Definitions
- a charge image carrier such as a photoconductor drum or a photoconductor belt by ei ⁇ nen character generator, for example, an LED character generator
- applied charge images of images to be printed in an electrophotographic printer or copier for example, after the toner jump- principle is known (see, for example, US Pat. No. 4,868,600).
- bias voltage bias voltage
- the charge images on the charge image carrier can be generated by an LED character generator. This can reload individual output pixels or PELs (printed elements) on the charge image carrier as a function of the character to be printed in a print grid of addressable output pixels by exposure. These PELs are then developed by the developer station to pressure points. A pressure point is thus the point physically printed at the location of the PEL, it is generally larger in area than the corresponding PEL.
- the print grid can be divided into raster cells; a halftone cell is a two-dimensional matrix of PELs.
- Character width is understood to mean how wide or how bold a printing device outputs a given character.
- By changing the time width can be influenced by the appearance of the printed image as well as the toner consumption.
- the character width can be measured with the aid of an optical reflex sensor, which measures the (infrared) light reflected back from the surface of the charge image carrier. It is integrated over a few square millimeters large area (a few thousand pressure points).
- the measurement can also take place in that a toner mark is produced on the charge image carrier whose toner quantity is determined by capacitive toner quantity measurement.
- the amount of toner changes depending on the pressure point ⁇ diameter or to the line width of the toner mark.
- Manipulated variables for the pressure point and line variation in the characters to be printed are, for example, the bias voltage at the jump roller that up Endladepotential the charge image carrier ⁇ and properties of the developer mixture.
- the measurement of a toner mark with an optical reflex sensor is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 7,016,620 B2, the measurement of a toner mark with a capacitive toner quantity sensor from US Pat. No. 7,260,334 B2.
- the problem underlying the invention is to provide a method by means of which the character width of characters printed with a printer or copier can be determined with the aid of a sensor independently of the printing ink and the contamination of the sensor.
- the method according to the invention can be used both in electrophotographic printing and in ink-jet printing.
- the invention will be explained in connection with electrophotographic printing without the invention being restricted to this application.
- the method according to the invention assumes that the characters are constructed from printing dots and that individual PELs of a printing grid of PELs are developed into printing dots to produce characters.
- a first test pattern of pressure points is generated and measured with respect to its area coverage
- a second test pattern is generated in a second grid cell of the print grid, in which the print dots are arranged at least partially at different PEL locations in comparison to the first test pattern, and the second test pattern is measured with respect to its areal coverage,
- a second solution method has the following steps: a first test pattern of pressure points is generated in a first grid cell of the print grid and this is measured with respect to its toner quantity,
- a second test pattern is generated in which the pressure points in
- Compared to the first test pattern are arranged at least partially at different PEL sites, and measure the second test pattern with respect to the amount of toner,
- the ratio of the toner amounts of the first and second test pattern is formed and calculated using the ratio ⁇ ses the pressure point size.
- print dot size can for example take place via a ge ⁇ stored table or a formula in which the dependence of the print dot size is included by the ratios of the area coverages or the quantities of toner. If the pressure point size then known, it will be closed to the Zei ⁇ chenbach.
- the following steps can be carried out to generate the table: the first test patterns are created one after the other with pressure points of predetermined but different point sizes, the respective resulting surface coverages of the first test patterns are determined as first measurement results, the second test patterns are consecutively identified Creates pressure points of the predetermined different point sizes, the respective resulting area coverage of the second test pattern determined as a second measurement results, - the ratios of the first and the second Messgeb ⁇ nisse are formed, - The ratios are stored as a function of the size of the predetermined pressure points as a table.
- the table can be created with the following steps:
- the first test patterns are produced one after the other with printing points of predetermined but different point sizes, the respective quantities of toner of the first test patterns are determined as first measuring results,
- the second test patterns are produced one after the other with pressure points of the predetermined different point sizes, the respective toner quantities of the second test patterns are determined as second measurement results,
- the ratios are stored as a function of the size of the predetermined pressure points as a table.
- the first test pattern e.g. a checkerboard pattern can be chosen.
- the second test pattern can then be e.g. be realized as a line pattern.
- test patterns with different arrangement of the pressure points are possible; However, the prerequisite is that the first and second test patterns differ in the arrangement of the pressure points.
- the table has been stored in a memory of a printer controller may use the table for measurement of the area coverages of the test pattern and forming the ratio thereof, or their ratio, the Druckticiangrö ⁇ SSE be read in the test samples according to the measurement of toner amounts of the test pattern and the formation and from it the Character width of the printed characters are determined.
- the test patterns can be arranged as toner marks on the charge image carrier.
- the first and second test patterns are applied on a photoconductor belt as the charge image carrier, the surface coverages of the two test patterns are measured with an optical reflex sensor, then the ratio of the area coverages is determined and the pressure point size is determined with the aid of the ratio from the table Use printing dot size character ⁇ wide.
- the first and the second test pattern measured with a capacitive toner quantity sensor, the toner amounts of the two test patterns, the ratio of the toner quantities determined, and using the ratio from the table determines the pressure point size and from the pressure point size character width.
- FIG. 1 shows examples of differing surface coverages at ⁇ chen print dot sizes (expressed in PELS) at two different test patterns;
- Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the area coverage of the two
- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the ratios of the solicitnende ⁇ tions of the two test patterns based on the pressure point size.
- FIG. 1 shows two columns SP1, SP2 of raster cells RZ1, RZ2 from a printing raster.
- the grid cell RZl is a first test pattern TMl consisting of pressure points DP arranged in the grid cell RZ2 a second test pattern TM2 consisting of pressure points DP the same size.
- the test pattern areas of TM1 and TM2 are the same size.
- the test patterns TM1 of the column SP1 are called
- test pattern TM2 column SP2 as a line pattern.
- the test patterns TM1, TM2 are shown in the column direction with different pressure point sizes. At the edge, the respective point sizes in PEL and the resulting area coverages are given in%.
- the area coverage is given in%.
- the test pattern TMl at a point size of 1.2 PEL a coverage of 57%.
- the test pattern TM2 has a coverage of 53% at a point size of 1.2 PEL.
- the test pattern TM1 has a coverage of 96% for a point size of 1.6 PEL, whereas the test pattern TM2 has a coverage of 75%.
- the character width can thus be calculated in the printing operation.
- the method can also be performed by measuring the amount of toner of the test patterns.
- the procedure corresponds to that which has been explained above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
- the area coverage is replaced by the measured amount of toner. Reference can be made about the Erläute ⁇ conclusions to FIGS. 1 to 3.
- the method can also be used with an ink printer, provided that the generation of the characters takes place in printing dots. Then, as described, the size of the pressure points can be determined from the area coverage of test patterns.
