Appl. No.:
09/512913
Inventors:
Thomas P. Szumla - Lockport NY
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G06F 1500
US Classification:
358 18, 358 116, 358 117, 358443, 358444
Abstract:
An apparatus ( ) for formatting bitmapped image data for printing. An image data bus section ( ) has an image bus interface ( ) adapted to be coupled to a computer bus to transmit the image data, a front end memory ( ) coupled to the image bus interface ( ) to receive the image data in an unformatted form, a back end memory ( ) for receiving the image data in a formatted form, and a print interface device ( coupled to the back end memory ( ) for transmitting print data based on the image data in a formatted form. A processor bus section ( ) has an image processor ( ) and a processor bus interface ( adapted to be coupled to the computer bus to communicate print processing instructions between the print processor ( ) and the computer. A gateway ( ) couples the print processor ( ) to the front end memory ( ) and the back end memory ( ) whereby the print processor ) receives the image data in an unformatted form from the front end memory ( ), formats the image data, and transmits the image data in a formatted form to the back end memory ( ). The image data signals and the processor instruction signals are separated and transmitted over separate buses and bus interfaces to minimize processor I/O wait states and parasitic capacitance.

Filed:
Sep 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/960109
Inventors:
Thomas P. Szumla - Lockport NY
Manh Tang - Penfield NY
David A. Johnson - Rochester NY
David S. Madziarz - Bergen NY
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
B41J 2938
US Classification:
347 12, 347 48, 347 82
Abstract:
An inkjet printhead assembly ( ) for an inkjet printer having a printhead ( ) with a plurality of nozzles ( ) and data path and control electronics circuitry ( ) operably coupled with the printhead ( ) for providing image data that control the flow of ink through the nozzles ( ). The nozzles ( ) are arranged in sections with at least two heater elements, an upper heater ( ) and a lower heater ( ), predisposed about each nozzle ( ), the heater elements configured to actuate a nozzle ( ) for printing. The data path and control electronics circuitry ( ) comprises a plurality of shift registers ( ) configured to drive the nozzles, causing them to deliver ink in the direction of a receiver media, such as paper. Interconnections ( ) between the data path and control electronics circuitry ( ) and printhead ( ) include DATA, CLOCK, LATCH and ENABLE lines which are used to operate the printhead ( ) and, in turn, the nozzles ( ) via the shift register stages ( ). The number of interconnections are minimized by interleaving data to the shift registers between upper and lower heater elements of the printhead ( ) or by interleaving the data on the DATA line to the shift register stages ( ) for the upper and lower heater elements.

View page
US Patent:
6866367, Mar 15, 2005
Filed:
Dec 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/325190
Inventors:
Thomas P. Szumla - Lockport NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
B41J002/16
US Classification:
347 50
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting data to a printhead by moving a carriage while the printhead records on a receiver medium. The printhead includes a plurality of recording elements and first electronic circuitry is also mounted with the printhead on the carriage for bi-directional movement with the carriage. An optical data link is coupled to the first electronic circuitry. The optical data link carries image data signals from second electronic circuitry remote from the carriage.

Image Processor For High-Speed Printing Applications

View page
US Patent:
7050197, May 23, 2006
Filed:
Sep 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/662253
Inventors:
Thomas P. Szumla - Lockport NY, US
Manh Tang - Penfield NY, US
Edward A. Hauschild - Pittsford NY, US
Douglas W. Couwenhoven - Fairport NY, US
David A. Johnson - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/00
G06F 13/00
G06F 13/14
US Classification:
358 19, 358 115, 710305
Abstract:
An image processor () supporting very high-speed printing. The image processor () preferably has two separate connections to a source () of the image being printed, e. g. , a printer control bus () and an image data bus (). The image processor () preferably accepts images from the image source () in commonly known graphics file formats, such as the well-known 24-bit, uncompressed TIFF file format. The image processor () is a multiprocessor implementation. Preferably, one processor () coordinates or “orchestrates” control of the printing system and handshaking with the image source via the printer control bus () and the other processor () functions as a raster image processor (RIP) processor () and accepts and stores images into the printer environment from the image source () via the image data bus (). The RIP processor () preferably performs color separation on the image into color planes and transmits each color plane to a separate processing path from that point on in the imaging chain. Each color plane preferably has a separate imaging path out from a shared image data bus ().
