Patent number: 10625525Abstract: A width detecting system includes a sensor-LED array positioned across a path of a media and/or ribbon within a printing apparatus. The LEDs are adapted to produce light directed toward the media and/or ribbon path. The optical sensors are configured to detect the LED light, produce analog signals proportionate to the received amount of light, and transmit the signals to a signal receiving assembly for processing. Additionally or alternatively, a width detecting system can have an array of LEDs facing an array of sensors in such a way that the media and/or ribbon path is located between the arrays. A method for width detection includes analyzing sensor data to determine one or more transition point between media and no-media sections, and calculating media width. The method can include using sensor data collected for a reflective and/or transmissive sensor arrays, and can be used for media and/or ribbon width detection.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: DATAMAX-O'NEIL CORPORATIONInventor: Sébastien Michel Marie Joseph d'Armancourt

Patent number: 10399369Abstract: The present invention embraces a method and apparatus for providing feedback to a user on the status of media or ribbon of a printer. The feedback may be provided by incorporating a feedback mechanism in a hanger of a printer. The printer may be a thermal printer, but may be another type of printer. The feedback mechanism of the printer may be designed to work with one or more sensors to provide a feedback loop so that without an input from a user, the printer is able to detect the presence/absence of media or ribbon, as well as determine the width of the loaded media or ribbon. In another embodiment, the feedback mechanism is able to determine the weight of the roll of media or ribbon and hence determine the quantity of media or ribbon available on the hanger.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Datamax-O'Neil CorporationInventors: Chin Young Wong, Yaw Horng Yap, Sébastien Michel Marie Joseph d'Armancourt, Boon Kheng Lim

Patent number: 10399361Abstract: A printer is provided which includes a control unit and a print head with a burn line and a platen roller. The print head is coupled to the control unit. The print head is positioned in a vertical orientation relative to the platen roller over which a media label passes during printing. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, coupled to the control unit, for programming RFID tags on the media label is also provided. The RFID reader is coupled to a RFID antenna. The RFID antenna is above the media label path, the print head's vertical orientation allowing the RFID antenna to be accommodated in close proximity to the print head burn line. Further, a label stop sensor (LSS) module is provided, coupled to the control unit, for monitoring movement of the media label along a media path. The LSS module is disposed adjacent to the RFID antenna.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Datamax-O'Neil CorporationInventors: Sébastien Michel Marie Joseph d'Armancourt, Chin Young Wong

Patent number: 10373032Abstract: A printer is configured with a processor which calculates printhead control parameters, the control parameters being determined by the processor in such a way as to optimize the printing process of the printer's printhead. The processor determines the printhead control parameters according to an optimization algorithm stored in the printer. To maintain the internal security of the optimization algorithm, the printhead control parameters are encrypted by the processor. The encrypted printhead control parameters are then transmitted to the printhead via an internal data path of the printer. If a third party monitors the data along the internal data path, the encryption algorithm remains secure because the control parameters are encrypted. The printhead contains a second, dedicated processor. The printhead processor receives the encrypted printhead control parameters, and decrypts the control parameters.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Datamax-O'Neil CorporationInventor: Sébastien Michel Marie Joseph d'Armancourt

Patent number: 10369804Abstract: Methods and apparatus to detect if an authorized thermal print head (TPH) has been installed in a specific model or manufacturer printer are provided. The method provides a system to check the resistivity or impedance value at the TPH side, either upon printer boot-up or during printing operation. During printing operation, the impedance measurement may be executed for a time period at a fixed periodicity and/or one or more events. Based on the impedance measurement, the printer may determine that the impedance value matches the authorized TPH range value. In a case of non-matching impedance values or change of impedance values, the printer may prevent printing operation until an authorized TPH is installed.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Datamax-O'Neil CorporationInventor: Sébastien Michel Marie Joseph D'Armancourt
