Patent number: 9374483Abstract: A reading device includes a reading unit, an output unit, and a processor. The processor is configured to: control the reading unit to read an image from an original sheet; perform an image process on the read image; and output, to the display, both an output image and an explanation image representing contents of the image process performed on the read image. The output image represents one of the read image and an image resulting from the image process performed on the read image.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Taketo Numata

Patent number: 9102166Abstract: An inkjet printer including a body, a carriage, a recording head, a bendable connecting member, a memory device, and a controller is provided. The controller is configured to execute operations including a deviated amount setting operation and a discharging timing controlling operation. The deviated amount setting operation includes a first recording step, in which a first image is recorded after the carriage is placed at rest for a length being shorter than or equal to a first period; a second recording step, in which a second image is recorded after the carriage is placed at rest for a second period being longer than the first period, and a deviated amount setting step, in which the controller obtains a distance between the first image and the second image and stores the obtained distance in the memory device as a deviated amount.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Taketo Numata

Patent number: 8974031Abstract: An inkjet printer including a body, a carriage, a recording head, a bendable connecting member, and a controller is provided. The controller executes a moving step to move the carriage in an orientation after the carriage is halted for a length, a measuring step to measure the period, and a discharging step to manipulate the recording head to discharge ink at a sheet. In the discharging step, if the measured period is within a first length, the recording head is manipulated to discharge the ink at a first discharging timing, and if the measured period is within a second length which is longer than the first length, the recording head is manipulated to discharge the ink at a second discharging timing, which is advanced to be earlier than the first discharging timing.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Taketo Numata
