Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the free spraying of the nozzles of an ink jet print head, in particular in a franking and / or addressing machine. It has been proven to take advantage of ink printing also in the field of machine franking and / or addressing. The printing takes place without contact by means of ink print head, see for example DE 44 24 771 C1 and EP 0 696 509 B1 , However, the ink printing technique has the disadvantage that often more ink is consumed for cleaning the ink print head than for printing. This is particularly serious in individual printing.
- a postage meter machine with an ink jet printhead is known, see EP 0 696 509 B1 and US 5,806,994 in which the letters are transported horizontally and the nozzle surface is arranged parallel thereto. With this machine, the nozzles that are little or unused during printing are sprayed free as long as there is no letter in front of the print head.
- the letter transport device is provided with corresponding recesses and arranged below the same a collecting container for the sprayed ink. The ink consumption is reduced in this way compared to the priming, but the horizontal letter transport and appropriate design measures are a prerequisite.
- free spraying is meant the single or multiple actuation of one or more nozzles.
- “priming” means a multiple consecutive free-spraying of all nozzles. Free spraying is therefore the ink-saving form of keeping the nozzles of an ink jet print head clean.
- an ink printer with a variable cleaning algorithm is known, see EP 0 934 828 A2 , in which past franking imprints are recorded and evaluated - historical log - and from this a cleaning regime is derived.
- the "historical log” records information on maximum downtime, weekly mail flow and the number and type of processing per week. This does not take into account the nature of the impressions and thus the actual actuation of the individual nozzles.
- an apparatus for cleaning an ink jet print head has been found in a franking and / or addressing machine, see DE 10 2005 052 150.9-27 in which the inkjet print head is stationarily but pivotally mounted behind a guide plate in a print window.
- the print carrier are guided by means of a transport device to the over the vertical inclined inclined guide plate and standing on an edge along.
- the cleaning and sealing device is like the ink jet head behind the guide plate adjustable arranged on the same to and from the same path.
- the ink jet print head can be swiveled by means of associated adjustment means selectively into a print position or into different cleaning areas as well as into a sealing position.
- the nozzle surface of the ink jet print head is arranged parallel to the guide plate and thus also to the print carrier.
- the inkjet print head is pivoted away from the print position so far that at least twice the distance to the print carrier exists, but all the ink drops still reach the print carrier.
- the effect is exploited that from twice the provided printing distance, the ink droplets drop into correspondingly smaller satellite drops whose range is so large that no recognizable print pattern is given more.
- this method is only limited applicable due to the inertia of the inkjet print head to be pivoted. The speed of rotation is also limited to avoid unwanted ejection of ink.
- the purpose of the invention is an improvement in the print quality and an extension of the life of the printing device and the largest possible letter throughput.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for free spraying of the nozzles of an ink jet print head in a franking and / or addressing machine, in which the transport speed of the print carrier is unlimited and which is suitable for horizontally positioned as well as standing on an edge print carrier transport ,
- the invention is based on the fact that it is now common in countries with large letters to avoid Port losses and, for security reasons, postal items - in particular letters - to be provided with machine-readable coded relevant printed images (indicia imprint including clichés). This is done in the form of bar codes or more modern in the form of two-dimensional bar codes, see for example DE 20 2005 000 255 U1 ,
- the individual evaluable pixels (pixels) of a printed image consist of a plurality of printing dots.
- a pressure point is created by a single operation of a nozzle. With a pixel size of 0.5 mm edge length, a print density of 200 dpi (dots per inch) would result in around 600 print dots per pixel.
- the nozzles which are not involved in the production of the respective print image be sprayed onto the current print carrier in a mode irrelevant to the print image evaluation.
- the pressure points can be inserted in both the so-called white and black pixels as well as elsewhere arranged, without distorting the information content.
- the current print image job is evaluated and then supplemented accordingly to a resulting print image job.
- a preferred variant is to spray the nozzles in an irrelevant area.
- a complete indicia impression according to FIG. 1a consists of the time sequence starting from the traditional franking imprint, the franking imprint in the two-dimensional barcode, an advertising cliché and other additional services, such as a one-dimensional address bar code arranged underneath.
- FIG. 1b shows a partial area of the franking imprint in the two-dimensional barcode. Here it is easy to see how the pixels p are composed of a large number of dots d.
- Fig. 1c the area of Fig. 1b is shown enlarged so that on the one hand the dimensions of a pixel in the x and y coordinate direction are clearly visible and on the other hand, individual dots d of the free-spray image can be seen within the white pixels of the relevant printed image Dr lie. It becomes clear that these dots inevitably be disregarded in an aligned on the pixel size evaluation system.
- Fig. 2a the case is shown in which the free-jet dots - deviating from the reality - are distributed over the relevant printed image Dr and the rest of the print carrier B.
- the free-jet dots are distributed to regions in which the nozzles for generating the relevant printed image Dr are hardly or not actuated. This particularly applies to the upper and lower edge area of the maximum pressure range.
- the free-jet dots d are arranged in partial regions according to the two-dimensional barcode so that there are two vertical, aligned printing lines.
- the frzuspritzenden nozzles are all actuated simultaneously. In this case, it is assumed that all nozzles provided for the barcode area are operated. This variant has the same effect as in FIG. 2b and therefore equally advantageous.
- the free-jet dents d are arranged in partial areas in front of the indicia impression in the form of a beam. Otherwise, the conditions analogous to those in Fig. 2c. In both cases, a multiple free spraying is allowed.
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the printer driver is shown. It contains a memory 1 for the relevant printed image.
- the relevant printed image Dr contains information relating to postage, date of posting, postage meter, advertising cliché and supplementary letter services, such as express mail or Infopost. The information for this is determined via upstream facilities, such as the letter scale and dimensional scanner as well as sender requests.
- the memory 1 is connected to a microprocessor 5 bidirectionally. To the microprocessor 5 also the franking data input 3 is connected unidirectionally coming. The data supplied by the franking data input 3 are processed further in the microprocessor 5 for the current print image job and temporarily stored in the memory 1. In the microprocessor 5 is from the current relevant Print image order derived from a supplementary irrelevant printed image job.
- a memory 4 is also bidirectionally connected to the microprocessor 5, in which the resulting print image job for the relevant and irrelevant print image Dr, Db is temporarily stored.
- the microprocessor 5 is unidirectionally connected to a printing device 6, which receives from the former the drive data As for the current resulting print image D and prints it out.
- FIG. 4 shows the associated flow chart for the block diagram of FIG. 3.
- an irrelevant print image Dbb is calculated and stored as the current irrelevant print image Db.
- the data for the relevant print image Dr and the irrelevant print image Db are combined to form a print image Dv.
- the data thus combined are buffered as the resulting print image D in the memory 4.
- these data are transmitted to the printing device 6 as drive data As.
- the printing process is finished.
- only the data for the relevant print image Dr serve as drive data for the printing device.
