carbon powder is 0%, printing can not be continued, and certain carbon powder remains in the actual carbon powder accommodating device, so that resource waste is caused; or the printer judges that the toner residual amount is more than 0%, but no toner remains in the actual toner accommodating device, so that the printed image is lost. Therefore, the current method for confirming the toner remaining amount of the printer needs to be improved.

The method for updating the toner residue of the printer in the prior art comprises the steps of firstly obtaining the toner residue in a consumable chip, and then removing the consumed toner in the current task, so as to obtain the toner residue after the task is completed. Typically, the method of measuring nominal capacity of consumables in the industry is to print a test using 5% coverage coupons specified in the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, which are A4 size. The method comprises the steps of obtaining the carbon powder consumption of a printing task, namely weighing the carbon powder consumption of a standard sample with the printing coverage rate of 5% through a large number of experiments, and obtaining the carbon powder consumption according to the mapping relation between the target coverage rate of the current printing task and the standard sample with the printing coverage rate of 5%. However, the print job thus obtained consumes a relatively coarse amount of toner, and is not an actual amount of toner consumed. In addition, the target coverage rate is only the print quantity data in a unit area, and although the printing medium commonly used by the user is of the size of A4, other sizes such as A5 and B5 can be also formed, and the target coverage rate is calculated simply, so that when the user prints a large number of sizes except for A4, a large error is caused in the result of calculating the consumed toner quantity. Finally, the residual quantity of the carbon powder after the current task is calculated is greatly different from the actual residual quantity of the carbon powder, and misjudgment is caused on the using condition of the printer carbon powder.
In order to solve the problems, the invention adopts a carbon powder point algorithm, and can accurately calculate the actual consumed carbon powder point and the residual quantity of the carbon powder point after the current printing task through the designed carbon powder consumption effective point calculation and the carbon powder consumption ineffective point calculation, thereby accurately calculating the residual quantity of the carbon powder in the carbon powder accommodating device after the current printing task. The situation that the main controller of the printer causes misjudgment on the printer due to larger calculation error of the residual toner amount, such as the main control system prompts that the residual toner amount is sufficient but no toner exists in the actual toner accommodating device or prompts that the residual toner amount is 0% but a large amount of toner exists in the actual toner accommodating device is avoided.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for confirming a toner remaining amount of a printer, for a main controller of the printer, including the steps of:
step S101, print job task information sent by a user side is obtained, the print job task information is analyzed into dot matrix data for controlling printing action, and effective printing points consumed by carbon powder of a printer are calculated according to the total number of printing points in the dot matrix data, the ambient temperature and humidity and a printing mode.
The effective printing point number of the printer carbon powder consumption is obtained by the following formula:
β＝ε×Δ 1 ×Δ 2
wherein, beta represents the effective printing point number consumed by the carbon powder of the printer, epsilon represents the total number of printing points in the dot matrix data, and delta 1 Representing the weighting constant, delta, related to the ambient temperature and humidity 2 Representing the weighting constants associated with the print mode.
Specifically, the user side sends the print job task to the printer through the USB, the network or the infinite port, and the printer main controller analyzes and records the print job task information, such as the number of printed pages, the single-sided and double-sided, the paper size, the print mode and the like, and analyzes and generates dot matrix data. And further calculating the effective printing points consumed by the carbon powder of the printer according to the total number of printing points in the dot matrix data, the ambient temperature and humidity and the printing mode.
Weighting constant delta related to ambient temperature and humidity 1 Weighting constant delta associated with print mode 2 The assignment is different according to different logic rules. The printer can sense the external environment through the temperature and humidity sensor, and the external environment can be divided into low-temperature low-humidity, normal-temperature normal-humidity and high-temperature high-humidity environments according to the environmental temperature and humidity specified in national standard 17540. The printing mode can be classified into a normal mode and an ink-saving mode.
In order to reduce the calculation error of the effective printing point number of the carbon powder consumption, the weighting constant delta is preferably set in the embodiment according to the principle design and a large number of test verification 1 The method comprises the following steps: delta in low temperature and low humidity environment 1 =110%; in the environment of normal temperature and normal humidity,Δ 1 =100%; delta in high temperature and high humidity environment 1 =90%. Preferably, the weighting constant delta is set 2 The method comprises the following steps: in normal mode, delta 2 =100%; in the ink-saving mode, delta 2 ＝50％。
For example, in a high temperature and high humidity environment, the effective printing point consumed by the carbon powder of the printer can be calculated by selecting the ink-saving mode to perform the printing job task:
β＝ε×90％×50％。
step S102, calculating invalid printing points of the carbon powder consumption of the printer according to the idle carbon powder consumption points of the printer and the waste powder points during normal printing.
The invalid printing point number of the printer carbon powder consumption is obtained by the following formula:
γ＝a×t+Δ 3 ×Δ 4 ×b
wherein, gamma represents the invalid printing point number of the printer carbon powder consumption, a represents the idle carbon powder consumption point number in the unit time of the printer, t represents the idle time, a×t represents the idle carbon powder consumption point number of the printer, b represents the waste powder point number in the unit area, and delta 3 Representing the correlation constant of b and the environmental temperature and humidity, delta 4 A correlation constant indicating b and print size, Δ 3 ×Δ 4 X b represents the number of waste toner dots at the time of normal printing.
Specifically, when the printer idles during preheating or when the motor of the front and rear cover is opened or closed, such as idling of the toner supply roller, transfer roller, photosensitive drum, etc., a certain amount of waste toner is caused. Normal print jobs also cause a degree of waste toner under different external temperature and humidity conditions, such as waste toner that is scraped by a developer blade onto a waste toner cartridge, such as waste toner that is transferred onto paper to form bottom ash. The amount of waste powder is also related to the size of the printed image. Therefore, the invention calculates the carbon powder consumption point number when the printer idles, and the waste powder point number related to the environment temperature and humidity and the printing size during normal printing, and forms the invalid printing point number of the printer carbon powder consumption together.
Correlation constant delta 3 、Δ 4 And assigning different values according to different environmental humiture and different paper sizes. According to the originalPhysical design and numerous experiments prove that the invention preferably sets the association constant delta 3 The method comprises the following steps: delta in low temperature and low humidity environment 3 =100%; delta in normal temperature and humidity environment 3 =120%; delta in high temperature and high humidity environment 3 =150%. Correlation constant delta 4 For the ratio of print size to unit area, the invention takes the A4 paper size 210mm by 297mm as unit area.
For example, in a high temperature and high humidity environment, when the printer is started, preheated and idly rotated for 15 seconds and then prints 5 images with A5 size, the number of invalid printing points consumed by the printer carbon powder is as follows:
γ＝15a+150％×[(148×210)/(210×297)]×b
step S103, obtaining the total carbon powder point number pre-written when the carbon powder accommodating device leaves the factory and the current total carbon powder residual point number of the carbon powder accommodating device, and calculating the current carbon powder residual amount of the carbon powder accommodating device according to the effective printing point number consumed by the carbon powder of the printer, the ineffective printing point number consumed by the carbon powder of the printer, the total carbon powder point number pre-written when the carbon powder accommodating device leaves the factory and the current total carbon powder residual point number of the carbon powder accommodating device.
The current toner remaining amount of the toner accommodating device is obtained through the following calculation:
θ＝(λ-β-γ)/α×100％
wherein θ represents the current toner remaining amount of the toner accommodating device, λ represents the current total toner remaining number of the toner accommodating device, β represents the effective printing number of the printer toner consumption, γ represents the ineffective printing number of the printer toner consumption, and α represents the total number of the toner pre-written when the toner accommodating device leaves the factory.
Step S104, the calculated current toner remaining amount of the toner containing device updates the toner remaining amount information stored in the printer memory.
Specifically, after the current value of the toner remaining amount θ of the toner containing device after the print job is completed is calculated according to steps S101 to S103, the printer main controller updates the value of θ in the memory, and determines and outputs the result of the toner remaining amount according to the pre-written logic, so as to continuously update the printer toner remaining amount information.
According to the method for confirming the toner residual quantity of the printer, the toner point algorithm is adopted, the toner consumption effective printing point algorithm and the toner consumption ineffective printing point algorithm are designed, and the current effective printing point number of the toner consumption of the printer and the invalid printing point number of the toner consumption of the printer are calculated according to the total pre-written toner point number when the toner accommodating device leaves a factory, the current total toner residual point number of the toner accommodating device, the calculated effective printing point number of the toner consumption of the printer and the calculated invalid printing point number of the toner consumption of the printer, the current toner residual quantity of the toner accommodating device is finally calculated and updated in a printer memory, so that the calculation accuracy of the toner consumption of the printer and the toner residual quantity of the printer is effectively improved, the accuracy of judging whether the toner residual quantity of the printer meets the continuous use or not by a main controller is improved, and misjudgment caused by inconsistent calculation of the toner residual quantity and actual toner residual quantity is effectively avoided, and therefore the utilization rate of the printer and the quality of a printed image are improved.
