  • Patent number: 9102143
    Abstract: When a plurality of images is printed on both the surfaces of a continuous sheet, an optimum scheduling is carried out including maintenance of a print head, thereby suppressing amount of consumption of a sheet as a whole. For such a purpose, acquiring information regarding on which of the first and second surfaces and where on the surface of the continuous sheet a unique portion exists, the unique portion is unsuitable for image printing that exists on the continuous sheet; and setting, based on the acquired information, a print unavailable region including the unique portion and a maintenance region posterior thereto on a specific sheet surface having the unique portion existing thereon, and another print unavailable region and a maintenance region posterior thereto on a reverse side of the specific sheet surface, the another print unavailable region being set so as to include a region corresponding to the maintenance region.

  • Patent number: 8749674
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging including a comparing circuit, an inverting circuit, and a masking circuit, and that performs column parallel AD conversion processing of analog pixel signals output from a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix form. The comparing circuit outputs a difference signal obtained by comparing each of the pixel signals outputted from the pixels with a reference signal having a ramp waveform. The inverting circuit inverts a logic of the difference signal outputted from the comparing circuit. The masking circuit masks an output of an output signal of the inverting circuit to a circuit in a subsequent stage during an input offset canceling period in which the comparing circuit cancels an input offset between the pixel signal and the reference signal.
