Abstract
A liquid discharging system includes a head and a controller system. The head has a first nozzle row including a first nozzle and a second nozzle row including a second nozzle. The nozzles in the first and second nozzle rows are aligned in a first direction, and the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row are arrayed along a second direction, which intersects with the first direction. The controller system is configured to control the head to discharge liquid of the same type from the first nozzle and the second nozzle at a recording medium when the first nozzle and the second nozzle are each located at a same position with respect to the recording medium while the head moves in the second direction relatively to the recording medium.
Claims14
A liquid discharging system, comprising:
- a head including a first nozzle row and a second nozzle row, the first nozzle row having a plurality of nozzles including a first nozzle aligned in a first direction, the second nozzle row having a plurality of nozzles including a second nozzle aligned in the first direction, the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row being arrayed along a second direction, the second direction intersecting with the first direction, the first nozzle and the second nozzle being located at positions to overlap each other in the second direction;
- and
- a controller system configured to control the head to discharge liquid of the same type from the first nozzle and the second nozzle at a recording medium when the first nozzle and the second nozzle are each located at the same position with respect to the recording medium while the head moves in the second direction relatively to the recording medium.
A liquid discharging system, comprising:
- a head including a first nozzle row and a second nozzle row, the first nozzle row having a plurality of nozzles including a first nozzle aligned in a first direction, the second nozzle row having a plurality of nozzles including a second nozzle aligned in the first direction, the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row being arrayed along a second direction, the second direction intersecting with the first direction, the first nozzle and the second nozzle being located at positions to overlap each other in the second direction;
- and
- a controller system configured to:
- receive image data including image data pieces to compose an image, of which resolution corresponding to a third direction intersecting with the second direction is equal to a product of a resolution of an image to be printed on a recording medium and the number of the nozzle rows in the head;
- distribute two image data pieces adjacent in the third direction among the image data pieces in the image data to the first nozzle and the second nozzle;
- and
- control the head to discharge liquid of the same type at the recording medium from the first nozzle according to one of the two image data pieces assigned to the first nozzle and from the second nozzle according to the other of the two image data pieces assigned to the second nozzle while the head moves in the second direction relatively to the recording medium.
