In a print head, a ratio K/N is an irreducible fraction with the proviso that N is the number of nozzles, K is the interval of nozzles. Line scanning printing of an image is intermittently performed at a Scan and paper feeding by lines of nozzle number is performed in the sub-scanning direction by a unit of K. The above operation is repeated, then the printing of the image in the resolution more precise than the actual interval of nozzles in the sub-scanning direction is performed. A setting value related to K is taken as a parameter and an interleave operation is executed based on the setting value. To provide a printer capable of printing images having plural resolutions in the sub-scanning direction by one head.

Description

Printer
The present invention relates to a kind of printhead scanning-type printer such as ink-jet printer.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind ofly can utilize same printhead to carry out the printer that multiple mixing is interleaved and can print with various different resolutions.
A kind of ink-jet printer is applicable to according to control signal and sprays ink droplet and ink droplet is sprayed on to be recorded as (being designated hereinafter simply as " record-paper ") on paper or the film from nozzle.In recent years, such printer can reduce cost because of it and minification is able to popular.
The method of spraying ink droplet from nozzle is classified as the method for printing ink being exerted pressure by the piezoelectric element distortion and the gasification process by printing ink and the pressure in bubbles that utilization produced in the heater element heated nozzle usually.
Meanwhile, the e-file preparation that is commonly called " desktop publishing " is implemented in office effectively.People's requirement all the more not only can printable character or figure, and natural image such as photo that can printing color.
In such application, also require to print with various different resolutions with a printer.
In other words, by treating that print What (character, natural image etc.) or printing purpose (test print or regular printing) or record-paper type (plain paper, recycled writing paper, specific for paper, OHP paper etc.) decide required resolution ratio.
By the way, as the method that satisfies above-mentioned requirements, people have proposed a kind of a kind of printhead and method to print than the higher resolution ratio of the determined resolution ratio of jetting-nozzle space of typing head of adopting.
Known first method is to comprise the feeding of resolution unit spacing and two kinds of second scanning feeds of the single printhead length of actual feeding.
The second method that people know is to carry out interlacing control on sub scanning direction.
First method needs two kinds of second scanning feeds, and this makes required feeding control of line printing and Data Control become complicated.
In addition, because same printhead is skipped many row ground recording occurring continuously on sub scanning direction, so the jet performance difference between each nozzle has become obviously, this causes so-called " striped " easily and picture quality is produced unfavorable influence.
In the second approach, same printhead carries out about two kinds of interlacing second scanning feeds usually, resolution ratio is restricted to about two kinds, and carries out the proprietary feeding control and the required Data Control of line printing of the required interlacing scan operation of each resolution ratio independently of one another.
Thereby predetermined resolution immobilizes, so shortcoming is to change resolution ratio.
The invention solves the problems referred to above.The purpose of this invention is to provide the printer that the enough same class printheads of a kind of energy print with multiple resolution ratio on sub scanning direction.
For achieving the above object, design a kind of printer according to the present invention, its along the both direction that is perpendicular to one another substantially when carrying out main scanning and subscan between to be recorded and the printing head support part, this printer forms document image according to picture signal, the nozzle that one group of number is N is being arranged on the printhead with resolution unit spacing K each interval on the sub scanning direction, K/N here is a simple fraction, wherein the K value is the arbitrary integer greater than 1, getting the setting value relevant with the K value is parameter, carries out the interlacing scan operation by carry out interleaved signal processing mode according to setting value.
In the present invention, just can on sub scanning direction, print, can on best sub scanning direction and in the common printing, select resolution ratio simultaneously with multiple resolution ratio with a printhead.Only just can in same interlacing scan processing procedure, realize each interlacing scan operation in the setting value of giving input on the sub scanning direction by a definite expression record-paper.

Below will the present invention be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the mode of preferred embodiment.
Figure 1A and 1B are the operating instruction figure of printhead used in printer of the present invention, wherein Figure 1A represents when printhead print position during with first resolution printing on sub scanning direction, Figure 1B represent when printhead at the print position of sub scanning direction during with second resolution printing, in Figure 1A and 1B, used same printhead.
For ease of understanding, show the injection original position of nozzle in the upper right side of figure.
The used printhead 101 of Figure 1A and 1B has many nozzles: N=3, the about 0.3387mm of injector spacing (being equivalent to 75dpi).
In first shown in Figure 1A prints embodiment, be to print under the situation of 150dpi at the dot spacing on main scanning and the sub scanning direction.As nozzle number N=3 and during injector spacing K=2 (thereby K/N=2/3, i.e. simple fraction) and make dot spacing on the main scanning direction be 150dpi driving constantly, printhead 101 begins to scan 1.
Printhead 101 carries out interlacing (every 3 row) scanning and printing in scanning 1.
Then, carry out paper feed according to K along sub scanning direction, wherein K is the unit quantity (3 row) of nozzle (N) * K.
For ease of understanding figure, the original position of scanning and printing is by 1 expression of the point on the main scanning direction, but has in fact vertically moved this position.
So, the paper feeding of carrying out according to standard interlacing scan operation is always according to the value of expression nozzle number and interlacing is carried out.
By carrying out said process repeatedly, can be to print less than the resolution ratio on the sub scanning direction of actual nozzle spacing.
Because printing is to be implemented by the nozzle of different adjacent lines, so if the print point of each nozzle is different because of the jet performance difference of each nozzle, then when when many row are observed, this difference is unconspicuous to the effect that improves picture quality.
In second embodiment shown in Figure 1B, be to print under the situation of 300dpi at the dot spacing on main scanning and the sub scanning direction, wherein the nozzle number N=3 of printhead 101 and injector spacing K=4 (so producing a simple fraction as described above), and drive printhead 101 constantly in the driving that makes the dot spacing=300dpi on the main scanning direction.Under the situation of nozzle number=3, on sub scanning direction according to unit quantity K with the form skip triplex row.
In the printing embodiment shown in Figure 1A and the 1B, produced the some footpath that is adapted to dot spacing (150dpi or 300dpi) most owing to having controlled each nozzle type of drive, so do not worry the China ink amount too much.In addition, also can under being the situation of 600dpi, the dot spacing on main scanning and the sub scanning direction print (although not shown), wherein nozzle number N=3 and injector spacing K=8, i.e. a simple fraction K/N=8/3.
Although the double-space operation is a kind of by print density that increases main scanning direction and the method that improves the resolution ratio of sub scanning direction simultaneously, also can improve the resolution ratio of major and minor scanning direction simultaneously.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1A and the 1B, with describe above-mentioned double-space operation with the printhead of three nozzles.Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of a printer prints header structure that more gears to actual circumstances.
That is to say that figure 2 illustrates that have 15 a nozzles and resolution ratio is the embodiment of 300dpi, 600dpi.
For ease of understanding, also to represent each scanning starting position along a point in the scanning process of main scanning direction at every turn, the position of nozzle N1 is represented by solid dot in Fig. 2.
In this embodiment, on sub scanning direction, carry out the interlacing scan operation with same printhead with 300dpi and 600dpi.
That is, K1/N=4/15, K2/N=8/15, they respectively produce a simple fraction.
Record-paper all is fed 15 row when each scanning, wherein K is a unit quantity, and the solid dot in each solid dot in the scanning 1 and the scanning 2 is leftward among the side figure and all moved 15 row among the right-hand side figure.
Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 the embodiment that the present invention is used biliquid mixed type ink-jet printer (carrier ink jet type) is described.
