Abstract
A sweep speed is determined for sweeping a printer head of a printer across a print medium for printing a swath of an image on the print medium. A distance by which to advance the print medium is at least partially determined in accordance with the determined sweep speed and the print medium is advanced by the determined distance.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- determining a sweep speed for sweeping a printer head of a printer across a print medium for printing a swath of an image on the print medium;
- determining a distance by which to advance the print medium at least partially based on the determined sweep speed;
- and
- advancing the print medium by the determined distance to enable printing of another swath.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a processor will cause the processor to perform the method of:
- determining a sweep speed for sweeping a printer head of a printer across a print medium for printing a swath of an image on the print medium;
- determining a distance by which to advance the print medium at least partially based on the determined sweep speed;
- and
- advancing the print medium by the determined distance to enable printing of another swath.
The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein determining the sweep speed comprises determining a sweep speed of a previous sweep or of an upcoming sweep of the printer head.
A printer system comprising:
- a printer head that is configured to sweep across a surface of a print medium so as to print a swath on the print medium;
- a print medium advancing mechanism that is configure to advance the print medium;
- and
- a controller that is configured to determine a sweep speed with which the sweeping is swept across the print medium, and to control the advancing mechanism to advance the print medium by a distance that is determined at least partially on the basis of the determined sweep speed.
