Abstract
A printer comprising a printhead comprising a number of non-staggered nozzles and a processor communicatively coupled to the printhead, in which the processor executes computer usable program code to adjust the firing time of a number of nozzles within a group of nozzles by a portion of a full dot row. A method comprising, with a processor, adjusting the firing time of a number of nozzles within a group of nozzles of a printhead by a portion of a full dot row by delaying the firing of a subset of those nozzles by a full dot row, in which the nozzles of the printhead are not staggered.
Claims15
A printer comprising:
- a printhead comprising a number of non-staggered nozzles;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the printhead;
- in which the processor executes computer usable program code to:
- adjust the firing time of a number of nozzles within a group of nozzles by a portion of a full dot row.
A method comprising:
- with a processor, adjusting the firing time of a number of nozzles within a group of nozzles of a printhead by a portion of a full dot row by delaying the firing of a subset of those nozzles by a full dot row;
- in which the nozzles of the printhead are not staggered.
A computer program product for adjusting the resolution of a printed document, the computer program product comprising:
- a compute readable storage medium comprising computer usable program code embodied therewith;
- the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, delay the firing of a number of nozzles within a group of nozzles of a printhead by a portion of a dot row;
- in which the nozzles of the printhead are not staggered;
- and
- in which the portion of a dot row is equal to a quarter of the dot row.
