US 2019/0073168 A1 · PRINTER APPARATUS, PRINTER CONTROL APPARATUS, AND PRINTER DRIVER PROGRAM

Abstract

A printer apparatus includes a memory unit configured to record a first correction value, a print unit configured to print print data on a first medium by feeding the first medium on the basis of the first correction value when the print data is received from a printer control apparatus, a sensor unit configured to measure a measurement value corresponding to a feeding error of the first medium, a measurement value transmission unit configured to transmit the measurement value to the printer control apparatus, and a correction value update unit configured to update the first correction value to a second correction value received from the printer control apparatus, wherein the print unit prints the print data on a second medium by feeding the second medium on the basis of the second correction value when a retry command is then received from the printer control apparatus.

Dependent claims

A printer apparatus comprising:

a memory unit configured to record a first correction value;
a print unit configured to print print data on a first medium among a plurality of media by feeding the first medium on the basis of the first correction value when the print data is received from a printer control apparatus;
a sensor unit configured to measure a measurement value corresponding to a feeding error of the first medium when the first medium is fed;
a measurement value transmission unit configured to transmit the measurement value to the printer control apparatus;
and
a correction value update unit configured to update the first correction value to a second correction value set on the basis of the measurement value when the second correction value is received from the printer control apparatus,
wherein the print unit prints the print data on a second medium by feeding the second medium among the media on the basis of the second correction value when the first correction value is updated to the second correction value, and a retry command is then received from the printer control apparatus.

4 more elements

A printer control apparatus comprising:

a printer control unit configured to transmit print data to a printer apparatus such that the printer apparatus prints the print data on a first medium among a plurality of media;
a measurement value acquisition unit configured to receive a measurement value measured by the printer apparatus from the printer apparatus;
and
a correction value update unit configured to transmit a second correction value to the printer apparatus such that a first correction value recorded in the printer apparatus is updated to the second correction value calculated on the basis of the measurement value,
wherein the printer control unit transmits a retry command to the printer apparatus such that the print data is printed on a second medium among the media when the measurement value is not included in a predetermined allowable range, and
the printer apparatus performs printing on a medium by feeding the medium on the basis of a correction value recorded in the printer apparatus.

3 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored therein a printer driver program causing a computer to execute a method comprising:

transmitting print data to a printer apparatus to cause the printer apparatus to print the print data on a first medium among a plurality of media;
receiving a measurement value measured by the printer apparatus from the printer apparatus;
transmitting a second correction value calculated on the basis of the measurement value to the printer apparatus such that a first correction value recorded in the printer apparatus is updated to the second correction value;
and
transmitting a retry command to the printer apparatus such that the print data is printed on a second medium among the media when the measurement value is not included in a predetermined allowable range,
wherein the printer apparatus performs printing on a medium by feeding the medium on the basis of a correction value recorded in the printer apparatus.
