PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311829 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a method for controlling the execution of a recovery operation in a printing unit based on the dot count value and printing time period. - A dot count value, representing the number of times ink is ejected during printing, is obtained. - The printing time period is also recorded. - If the dot count value per unit time is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, a count value is updated by adding the dot count value. - The updated count value is used to control the execution of a recovery operation along with a threshold value. - If the dot count value per unit time is larger than the predetermined value, the execution of the recovery operation is controlled based on the count value and the threshold value without adding the dot count value to the count value.


Original Abstract Submitted

A dot count value, which is the number of times ink is ejected during printing performed by a printing unit, and a printing time period are obtained, and, in a case where a dot count value per unit time based on the dot count value and the printing time period is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, a count value, which is an accumulated value, is updated to a value to which the dot count value is added, in order to control the execution of a recovery operation based on the updated count value and the threshold value, and, in a case where the dot count value per unit time is larger than the predetermined value, the execution of the recovery operation is controlled based on the count value and the threshold value without adding the dot count value to the count value.
