Patent number: 11403500Abstract: First quantization data for printing by the first nozzle group and second quantization data for printing by the second nozzle group are generated based on multi-valued data. By use of mask patterns, first print data and second print data are generated based on the first quantization data and the second quantization data. The first mask pattern for generating first print data and the second mask pattern for generating second print data are formed so as to include a pixel in which printing of a dot is allowed in both and a pixel in which printing of a dot is not allowed in both. The pixel value of each pixel indicated by the multi-valued data has a correlation with the sum of the number of dots indicated by the first print data and the number of dots indicated by the second print data in the area corresponding to each pixel.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Akihiro Tomida, Naoko Baba, Yoshinori Nakajima, Naomi Yamamoto, Satoshi Wada, Yumi Shimokodachi, Junichi Saito

Patent number: 11345176Abstract: There is a case where a reading unit cannot read an entire area of a recording medium in a scanning direction of a carriage, or a case where reading accuracy is low in the entire area. In such a case, a result of reading a test pattern for adjusting an ejection timing at each position cannot be obtained with high accuracy in a single reading operation. In order to solve the issue, a recording apparatus performs a reading operation a plurality of times and generates, based on results from the respective operations, an adjustment value for adjusting the ejection timing at each position in the scanning direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Keiji Kuriyama, Yoshinori Nakajima, Akihiro Tomida, Hidehiko Kanda, Takeshi Yazawa, Naomi Yamamoto, Takayuki Ushiyama
