20090174751 | DROPLET DISCHARGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR HEATING FUNCTIONAL LIQUID THEREOF - A method is for heating a functional liquid of a droplet discharging device that has a storage which houses a container storing a functional liquid containing a functional material; a droplet discharge head discharging the functional liquid in a droplet; a cooling means included to the storage and cooling the functional liquid; and a supply tube supplying the functional liquid that is cooled in the storage to the droplet discharge head. The method includes: heating the functional liquid in the supply tube with waste heat that is generated correspondingly to cooling of the cooling means. | 07-09-2009 |

The method includes: heating the functional liquid in the supply tube with waste heat that is generated correspondingly to cooling of the cooling means. | 10-20-2011 |
20120019581 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - Each of controllers includes an error management section that generates an error command including an error code indicating the content of an error when the controller detects the error. A host apparatus includes a host controller. If the error command from the master controller and the error command from the slave controller are identical to each other, the host controller displays a single piece of error information on a monitor. Specifically, the single piece of error information includes the error code included in the error command and an error message corresponding to the error code. | 01-26-2012 |
20120026523 | PRINTING CONTROL DEVICE, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD IN PRINTING APPARATUS - Commands, which are stored in a queue within controllers in order of acquisition, are transmitted to mechanical I/F units (steps ( | 02-02-2012 |
20120026545 | PRINT CONTROL DEVICE, PRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PROVIDING INFORMATION IN PRINTING APPARATUS - A controller includes an information transferring unit in a main control unit. A mechanical controller transmits device state information at predetermined time intervals. The information transferring unit performs some processing on the device state information received from the mechanical controller as necessary and stores the information in a second storage unit. Upon receiving a device state acquisition command from a host control unit, the information transferring unit transmits device state information read out from the second storage unit to the host control unit as a response to the device state acquisition command. | 02-02-2012 |
20120026546 | PRINT CONTROL DEVICE, PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROL METHOD FOR PRINTING APPARATUS - Controllers on the master and slave sides each perform an ink cartridge checking process and transmit a detection result, for example “NG”, obtained though the ink cartridge checking process to the other controller. Furthermore, the same ink cartridge checking process is performed in the other controller and the detection result thereof, for example “OK” is transmitted to the first controller. A mechanical control unit merges (combines) the respective detection results and if at least one of the results is NG, a merged result of NG is obtained. In the case of NG, this fact is transmitted to a host control unit and if YES is selected in a Y/N display, the error is cleared. On the other hand, in the case of a merged result of OK, an ink cartridge OK state notification is issued to a mechanical controller. | 02-02-2012 |
20120188576 | RECORDING METHOD AND RECORDING APPARATUS - P (fifteen) recording heads are arranged in two columns in a zigzag pattern in a recording unit. The P recording heads are divided into N (two) groups in the sub-scanning direction (up-down direction in the figure). The N (two) controllers respectively control the recording heads pertaining to corresponding groups. Therefore, the number of the boundary (M/S boundary line) of the recording regions (master recording region and slave recording region) of the recording heads controlled by the different controllers becomes at least N−1 (one). | 07-26-2012 |
20140009782 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - Each of controllers includes an error management section that generates an error command including an error code indicating the content of an error when the controller detects the error. A host apparatus includes a host controller. If the error command from the master controller and the error command from the slave controller are identical to each other, the host controller displays a single piece of error information on a monitor. Specifically, the single piece of error information includes the error code included in the error command and an error message corresponding to the error code. | 01-09-2014 |
20140015875 | PRINTING CONTROL DEVICE, PRINTING DEVICE, AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD - A control device for a printer includes a master controller and a slave controller, and the constituent elements of the master controller and the slave controllers are configured symmetrically. The master controller includes a virtual mechanical controller. | 01-16-2014 |
