PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198697 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF PRINTING APPARATUS
The printing apparatus described in the patent application includes a fixing unit that heats the printing medium to fix an image onto it, a measuring unit to measure the length of the printing medium after heating, a deriving unit to determine the deformation amount of the printing medium with respect to temperature, a receiving unit for a deformation amount threshold, and a determining unit to set the fixation temperature based on the derived characteristic and the specified deformation amount threshold.
- Fixing unit heats printing medium to fix image
- Measuring unit determines length of medium after heating
- Deriving unit calculates deformation amount based on temperature
- Receiving unit takes in deformation amount threshold
- Determining unit sets fixation temperature based on derived characteristic and threshold
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for high-quality image fixation - Manufacturing for precise heating and fixing processes
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate fixation of images on printing medium - Prevents overheating or underheating during the fixing process
Benefits: - Improved image quality and durability - Consistent and reliable fixation results
Commercial Applications: Title: Precision Image Fixation Technology for Printing Industry This technology can be used in commercial printing services, manufacturing companies, and any industry that requires precise heating and fixing processes for images on various mediums.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the fixing unit ensure the accurate fixation of images on the printing medium? The fixing unit heats the printing medium to a specific temperature determined by the deriving unit based on the deformation amount characteristic and the specified threshold.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in the printing industry? Using this technology can result in higher quality and more durable printed images, leading to increased customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Original Abstract Submitted
a printing apparatus includes a fixing unit configured to fix an image onto a printing medium by heating the printing medium on which the image is printed, a measuring unit configured to measure a length of the printing medium after heating of the printing medium in the fixing unit, a deriving unit configured to derive a characteristic of a deformation amount of the printing medium with respect to temperature based on the measured length, a receiving unit configured to receive a specification of a deformation amount threshold, and a determining unit configured to determine a fixation temperature in fixation of the image onto the printing medium by the fixing unit, based on the derived characteristic and the received deformation amount threshold.
