Definitions
- the invention relates to a print head thermal control for a thermal printing device according to the im Preamble of claim 1 specified type.
- the invention apply to a direct thermal, Thermal transfer or ETR printhead or inkjet printheads applied with associated pressure control will.
- Such printing devices can for example in franking machines or other mail processing machines can be used advantageously.
- DE 39 21 217 A1 already a calculation based on a Recording energy, a compensation energy and a heat storage energy that already before the Acts on the pressure element, presented.
- the excitation time is then based on this calculation or voltage level of the pressure pulse reset.
- Such a calculation in which the energy state must be taken into account before each printing process and new heat storage data for the subsequent one Energy state is generated and stored either only with additional complex hardware feasible or the printhead cannot be used for higher Print speeds are used.
- EP 329 369 A2 describes a method for controlling the Feeding a thermal print head known, in which the print data of the previous and current ones Control processes are evaluated by the Thermal state of a printing element of the thermal print head to determine. After the analysis, the appropriate preheated pressure elements or corrective heating performed. Such subsequent analysis (so-called historical control) binds computing time. This is always disadvantageous if achieved a particularly high printing speed shall be. None of the aforementioned thermal print head controls becomes the influence of the ambient temperature or the print head parameter change, for example through aging, directly taken into account.
- a thermal transfer printhead is known from EP 421 353 A1 can be operated in different print modes.
- On the head is a thermometer attached to the head supplied pressure energy depending on the Head temperature and depending on the head strain To regulate (print mode).
- the Pulse width reduced with increasing head temperature, without data processing (historical control) used for preheating pulses or for heating pulses must become. The process therefore works less precisely as a process with historical control, so that only a combination of both the required accuracy can be achieved. This again presents the disadvantage time-consuming data processing.
- thermometer elements would be that they are still too sluggish on temperature changes respond (due to thermal storage of the head) and the other that attaching the Thermal pills on the head an additional effort means. Influences of the ambient temperature are only detected about the head temperature, although it is already even without triggering the printing process on the ribbon can reduce quality.
- DE 41 33 207 A1 describes a method for controlling the supply of a thermal pressure heating element is known, where the print data for several future Pressure gaps to be taken into account Number of preheating pulses before printing selectively for each Determine pressure element.
- the thermal print head control has no temperature measuring means.

- a thermistor is placed in the Supply voltage supply line to the printhead switched.
- the thermistor has a temperature characteristic which corresponds to that of the ribbon. So change easily feed currents in a particular Relationship to the ambient temperature. By the Voltage drop across the thermistor in the Power supply line goes energy for printing lost. The efficiency is particularly for Higher resolution printheads, i.e. with many Pressure points (dots) worsened. Besides, it can a fluctuation of the depending on the printed image Printed image cannot be corrected.
- the ribbon or the recording medium has a lot lower heat capacity than the printhead and consequently reacts faster to temperature fluctuations. It was found that a Temperature measurement on the printhead is advantageous Way can be omitted and that also in the Bypass temperature measurement, i.e. if the printhead not thermally coupled with the temperature sensor is a much faster response tent is guaranteed, in contrast to conventional on the Printhead used thermal sensors.
- the object of the invention is to that the print head thermal control is a combination of power electronics assigned to a pressure control unit, which corresponds to the amplitude of the printhead voltage regulates the ambient temperature, and one Control unit based on a predictive control procedure for feeding individual pressure elements with Pressure pulses and with preheating pulses at variable Pulse duration works, has.
- a predictive tax procedure will be beneficial future control parameters calculated so that also those to be expected from changes in temperature Influences remain relatively small. That leaves the Control deviation low and strong fluctuations in the Regulation is avoided, i.e. an overshoot occurs not on.
- a potentiometer Through a storable presetting of parameters, can be a potentiometer through a software potentiometer named circuit to be replaced.
- a software pot can be done by a service technician via actuators the keyboard 2 is set in service mode without opening the franking machine must become.

- the volatile storage medium 7 is, for example, a RAM chip or a internal RAM of the micro-processor in the control unit 6.
- the control unit 6 reads from the connected Pixel memory 7 from the pixel image data and edited this data to the print control unit 14 Print image data according to the predictive Tax proceedings.
- the corresponding is Operating program stored in the program memory 11.
- the thermistor which is only the ambient temperature can therefore be a cheap design instead of expensive thermistor pill are used because the No longer arranged on the printhead.
- the Thermistor is no longer placed directly on the printhead must be, on the one hand results from the use of the the aforementioned predictive tax procedure.
