Printing System With Selective Heater Activation To Enable Ink Flow To A Printhead In The Printing System

View page
US Patent:
8556398, Oct 15, 2013
Filed:
Nov 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/947556
Inventors:
Reid Wayne Gunnell - Wilsonville OR, US
David Paul Platt - Newberg OR, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
B41J 2/175
US Classification:
347 88, 347 99
Abstract:
A method for operating a printer having multiple printheads includes activating a heater that is operatively connected to a printhead that ejects ink having a single color in response to receiving a print job. The printer detects the presence of colors other than the single color in image data received in the print job, and activates heaters operatively coupled to printheads that eject ink drops that correspond to the detected colors.

Mitigation Of Print Banding Using A Single User-Controllable Parameter

US Patent:
20190114517, Apr 18, 2019
Filed:
Oct 17, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/786076
Inventors:
- Norwalk CT, US
ERIC HYDE - PORTLAND OR, US
WALTER SEAN HARRIS - PORTLAND OR, US
BRIAN J. DANIELS - LAKE OSWEGO OR, US
REID W. GUNNELL - WILSONVILLE OR, US
NASSER ALAVIZADEH - TIGARD OR, US
LISA M. SCHMIDT - PORTLAND OR, US
ROBERT MARK JACOBS - TIGARD OR, US
International Classification:
G06K 15/12
B41J 29/393
Abstract:
A method of correcting print banding in a printer, including initiating the banding correction process, generating prints with various levels of banding based on different levels of voltages applied to the array of jets, receiving an input from the user selecting the preferred print, and adjusting voltage levels applied to jets corresponding to the preferred print.

Methods And Systems For Ejecting Drops From Inkjets Following A Period Of Latency

US Patent:
20190054740, Feb 21, 2019
Filed:
Aug 17, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/679578
Inventors:
- Norwalk CT, US
REID W. GUNNELL - WILSONVILLE OR, US
BRIAN EDWARD WILLIAMS - WOODBURN OR, US
International Classification:
B41J 2/045
B41J 2/21
G01R 19/25
Abstract:
An inkjet printhead including an inkjet configured to eject drops of ink in response to receiving an electrical signal, a memory configured to store image data, and a processor operatively coupled to the inkjet and the memory. The processor receives the image data and determines a period of latency of the inkjet printhead. When the period of latency is within a predetermined timeframe, the processor increases a voltage of the electrical signal to a second voltage for an initial number of drops to eject the drops of ink in a pattern of printed ink drops with reference to at least a portion of the image data and reduce the voltage of the electrical signal after the initial number of drops to eject drops of ink in a pattern of printed ink drops with reference to a remaining portion of the image data, and generates the electrical signal.

US Patent:
20190047297, Feb 14, 2019
Filed:
Aug 11, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/674764
Inventors:
- Norwalk CT, US
Chu-Heng Liu - Penfield NY, US
Paul J. McConville - Webser NY, US
Jason M. LeFevre - Penfield NY, US
Douglas K. Herrmann - Webster NY, US
Reid W. Gunnell - Wilsonville OR, US
International Classification:
B41J 3/407
B41J 29/00
Abstract:
A direct-to-object printer includes an object rotating subsystem. The object rotating subsystem includes an actuator with an output shaft, a holder mounted to the output shaft, the holder being configured to grip a portion of the object, and a controller operatively connected to the actuator. The controller is configured to operate the actuator to rotate the holder and the object gripped by the holder to enable at least one of the printheads in a printer to print a portion of a circumference of the object that is longer than a width of the at least one printhead.

Method For Loading A Media Feeder To Accommodate Users With Disabilities

US Patent:
20180305145, Oct 25, 2018
Filed:
Jun 28, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/021752
Inventors:
- Norwalk CT, US
Reid W. Gunnell - Wilsonville OR, US
International Classification:
B65H 1/14
B41J 13/10
B65H 7/02
B41J 13/00
H04N 1/00
Abstract:
A media feeder including a tray arranged to hold media, a motor arranged to move the tray in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction, a sensor arranged to detect at least one position of the tray, a processor arranged to execute a set of steps, and a memory element arranged to store the set of steps. The set of steps includes: receiving a first input from a user selecting a first loading preference; moving the tray with the motor in the first direction a first distance from the first position to a second position; loading a first quantity of media into the tray; and, moving the tray in the second direction until a first sheet of the first quantity of media is in a feeding position.

System For Transporting Phase Change Ink Using A Thermoelectric Device

View page
US Patent:
20140104333, Apr 17, 2014
Filed:
Oct 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/649754
Inventors:
- Norwalk CT, US
Reid Wayne Gunnell - Wilsonville OR, US
Assignee:
XEROX CORPORATION - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
B41J 2/195
US Classification:
347 7
Abstract:
An ink transport system for a phase change ink printer has been developed that enables accurate control of refilling a second ink reservoir from a first ink reservoir with minimal moving parts. The system includes a thermoelectric device that is operatively connected to a thermally conductive tube, which fluidly connects the first and second ink reservoirs. The thermoelectric device is operated by a controller to heat phase change ink in the thermally conductive tube and enable flow of ink from the first reservoir to the second reservoir, and to remove heat from the phase change ink in the thermally conductive tube to solidify ink in the tube and disable flow of ink from the first reservoir to the second reservoir.
