Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are described herein for controlling a printing device. In an example embodiment, a print line is divided into frames and frame dot states are determined based on neighboring frame dot states. Maximum motor speeds of the printing device may be adjusted so that actual motor speeds change gradually during printing. The print engine may detect a printhead type by sending a signal to the printhead and receiving a response.

Abstract: Provided herein are devices, methods and other means, including those related to printers, as well as computer readable media for storing code to execute instructions for a device, and other systems for providing and supporting mobile printing and other types of devices. The circuit boards of a device can each be dedicated to different types of functionality and be installed into the device without the use of fasteners. In some embodiments, the printer's housing can include a base portion and a defining portion, where the defining portion largely defines the printer's shape, size and aesthetics and the base portion defines the printer's minimum size. Also provided herein is a removable belt clip that may be affixed to a portable printer and/or other device.

Abstract: Provided herein are devices, methods and other means, including those related to printers, as well as computer readable media for storing code to execute instructions for a device, and other systems for providing and supporting mobile printing and other types of devices. The printer, for example, can be coupled with one or more docks and/or other accessory devices, examples of which are also discussed herein.

Abstract: A scanning system for a film recorder utilizes multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to produce a linear output for a vertical deflection circuit which drives a vertical yoke circuit for controlling a CRT beam in a film recorder. The system contains a coarse DAC, a fine DAC, and a delta DAC which provides a signal representing the analog change from line to line. A summing circuit, a difference amplifier, a A/D converter, and a calibration sequence controlled by a DSP create a table to effectively increase the resolution and linearity of the deflection output signal.

Abstract: Bottles are conveyed by a pair of side gripping belts, either neck leading or base leading in a direction parallel to an axis extending through the neck and the base of the bottle. In the path of the bottle and upstream therefrom is positioned a split ramp, inclined upward relative to the direction of travel. The split ramps interfere with the forward travel of a base leading bottle and cooperates with the gripping belts to cause the neck of the bottle to raise arcuately so as to orient the bottle to a standing position, on its base. Moving belts are disposed between the split ramp. The split ramp allows passage of part of a bottle conveyed in neck leading position such that the moving belts interfere with the forward travel of the neck leading bottle and cause the neck of the bottle to change its direction of travel to an arcuate, upward direction for orienting the bottle to a standing position, on its base.
