Abstract
A non-impact printer apparatus and method for recording on a medium that is moving at a variable rate. A plurality of recording elements arranged transverse to movement of the medium records respective pixels. Each pixel is formed by enabling each recording element a plurality of times during a pixel recording period. To maintain uniformity in pixel recording a duration for recording a sub-pixel and the number of sub-pixels per pixel are adjusted in accordance with the speed of the recording medium. The sum of the sub-pixel recording durations during a pixel recording period comprises the pixel exposure time.
