  • Printing system and method for continuous web print medium
    Patent number: 6375296
    Abstract: An inkjet printing system for printing on a print medium having a top-of-form (TOF) indicator includes a printhead assembly, a top-of-form (TOF) detector adapted to detect the TOF indicator, a positional sensor adapted to sense a relative position of the print medium to the printhead assembly, and a controller associated with the printhead assembly, the TOF detector, and the positional sensor. The printhead assembly includes a first printhead subarray and a second printhead subarray offset from the first printhead subarray such that the controller is configured to initiate operation of the first printhead subarray after the TOF detector detects the TOF indicator and initiate operation of the second printhead subarray at a predetermined interval after the TOF detector detects the TOF indicator. As such, the predetermined interval is related to the relative position of the print medium.
