Method and device for controlling printing speed

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for controlling a printing speed, relating to a printing technology. The method for controlling a printing speed comprises the following steps of: receiving lattice data generated by a host side after processing original data; storing the lattice data in a storage unit and reading the lattice data from the storage unit for printing, wherein the data quantity in the storage unit is monitored, when the data quantity in the storage unit is changed into a preset adjusting value, the printing speed is adjusted to be a printing speed corresponding to the adjusting value, and the greater the adjusting value is, the higher the corresponding printing speed is. In the embodiment of the invention, the storage unit for storing the lattice data received from the host side is added in printing equipment, the printing speed of the printing equipment is adjusted according to the data quantity in the storage unit to process original data into the speed of the lattice data according to the host side, control the printing speed of the printing equipment in real time and avoid data errors caused by overhigh printing speed and low printing efficiency caused by overlow printing speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to printing technology, in particular to a method and device for controlling printing speed. Background technique [0002] In recent years, digital printing has been widely used. In digital printing, the raw data is processed into dot matrix data by the host side that needs to be printed, and then the dot matrix data is transmitted to the printing equipment. The printing equipment processes the dot matrix data into The data suitable for imaging, that is, imaging data, is then controlled to directly image the imaging data to complete printing. [0003] In the printing process, the printing speed is mainly affected by three factors: one is the speed at which the host side processes the original data into dot matrix data, the other is the speed at which the control system processes the dot matrix data into data suitable for imaging, and the third is the speed at which the printing The speed at which the device prints. When the cont...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the general printing system is printing while processing the original data. Since the printing equipment cannot predict the complexity and size of the data to be printed this time, it is difficult to reasonably control the printing speed. When the printing speed is too fast When the time is too high, it will cause the imaging data consumption in the control system to be too fast. The content is very simple, but it also takes a long time, which affects printing efficiency

[0005] If you process all the original data that needs to be printed this time into dot matrix data in advance, and then start the printing equipment to start printing, although the problem of slow data processing speed at the host end is avoided, when printing a large number of complex images, a large number of The storage space to store the processed dot matrix data increases the storage cost of the printing device; and if the complexity analysis of the data to be printed is performed in advance, and the printing speed is controlled according to the analysis results, the processing cost will undoubtedly be increased. the complexity
