  • Compensating mechanical image stretch in a printing device
    Publication number: 20050147444
    Abstract: The present invention compensates a printed image for distortions caused by mechanical image stretch. One embodiment comprises a memory configured to store compensation data, the compensation data corresponding to distortion in a printed image caused by mechanical image stretch; a sensor configured to sense at least one characteristic of a medium upon which the image is to be printed and that is transported by a printing system; and a processor configured to generate a compensated image data by combining data corresponding to the image, the compensation data, and the sensed characteristic of the medium.

  • Methods and apparatus for dispensing media sheets from a media stack
    Publication number: 20050002679
    Abstract: A method in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention includes making a first quantitative measurement, dispensing a number of media sheets from the stack, and making a second quantitative measurement, wherein the quantitative measurement can be, for example, the weight of the stack or the thickness of the stack. A ratio is calculated such that the ratio is equal to the number of sheets dispensed divided by the difference in the first and second quantitative measurements. The ratio can then be multiplied by the second quantitative measurement to establish an estimated number of media sheets remaining in the stack at the time the second quantitative measurement was made.
