Abstract
A motion controller for the head carriage of an ink jet printer comprises a target signal generator providing constant velocity reference input to a servo loop controller. Also, two levels of current are applied to the drive motor during direction reversal, a lower one during deceleration of the carriage, and a higher one during acceleration of the carriage. The timing of the two current levels is determined by inputting a rectified velocity signal into a slope detector. A comparator converts the output of the slope detector into a binary signal for controlling the motor current level.
