Estimating the term…
A printer housing assembly provides dual in-line cartridges separated by a pre-set distance. Drive belts are used to pass documents such as checks at a high rate of speed past the nozzles of the dual cartridges. A delayed firing mechanism is provided between the two cartridges so that each cartridge will print exactly the same marking on the same spot of each document as it passes by. Further enhancements and contrast quality can also be developed by use of multiple cartridges more than just two cartridges which are placed in a specialized phased relationship to develop “dot-on-dot” printing of the same target by each individual cartridge.
A system for very clear, high-contrast printouts of information on rapidly bypassing documents comprising:
A method for aligning dual print cartridges with nozzles, designated as upstream and downstream cartridges separated at a distance “S”, in an ink jet check printer for high-speed endorsement of bypassing documents where check document velocity is a measurable item, including the steps of:
A method for enabling dual in-line ink jet cartridges, designated as an upstream cartridge and a downstream cartridge in relationship to document motion thereby, to be phasedly fired so that each cartridge prints the same character on the very same spot of a passing document, comprising the steps of:
A method for enabling a multiple number of in-line series of ink jet cartridges to be phasedly fired so that each cartridge prints the same character on the very same spot of each passing document, comprising the steps of:
