Problems solved by technology

it's not economical
In addition, even in the case of a non-disposable print head, the print head can be reused only by refilling ink (or replacing the ink tank), but since the life of the print head is usually shorter than that of the main body of the printing apparatus, it is difficult to print The printhead must be replaced several times during the life of the device body
As is the case with disposable printheads, this is not economical

Embodiment Construction

[0035] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036]

[0037] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an ink jet printer 20 (hereinafter referred to as a printer) as a typical embodiment of the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 1 , a carriage HC is engaged with a helical groove 5004 of a lead screw 5005 , which is rotated by transmission gears 5009 to 5011 for driving force when the drive motor 5013 rotates forward and reverse. The carriage HC has a pin (not shown), and scans reciprocally in the directions of arrows a and b in FIG. 1 . A complete inkjet cartridge IJC with printhead IJH and ink tank IT is mounted on carriage HC. Reference numeral 5002 denotes a paper platen that presses paper against a roll 5000 extending from one end to the other end of the scanning path of the carriage. Reference numerals 5007 and 5008 denote photocouplers serving as home position ...

Abstract

This invention provides a low-cost, economical printing apparatus and printing system. For example, characteristic information of a printhead which is described, printed, adhered, or formed on a printhead or its accessory (e.g., a packaging paper box) in a format identifiable to human or an electronic device is man-machine-interactively inputted to a host (21) or electronically inputted to the host (21) by a barcode reader or the like. The printing apparatus discriminates whether or not a command sent from the host via an interface is a command that includes characteristic information of the printhead, and control is made to write the characteristic information of the print head into a non-volatile memory (1708) (EEPROM) in accordance with the discriminating result. The printhead (IJH) is controlled in accordance with the characteristic information written into the non-volatile memory (1708) to execute a print process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing device and a printing system, and more particularly, to a printing device including an inkjet printhead and a printing system using the printing device. Background technique [0002] As is well known, a conventional printing apparatus includes a permanent memory such as an electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) or the like, which stores individual information of a print head used in the printing apparatus such as operating status, operating history, production number, device Logo, etc., and control information such as the position correction information of the head carriage during reciprocating printing, etc. [0003] For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-309839 discloses a printing device that stores information for correcting printhead installation errors, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-224890 discloses a printing device that stores Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-35922 ...
