Abstract
In a method for adjusting a setup for an encoder for printing to a recording medium of unknown thickness with a multi-row inkjet print head in a printing system, a continuous test line is printed onto the recording medium, transversal to a feed direction of said recording medium, a varied width of the test line is measured, and the adjustment of the setup is modified to minimize the width of the test line.
Claims15
A method for adjusting a setup for an encoder for printing to a recording medium of unknown thickness with a multi-row inkjet print head in a printing system, the method comprising:
- printing a continuous test line onto the recording medium, transversal to a feed direction of said recording medium;
- measuring a variation in a width of the test line;
- and
- modifying an adjustment of the setup, based on the measurement of the variation of the width, to minimize the variation of the width of the test line.
A printing system adapted to adjust a setup for an encoder for printing to a recording medium of unknown thickness, the printing system comprising:
- a print head configured to print a continuous test line onto the recording medium transversal to a feed direction of the recording medium;
- a sensor configured to measure a variation in a width of the test line;
- and
- controller configured to modify an adjustment of the setup, based on the measurement of the variation of the width, to minimize the variation of the width of the test line.
A method for adjusting a setup for an encoder for printing to a recording medium of unknown thickness with a multi-row inkjet print head in a printing system, the method comprising:
- printing a test line onto the recording medium;
- measuring a width of the test line;
- and
- adjusting the setup for the encoder, based on the measured width, to reduce the width of the test line.
