Description
技术领域
本发明涉及打印设备,并且特定来说涉及便携式打印设备,诸如那些用于打印标签以及类似物的打印设备。
背景技术
预打印(格式等)或固定大小(标签等)热敏介质应在打印机内准确对准,以便恰当地对齐打印到该介质上。确保准确介质对准的最常见方法是在该介质的背面或正面上使用预打印“黑色标记”。
令人遗憾的是,正面打印的黑色标记可导致大的格式间/标签间隙,或者可将不期望元素(黑色标记)引入到打印画布(canvas)。背面打印的标记还增加打印机设计的复杂性,因为其需要将反射式光电传感器安装在打印机门的背面上。出于此目的,通常使用红外光发射器。然而,传统红外线反射式光电传感器对直射阳光敏感,并且当用于撕开即用的打印机构中时常常发生故障。该结构还限于仅感测来自物体的一定水平的所发射红外光反射,并且由于传感器的材料的质量和变化及其在组装期间的潜在不精确放置而遭受所接收信号强度的广泛变化。通常必须实现昂贵的传感器分类和匹配操作以减轻灵敏度误差。
因此,需要存在一种更好机构来检测格式在打印机中的合适对准。
发明内容
因此,在一个方面中,本发明包括一种用于在具有构成格式的预打印元素的打印介质上进行打印的打印机。光源朝向打印介质路径指引光。红绿蓝(RGB)光传感器被定位成接收来自所述光源的由所述打印介质反射的光。红外光过滤器位于RGB光传感器与纸之间以便过滤出进入所述RGB光传感器的红外光。该RGB光传感器具有耦合到经编程处理器的输出。该经编程处理器被编程为检测来自所述RGB光传感器的所述输出中的至少一个格式元素。在某些示例性实施例中,该经编程处理器还被编程为:检索所述格式的所存储电子表示;使所述格式元素与所述格式的所述所存储电子表示匹配以识别所述格式上的位置;以及控制对所述格式的打印。
在某些示例性实施例中,I2C接口位于所述RGB传感器与所述处理器之间。在某些示例性实施例中,所述格式元素包括被指定用于界定待被打印数据的至少一个单元格。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器还被编程为:使所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机;当所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机时,识别来自所述RGB光传感器的所述输出中的格式元素;以及将经识别格式元素作为所述格式的电子表示存储到存储器。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器还被编程为检测光强度,并且所述处理器通过检测到低于规定阈值的光强度来确定所述打印机缺少介质。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器还被编程为检测光强度,并且所述处理器通过检测到大于规定阈值的光强度来确定所述打印机包含打印介质。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器存储表示所述打印介质的行数的点计数作为沿着所述格式的格式元素所在位置的测量。
在另一示例性实施例中,一种用于在具有构成格式的预打印元素的打印介质上进行打印的打印机具有朝向打印介质路径指引光的光源。红绿蓝(RGB)光传感器被定位成接收来自所述光源的由所述打印介质反射的光。红外光过滤器位于RGB光传感器与纸之间以便过滤出进入所述RGB光传感器的红外光。设置有经编程处理器。该RGB光传感器具有耦合到所述经编程处理器的输出。该经编程处理器被编程为:使所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机;当所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机时,识别来自所述RGB光传感器的所述输出中的格式元素;以及将经识别格式元素作为所述格式的电子表示存储到存储器;检测来自所述RGB光传感器的所述输出中的至少一个格式元素;检索所述格式的所存储电子表示;使所述格式元素与所述格式的所述所存储电子表示匹配以识别所述格式上的位置,其中所述格式元素包括被指定用于界定待被打印数据的至少一个单元格;以及控制对所述格式的打印。
在某些示例性实施例中,I2C接口位于所述RGB传感器与所述处理器之间。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器还被编程为检测光强度,并且所述处理器通过检测到低于规定阈值的光强度来确定所述打印机缺少介质。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器还被编程为检测光强度,并且其中该处理器通过检测到大于规定阈值的光强度来确定所述打印机包含打印介质。在某些示例性实施例中,该处理器存储表示所述打印介质的行数的点计数作为沿着所述格式的格式元素所在位置的测量。
在又一示例性实施例中,一种在具有构成格式的预打印元素的打印介质上进行打印的方法涉及:在经编程处理器处接收来自红绿蓝(RGB)光传感器的输出信号;使所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机;当所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机时,检测来自所述RGB光传感器的所述输出中的至少一个格式元素;检索所述格式的所存储电子表示;使所述格式元素与所述格式的所述所存储电子表示匹配以识别所述格式上的位置;以及打印到所述格式。
在某些示例性实施例中,该方法还涉及从传递到所述RGB光传感器的光中过滤出红外光。在某些示例性实施例中,使用I2C接口将来自所述RGB传感器的所述输出信号传递到所述处理器。在某些示例性实施例中,所述格式元素包括被指定用于界定待被打印数据的至少一个单元格。在某些示例性实施例中,初始化涉及:使所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机;当所述打印介质行进通过所述打印机时,识别来自所述RGB光传感器的所述输出中的格式元素;以及将经识别格式元素作为所述格式的电子表示存储到存储器。在某些示例性实施例中,该过程还涉及检测光强度并且通过检测到低于规定阈值的光强度来确定所述打印机缺少介质。在某些示例性实施例中,该方法还涉及检测光强度并且通过检测到大于规定阈值的光强度来确定所述打印机包含打印介质。在某些示例性实施例中,该方法还涉及将表示所述打印介质的行数的点计数存储为沿着所述格式的格式元素所在位置的测量。

在以下具体实施方式及其附图内进一步解释前述示例性发明内容以及本发明的其它示例性目的和/或优点以及其实现方式。
附图说明
图1绘示与某些示例性实施方案一致的示例性打印机机构。
图2是由与某些示例性实施方案一致的示例性打印机使用的整个过程的流程图的示例。
图3是与某些示例性实施例一致的校准过程的流程图的示例。
图4是绘示与某些示例性实施例一致的打印过程的流程图的示例。
图5是用于确定表示缺少介质条件的适当RGB传感器输出值的校准过程的示例。
具体实施方式
本发明包括一种打印机机构及其校准和操作方法。
根据本发明教导,可以使用红绿蓝(RGB)色彩光传感器来检测热敏介质的正面上的预打印元素并且针对各种格式和标签(例如,条形码标签和停车违规传票)实施所需介质对准。这消除了对黑色标记或/和背面反射式光电传感器的任何需要。RGB色彩光传感器可以结合红外线(IR)阻挡过滤器使用,以避免由直射阳光和其它红外线源导致的感测误差。
根据某些示例性实施例,替代在打印头机构中使用红外线反射式传感器,利用RGB色彩光传感器。例如:可以使用英特锡尔(Intersil)部件号ISL29120。在另一示例中,撕开即用的机构可以利用带有IR阻挡过滤器(诸如例如英特锡尔部件号ISL29125)的RGB色彩光传感器。
如先前所述的,一些标签打印机可以利用依赖于打印在标签底纸的背面上的黑色线或标记的“反射式”传感器。黑色标记告诉打印机标签如何对齐。但是通过利用RGB传感器,标签的图像可以由打印机存储和使用以在不使用此类黑色标记的情况下实现适当对准。由于该黑色标记具有必须由热敏纸制造商提前考虑的高度、宽度和位置要求。因此其占据可能原本用于打印用户数据的空间。可以使用如本文中所教导的RGB传感器,从而消除对背面标记并且因此背面IR传感器的需要。
现在参见图1,绘示与某些示例性实施例一致的打印机构。在此实施例中,使用可见光源20(例如,宽光谱可见光LED结构)来照亮打印介质(例如,卷起打印介质)24的顶表面。由RGB传感器28检测从打印介质24反射的可见光。为最小化来自红外光的干扰,使用红外线过滤器32来阻挡或高度衰减来自RGB传感器28的IR光谱。RGB传感器的输出经由合适总线(例如,I2C总线接口)接口36传递到处理器40。
处理器40控制并监督打印机的操作,包括控制打印队列和到打印机构44的指令以控制若干操作,诸如使打印介质行进以及烧录(burn)或以其它方式打印到该介质。处理器40还可以利用存储在存储器或其它存储装置48中的指令来控制光源20和RGB传感器28的操作。存储器或其它存储装置48还用于存储表示可以在打印机中使用的一个或多个格式的信息。用户经由任何合适用户界面52与打印机互动。
图2表示用于由诸如在本文中以与本发明的某些实施例一致的方式论述的打印机构使用的示例性过程的示例性高级流程图100。整个过程开始于102处,此后,在106处,输送一定长度的介质(诸如预打印格式)通过打印机。当该介质输送通过打印机时,RGB传感器检测来自RGB光传感器的输出中的至少一个格式元素。此类格式元素(例如)可能包括旨在充当边界以包含某些信息的单元格,该单元格具有围绕其的线。例如,在许多格式(包括停车传票)的情况下,可能存在被指定为用于打印日期的边界的单元格。因此,可以使用单元格和其它格式元素(例如,线或其它打印属性)的位置来表征格式并识别格式的开头。因此,在110处,处理器可以分析RGB传感器的输出以检测RGB传感器输出中的单元格和其它格式元素,以便表征格式和格式的数据单元格。
当格式通过打印机时,可以使用来自RGB传感器的输出来实质上构造打印介质的电子表示并将其存储到存储器(在114处),以便可以从存储器检索格式的所存储电子表示,从而有助于识别格式的开头并确保针对该格式所打印的数据被打印在正确位置中。处理器使格式元素与格式的所存储电子表示匹配以识别格式的开头(在118处),并且从此处可以控制对打印介质的格式的打印(在122处)。
现在转向图3,在其中点计数初始化为0的204处开始的过程200中绘示用于对新格式将打印机进行校准的校准过程。点计数表示点的行数的计数作为沿格式向下的距离的测量。在208处,输送打印介质通过打印机,并且当介质输送通过时,点计数被增量,以便保持对介质已经沿格式向下行进多远的追踪。当打印介质输送通过时,RGB传感器读取从打印介质反射的可见光并将表示传感器输出的数据传递到处理器。在此过程期间,处理器监视来自RGB传感器的数据,以试图在由RGB传感器捕获的图像中发现格式元素(诸如格式的(多个)数据单元格)。针对打印介质通过打印机的每一次行进,点计数增量为一。存储每个经识别的格式元素及其按点计数测量的位置。
在220处,由处理器处理的RGB传感器数据可以通过(例如)简单测量所检测到的光强度来容易地检测纯白或浅色介质的用完(如果遇到)。如果该介质(例如,热敏打印纸)在成像位置处经过深色背景(诸如辊),则低光强度可以被解释为“缺少介质”(OOM),而较高光强度被解释为“介质存在”。以此方式,当纸通过打印机时,高到低勒克斯转变(luxtransition)对应于“缺少介质”事件。类似地,低到高勒克斯转变对应于“介质在里面/介质门关闭”事件。在执行OOM的该检测时,来自检测器的光强度可与阈值(例如,传感器的最大输出的5-15%)进行比较,以确定是否正发生OOM事件。因此,如果光强度降到(例如)RGB传感器的最大输出的10%以下,则处理器可以推断打印机缺纸并生成合适警报。
对于“撕开即用的”介质,还可以使用光强度读数,例如,低勒克斯读数可以被解释为“无标签”,并且较高勒克斯读数可以被解释为“标签存在”。
如果OOM事件在220处尚未发生,则OOM计数等于零(在224处),并且该过程进行到228,在228处存储点计数和传感器输出。点计数表示格式的垂直位置。在232处,由处理器分析传感器输出以确定是否已经检测到图案。预打印图案是一批具有重复点线间距(垂直和水平)的匹配RGB传感器读数。如果在232处检测到重复图案,则该图案表示格式的图案的至少一部分,其可以然后存储到存储器或其它存储装置(在236处),并且在240处该校准过程完成。
可以通过(例如)检测对应于缺少介质、黑色标记(又称为Q标记)、预打印文本、表格、绘图、单元格、线等的光强度来在216处检测元素。当在216处发现元素时,可以检查该元素以看该元素是否匹配对应于220处的缺少介质值的光强度。如果是这样,则OOM计数在252处增量。为确保打印机真的缺少介质并且未受到打印介质缺陷的欺骗,使用数个(例如,5-10个)连续OOM检测结果作为256处的极限。
如果在216处未发现元素,则该过程转到244,在244处已经遇到最大数量N个的连续空白或空值。如果已经达到极限N,则校准在248处以错误终止,以便防止平面白纸行进到介质辊的端部。在达到输送极限之前,在208处,该过程使打印介质每次行进通过打印机一个点线。
如果在220处RGB传感器产生指示已经达到介质的用完的信号,则该过程如先前所论述转到252,在252处OOM计数增量为一个点线。控制然后转到256以确定OOM计数是否已经超过OOM计数极限M。如果未超过,则控制转回到208,并且该过程继续。如果在256处达到OOM计数极限M,则OOM计数在260处被初始化为零,并且校准鉴于打印机显然缺少打印介质而在264处终止。
现在参见图4,在302处开始的流程图300中绘示示例性打印过程。在306处,针对点线输送并烧录(burn)打印介质(例如,热敏打印机纸)。在310处并且在314处,RGB传感器向处理器输出信号,该过程以先前所述相同方式确定是否已经遇到元素。如果遇到,则控制转到318。如果未遇到,则该过程行进到326以确定打印队列是否为空。
在318处,如果传感器未生成OOM信号,则OOM计数在322处被设置为零,并且控制转到326。如果在326处打印队列为空,则打印作业视为在330处完成,并且打印过程结束。如果在326处打印队列不为空,则控制转回到306,在306处,下一个点线被增量并被烧录。
如果在318处获得缺少介质传感器读数,则OOM计数在334处被增量(同样,这确保接收到足够的连续OOM计数以确保已经达到介质的用完)。如果在338处达到OOM计数极限,则在342处OOM计数被重设为零,并且在346处打印机停止打印。打印机可以生成警报以通知用户打印机缺少介质。
可以由在404处开始的图5的示例性流程图400中绘示的过程来校准缺少介质传感器读数。在408处从打印机移除打印介质(如果存在),并且在412处捕获RBG传感器输出。该传感器输出表示无介质存在的OOM信号电平。这可以在416处存储为OOM传感器输出。由于此值可以稍微变化,因此该过程可以靠近此值设置阈值,该阈值被用作超过其OOM信号视为已出现的阈值。
在打印机构中使用RGB传感器可以打开各种各样的处理选项,该处理选项在执行打印功能时可以证明是有用的。RGB传感器可以将反射式和透射式感测方法两者用于普通介质检测。RGB传感器还可以被配置成在检测特定颜色时触发中断,并且这可以用于各种控制功能。当打印机利用背面传感器时,打印机结构通常包括布线穿过纸门铰链的柔性电缆,但是当打印机仅利用正面RGB传感器时,这不是必需的。
因此,如上所述,打印机具有朝向打印介质的位置指引光的光源。RGB传感器被定位成接收来自光源的由打印介质反射的光。红外光过滤器位于RGB传感器与纸之间以过滤出红外光。经编程处理器耦合到RGB传感器的输出以便检测来自RGB光传感器的输出中的格式元素,检索格式的所存储电子表示,使格式元素与格式的所存储电子表示匹配以识别格式上的位置,以及控制对格式的打印。
在本说明书和/或附图中,已经公开本发明的典型实施例。本发明并不限于此类示例性实施例。术语“和/或”的使用包括相关联所列举项中的一者或多者的任何和所有组合。这些附图是示意性表示,并且因此未必按比例绘制。除非另有说明,否则具体术语已经按通用和描述性意义而非出于限制目的使用。
