RECORDING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208230 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF RECORDING APPARATUS
The patent application describes a recording apparatus with a discharge unit, a storing unit, and a control unit.
- The discharge unit causes a recording head to discharge liquid.
- The storing unit stores the liquid discharged from the recording head.
- The control unit notifies the user not to start a discharge operation until a predetermined time has passed since the previous session of the discharge operation.
- If the amount of liquid discharged in the previous session is a first discharge amount, the user is notified to wait.
- If the amount of liquid discharged in the previous session is a second discharge amount smaller than the first discharge amount, the user is not notified.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in recording devices such as printers, plotters, or label makers. - It can also be applied in medical devices for precise liquid dispensing.
Problems Solved: - Prevents wastage of liquid by controlling the discharge operation. - Ensures the proper functioning of the recording apparatus by regulating the liquid discharge.
Benefits: - Efficient use of liquid resources. - Extends the lifespan of the recording apparatus. - Reduces maintenance costs.
Commercial Applications: Title: Liquid Discharge Control System for Recording Devices This technology can be marketed to manufacturers of recording devices for various industries such as printing, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control unit determine the appropriate time to start a discharge operation? - The control unit calculates the time based on the amount of liquid discharged in the previous session. 2. What are the potential risks of not following the notifications provided by the control unit? - Not following the notifications may lead to inefficient use of liquid and potential damage to the recording apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
a recording apparatus includes a discharge unit that causes a recording head to discharge liquid, a storing unit that stores the liquid discharged from the recording head, and a control unit that notifies a user not to start a discharge operation until a predetermined time has passed since a previous session of the discharge operation, when an amount of liquid discharged in the previous session of the discharge operation by the discharge unit is a first discharge amount, and not to notify the user in a case where the amount of liquid discharged in the previous session of the discharge operation by the discharge unit is a second discharge amount smaller than the first discharge amount.
