  • Patent number: 11472208
    Abstract: A print apparatus includes a print unit configured to perform printing on a print medium, a transport belt on which the print medium is mounted, a driving section configured to move the belt in a predetermined belt movement direction so as to transport the print medium, a detection section configured to detect marks for detection of a movement amount formed on side ends of the transport belt, and a driving controller configured to control the driving section based on a result of the detection performed by the detection section. The driving controller obtains an error of movement amounts of the transport belt based on the result of the detection performed by the detection section and performs control such that the obtained error is corrected.

  • Publication number: 20220232103
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a communication section and a processing section. The communication section is used to communicate, through a network, with a collection target apparatus and a terminal device capable of using an application that manages and displays status associated information of the collection target apparatus. The communication section obtains status associated information including an event that occurs in the collection target apparatus. The processing section performs a process of generating display screen information of the status associated information that is displayed by the application activated when link information is selected in the terminal device and that is specified by the link information. Furthermore, the communication section transmits the display screen information to the terminal device.

  • Publication number: 20210114370
    Abstract: Provided is a printer including: a printer storage section that stores a learned model that was trained by machine learning based on a data set in which work gap information indicating a work gap which is a distance between a printing medium and a nozzle surface of a print head, and landing position information related to a deviation of a landing position of ink discharged from the print head are associated; and a processing section that outputs a landing position deviation amount from the learned model by acquiring a printing condition, and inputting the work gap information included in the acquired printing condition to the learned model stored in the printer storage section.

  • Patent number: 9682583
    Abstract: A control method for a liquid ejecting system provided with a liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting portion for ejecting a liquid and an inputting apparatus including a data inputting portion through which data can be inputted includes a specific data detecting process that detects whether or not input data inputted to the data inputting portion is specific data which is other than liquid ejection data for causing a liquid corresponding to an image to be formed on an ejection target medium to be ejected from the liquid ejecting portion and which is determined in advance as data for prompting an ejection inspection; and a nozzle inspecting process that, in the case where the specific data is detected in the specific data detecting process, causes a nozzle inspecting portion to perform the ejection inspection.

  • Patent number: 8836985
    Abstract: Provided is a method of executing a process by a driver using a storing unit having a first region capable of storing data and a second region capable of storing data with lower generality than the first region. The method includes storing a print-related value that relates to printing in the second region when an excess instruction that instructs the print-related value to be a value that exceeds a predetermined value is given. When the print-related value is not stored in the second region, a print instruction is given to a printing apparatus using print setting information including a print-related value stored in the first region at non-storing time. The method further includes giving a print instruction to the printing apparatus by using print setting information including a print-related value stored in the second region at storing time when the print-related value is stored in the second region.
