  • Printhead Identification Systems and Methods
    Publication number: 20260184086
    Abstract: A method includes: storing, in a memory, a test command defining an array of effector element activation states; at a controller connected with the memory, transmitting the test command to an interface configured to connect the controller with an installed effector assembly from a plurality of possible effector assembles including at least a first effector assembly and a second effector assembly, the installed effector assembly being one of (i) the first effector assembly having a first array of effector elements, or (ii) the second effector assembly having a second array of effector elements; at the controller, detecting whether effector elements of the installed effector assembly are activated according to the test command; and at the controller, identifying the installed effector assembly as either the first effector assembly or the second effector assembly based on the detection.
