PRINTING APPARATUS FOR PRINTING USING POWER SUPPLIED FROM BATTERY OR EXTERNALLY SUPPLIED POWER, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18298475 Titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS FOR PRINTING USING POWER SUPPLIED FROM BATTERY OR EXTERNALLY SUPPLIED POWER, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a printing apparatus that has a battery and an interface for power supply. The apparatus includes a conveyance unit that moves the printing medium using power from the battery or the interface. If the battery level is above a certain threshold, the printing medium is moved using the battery power. If the battery level is below the threshold and the apparatus is connected to the interface, the battery is charged using the interface power while the printing medium is moved. After the printing medium reaches a specific position, the battery level is checked again. If it is above a second threshold, the printing process begins.
Original Abstract Submitted
A printing apparatus includes an interface that supplies power from the outside, a battery, and a conveyance unit that conveys a printing medium using power from the battery or interface. When the remaining battery level before conveyance of a printing medium starts is determined as being not less than a first threshold, the conveyance unit is caused to convey the printing medium by power from the battery. When the remaining battery level is determined as being less than the first threshold and the printing apparatus is supplied with power from the interface, the battery is charged with power from the interface, the conveyance unit is caused to convey the printing medium, and a second determination is performed for the remaining battery level after the printing medium reaches a predetermined position. When the remaining battery level is determined as being not less than a second threshold, image-printing processing starts.
