  • Systems and methods for reducing cross process direction registration errors of a printhead using a linear array sensor
    Publication number: 20080062219
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining registration errors in the cross process direction of a printer. A first straight line is obtained by detecting line centers of a first plurality of dashes in a test pattern. A second straight line is obtained by detecting a line center positions of a second plurality of dashes in the test pattern. A difference between the off-set of the first straight line and the off-set of the second straight line is used in determining registration errors.

  • Multi-functional electro-mechanical interconnect, sensor, and mounting and method of mounting and biasing of a rotatable member
    Publication number: 20060228923
    Abstract: An interconnect includes a first contact portion including carbon fibers, a second portion including carbon fibers, and a member. The first contact portion is capable of electrically biasing the member and the second portion is capable of sensing an electrical bias of the member. Both portions may provide other electrical functions. Both portions may structurally support the member.

  • Systems and methods for detecting intermittent, weak and missing jets with an inline linear array sensor
    Publication number: 20060114284
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting intermittent, weak or missing jets of a printer. The detection is implemented using a test pattern. Detected failed jets may be confirmed using a verification target. A printhead containing nozzles corresponding to detected failed jets may be wiped or purged.

  • Systems and methods for reducing process direction registration errors of a printhead using a linear array sensor
    Publication number: 20060114283
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting process direction registration errors in a printer. The errors are detected by analyzing a metric of a dash minimum response obtained from a test pattern. The test pattern contains dashes. At least one dash is shifted in the process direction in relation to another dash.
