In the embodiment of the invention, the positioning resolution of the above-mentioned code strip can be smaller than that of a two-dimensional optical sensor, such as 2 〇 Lpi. Based on the above, the present invention uses a high-resolution two-dimensional optical sensor, a low-resolution encoder disk and/or a braided strip to correct two-dimensional light: (iv) the solution obtained by different printing papers. Solution. In addition, the inkjet two = 'can be radiant (four) time domain with high precision production. The above features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. , Wente [Embodiment] ΤΡΤ Today's printer in order to improve the positioning resolution, the use of the code (for example, 600LPI) of the code strip as a - dimensional positioning 1 Ϊ = 201209703 with two optical channel detection (four) to detect the grating The number is confirmed to achieve a positioning resolution of 2400 DH. In addition to the positioning of the spray two, it is necessary to control the printing paper in the direction of travel, and therefore the _ linear resolution of hundreds of Lpi (for example, 6 () with) is used as the positioning reference for the other dimension. To confirm the position of the shaft, 'However, the second = the higher the resolution, the higher the cost, and because the maximum riding degree that the mechanical parts can reach has its critical value, it can't follow the (4) the print resolution of the ink head grows synchronously. Therefore, when it is necessary to use a higher resolution (for example, 576 〇 Dpi), it is necessary to print the square interpolation resolution of the single interpolation method in the inkjet position s of 24_ΡΙ for printing. The accuracy of the time position is negative. 'So the high-resolution two-dimensional optical sensor can make the positioning resolution of the printing paper and the inkjet head increase with the resolution of the optical image. Increasing, she combines the low-coded code wheel and/or code strip to correct the resolution of the one-dimensional optical sensor for different printed papers to obtain a resolution that matches the actual displacement of the printed paper. Simultaneously correct the displacement distance measured by the two-dimensional optical sensorAt the same time, the positioning of the ink jet head in the horizontal direction can also be performed in such a manner as to save printing time and & south precision. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a flow chart showing a positioning method of a printer according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a partial schematic view of the printer of FIG. 1. Referring to Figures i and 2, the printing system 300 includes an inkjet printing device 2, a two-dimensional optical sensor Π0, a nozzle ink head 120, an encoder disk 132, and a code strip 134. The inkjet printing device 200 There is a physical detection area 112. The two-dimensional optical sensor 201209703 110, the nozzle ink head 120, the code disk 132 and the code strip 134 are all disposed in the inkjet printing device 200, wherein the two-dimensional optical sensor 110 is located on the nozzle ink head 12 The inkjet head 120 is positioned on the code strip 134, and the inkjet head 134 can move the brown strip 134 back and forth in the X direction. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in step S100, the printing paper 1 can detect the displacement of the paper by the light beam emitted by the two-dimensional optical sensor 110 to obtain a reference displacement. The light beam is, for example, laser light emitted by a laser diode or visible light emitted by a light-emitting diode. When the printing paper 100 enters a detecting area 112 via the paper feed cassette of the printer, the light beam reflected by the column paper 100 is returned to the two-dimensional optical sensor 11A to obtain an optical image. Resolution. However, since the resolution of the optical image differs depending on the surface roughness of the printing paper 100, for example, the surface roughness of the photo paper is different from that of the general paper, thereby affecting the resolution of the optical image. Therefore, when the displacement amount of the printing paper 100 is obtained based on the resolution of the optical image and the moving speed of the printing paper i 100 #, it is possible to obtain = no, and print the paper 1 〇. The actual displacement amount, it is necessary to use other positioning systems to correct the deviation displacement of the two-dimensional optical sensor 11 at the paper travel point p. β Refer to step S110. In order to obtain the amount of time for printing the paper 100, the present invention uses a low-resolution encoder disk 13 in the printer to calculate the printing paper just in the printing direction (the continuous displacement of the paper traveling direction). Since the purpose of the code disk 132 is not to provide the resolution, but to calculate the actual displacement amount of the shape paper contact, the 201209703 displacement calculated by the code disk 132 is the same for the printing paper 100 with the same degree of slash. The quantity is the actual displacement of each printed paper, and does not vary with the roughness of the sheet. Therefore, in step (10), the reference displacement of the printed paper is equal to == 〇 column "100" The actual displacement amount can obtain the deviation displacement amount, and the right deviation displacement $ does not exceed the set value. If the printing step si4Q is printed, f exceeds the set value, then step S130 is performed, and the processor in the positioning system can correct the optical image. The resolution is obtained to obtain the resolution of the interbay displacement amount of the printing paper _, and the displacement distance measured by the two-dimensional optical sensor UG is corrected. In this embodiment, the resolution of the optical image is up to 500. -0CPI, It is larger than the positioning resolution of the code disk 132. The positioning resolution of the code disk 132 can be much smaller than the resolution of the two-dimensional optical sensor 11〇, such as 2-port 0LPI, f does not need to use the high-resolution code disk 132, and simultaneously encodes The disk 132 is required to calculate the displacement of the printing paper 1 (8) by a single optical channel detector, so the cost is low. The same method of the ear position, the positioning of the inkjet head 12 〇 in the horizontal direction can also be simultaneously performed. Or separately before or after step S1 (K). Referring to step S1, 2, when the displacement amount of the inkjet head 12 is obtained according to the resolution of the optical image, the moving speed of the two-dimensional optical sensor 110 is obtained. It is then possible that the actual amount of displacement of the inkjet head 12 is not reached, so other clamping systems must be used to correct the amount of deviation displacement of the two-dimensional optical sensor 1(1) in the horizontal direction X. As shown in step S112. As described, the present invention employs a low resolution code strip 134 in the printer, and uses the code strip 134 to calculate the actual amount of displacement of the ink jet head 12 on the = paper 100. Since the purpose of the code strip 134 is not to provide resolution Degree, but calculate the inkjet head 120 The actual displacement is 201209703, so the reliability is high. Then, in step S122, the deviation displacement amount can be obtained by determining whether the reference displacement amount of the inkjet head 120 in step S102 is equal to the actual displacement amount of the inkjet head 120 in step S112. If the deviation displacement does not exceed the set value, the printing in step S140 is performed. If the set value is exceeded, the process proceeds to step S132, and the processor in the positioning system can automatically correct the resolution of the optical image to obtain the inkjet head 120. The resolution of the actual displacement amount, and then the corrected resolution, step sl4
