Application: Printing apparatus and control method of printing apparatus (Patent ID: US20240198693A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a printing apparatus that includes a fixing unit to heat and fix an image onto a printing medium. The apparatus also features a measuring unit to measure the length of the printing medium at different temperatures, including before and after heating. A determining unit is used to establish the appropriate fixation temperature based on these measurements. Additionally, the apparatus may include a deriving unit to analyze the deformation amount of the printing medium across different temperatures to further inform the determination of the fixation temperature.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a control method for the printing apparatus, which involves measuring the length of the printing medium at various temperatures and using this data to determine the optimal fixation temperature for the printing medium. This method ensures that the image is fixed onto the printing medium effectively and accurately. The apparatus and method described in the patent aim to enhance the printing process by precisely controlling the fixation temperature based on the characteristics of the printing medium at different temperatures, ultimately improving the quality and durability of the printed images.
