Latest Patents
Elliot holds a patent for a "Heating control for thermal printers." This invention involves a thermal printer that includes a thermal print head with multiple heating elements for printing dots. A source of drive pulses operates the respective heating elements, with each drive pulse modulated to provide first and second periods. These periods selectively energize the heating elements, defining a selected energy level. The invention also features a memory that stores the modulated drive pulses and supplies them to the heating elements. A measuring circuit assesses the heating factor of each element and provides correction factors to reduce variations in dot printing due to differences in heating factors.
