Abstract
A method for generating an electrical signal with a plurality of pulses used to operate a continuous inkjet printer having plurality of nozzles, including the steps of generating a data table with a plurality of segment values, each segment value designating one of a high pulse and a low pulse of the electrical signal, and designating the pulse width of the designated pulse, reading a segment value from the data table, and generating at least one of a high pulse and a low pulse, the generated pulse and pulse width of the generated pulse being designated by the read segment value. In addition, a control circuit for implementing the method includes a memory device adapted to store a data table with a plurality of segment values, a counter for sequentially counting based on a segment value from the data table, and a synchronization device.
