Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen einer Informa­ tion beschrieben, das die Art eines in einem Drucker vorhan­ denen Druckkopfes (18) angibt, der mindestens ein Druckele­ ment (86, 88, 90) enthält. Das Stellglied des Druckelements (86, 88, 90) hat einen elektrischen Widerstand, der über ei­ ne Auswertungsschaltung festgestellt wird. Dieser Widerstand wird einem von mehreren Widerstandsbereichen zugeordnet, die unterschiedlichen Druckkopfarten entsprechen. Die Auswertungs­ schaltung erzeugt als Information ein Typsignal (40a, 40b, 40c) abhängig von der erfolgten Zuordnung. Das Typsignal (40a, 40b, 40c) wird einer nachgeordneten Steuerung zur Ver­ fügung gestellt, die verschiedene Arten von Druckköpfen (17, 18) mit den jeweils passenden Steuersignalen versorgen kann. Die Erfindung kann auf praktisch alle Arten von Druckköpfen angewandt werden, deren Druckelemente über elektrische oder elektromechanische Stellglieder betätigt werden und demzu­ folge einen elektrischen Widerstand haben. There is a method for generating an informa tion described that the type of existing in a printer which print head (18) indicates the at least one Druckele ment (86, 88, 90). The actuator of the pressure element (86, 88, 90) has an electrical resistance, which over ei ne evaluation circuit is determined. This resistance is assigned to one of several resistance areas, the correspond to different printhead types. The evaluation circuit generates a type signal (40a, 40b, 40c) depending on the assignment made. The type signal (40a, 40b, 40c) is a downstream control for Ver the different types of printheads (17, 18) can supply the appropriate control signals. The invention can be applied to practically all types of printheads are applied, the pressure elements of electrical or Electromechanical actuators are operated and therefore follow an electrical resistance.
