Abstract: A color image processing device uses a dither pattern of blocks, each including a plurality of dots representing the gradations of each pixel of an image in a prescribed print region. The dots including one block are arranged in a growth sequence in the ascending order of gradation, and print data is written sequentially at the dots the number of which corresponds to the gradation associated with the block. An extracting unit extracts a data region holding the color components from the print data. A dither processing unit generates dither patterns for the color components extracted by the extracting unit. The dither processing unit detects whether one or more of the dots including each of the pixels forming the image are outside the data region, and moves any dot outside the data region to a certain dot including the same pixel and existing in the data region.

Abstract: A recording position control device includes head units, edge sensors, head movers, a controller, and a timer. The controller performs an original-point determination operation of moving the head units to an original point and to control the head movers to move the head units in a direction to correct meandering of a recording medium. The controller performs a second round of the original-point determination operation after performing a first round of the original-point determination operation. The timer measures, as a measurement time period, a time period from when the controller issues an execution command of the second round to when the controller receives a completion status of the second round. In a case in which the measurement time period is equal to or shorter than a first threshold time period, the controller determines that the original-point determination operation of the head units has failed to be normally executed.

Abstract: In a printing apparatus, print position shift caused by a posture change of a print head is appropriately reduced irrespective of causes of the posture change. Specifically, a test pattern is printed, and then, an inclination of a carriage is calculated based on the read result. On this test pattern appears, for example, not only landing position shift caused by the rolling posture change of the carriage but also synthesized position shift caused by a plurality of kinds of posture changes of the carriage. That is to say, on the test pattern to be printed can appear synthesized position shift caused by a plurality of kinds of posture changes occurring on a print head at this time. The posture of the carriage is corrected in such a manner as to suppress the synthesized position shift.

Abstract: In a low resolution color printer having a color set, a set of shaded colors is generated thereby expanding the color set of the printer. The method for generating the shaded colors determines if a critical line is to be printed. Then a check is made to determine if a shaded color is to be printed. If a pattern of a shaded color is to be printed, including a non-critical line, a first algorithm is used to generate a print buffer by interspersing a dark (quasi-black) colored pixel among the colored pixels, the blending effect resulting in a shaded color. If a critical line of a shaded color is to be printed, a second algorithm is utilized (to overcome a deficiency of the first algorithm) to insure an interspersing of the dark pixels with colored pixels. Otherwise, the pattern is printed in the designated color.
