Printer controller for correction of rotationally displaced printhead
View Patent ↗A printer controller is provided for supplying ejection data to a printhead mounted to a carrier and having a plurality of ejection nozzles. The printer controller is configured to determine a rotational displacement of the printhead relative to the carrier, determine a correction factor at least partially based on a thickness of media being printed on so as to at least partially compensate for the determined rotational displacement, and alter the supply of the ejection data based on the correction factor.
1. A printer controller for supplying ejection data to a printhead mounted to a carrier and having a plurality of ejection nozzles, the printer controller configured to:
determine a rotational displacement of the printhead relative to the carrier;
determine a correction factor at least partially based on a thickness of media being printed on so as to at least partially compensate for the determined rotational displacement; and
alter the supply of the ejection data based on the correction factor.
2. A printer controller according to claim 1 , configured to retrieve the correction factor from a memory associated with the printhead.
3. A printer controller according to claim 2 , wherein the memory is mounted with the printhead on the carrier.
4. A printer controller according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational displacement is roll.
5. A printer controller according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational displacement is yaw.
6. A printer controller according to claim 1 , wherein the printhead is one of a plurality of printheads mounted on the carrier and the printer controller is configured to determine an order in which at least some of the ejection data is supplied to the printheads, the order being determined at least partly on the basis of the correction factor.
