Abstract
A printer that restarts printing from a desired print position after an emergency stop is provided. A printer according to the present disclosure includes a head printing on a work, a driving motor moving at least one of the head and the work in order to change a print position on the work, a rotary encoder and an encoder counter determining a position of the head relative to the work, a control device supplying electric power to the encoder after excitation of the driving motor is turned off during printing and enabling the encoder counter to continue counting.
Claims13
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head recording on a recording medium;
- a driving motor moving at least one of the recording head and the recording medium in order to change a recording position on the recording medium;
- position determining means for determining a position of the recording head relative to the recording medium;
- and
- controlling means for controlling the position determining means such that the relative position of the recording head is continuously determined by the position determining means after an emergency stop command is generated during recordation to turn off excitation of the driving motor.
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head recording on a recording medium;
- a first driving motor moving the recording head in a scanning direction;
- a second driving motor moving the recording head or indirectly moving the recording medium in a vertical scanning direction which is perpendicular to the scanning direction and is parallel to a recording side;
- first position determining means for determining a position of the recording head relative to the recording medium in the scanning direction;
- second position determining means for determining a position of the recording head relative to the recording medium in the vertical scanning direction;
- and
- controlling means for controlling the first and second position determining means such that the relative positions of the recording head are continuously determined by the first and second position determining means, respectively, after an emergency stop command is generated during recordation to turn off excitation of the first and second driving motors.
A control device for controlling an inkjet recording apparatus comprising a recording head recording on a recording medium, a driving motor moving at least one of the recording head and the recoding medium to change a recording position on the recording medium, and position determining means for determining a position of the recording head relative to the recording medium, the control device comprising:
- controlling means for controlling the position determining means such that the relative position is continuously determined by the position determining means after an emergency stop command is generated during recordation to turn off excitation of the driving motor.
