SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VARIABLE INCREMENTING OF PRINTER CARRIAGE MOVEMENT

摘要

A system and method for determining a placement of an autonomous printing device on a substrate to be printed and for varying an incrementing distance of an autonomous printing device upon a detection that a newly estimated location of the device is different than a prior estimated location of the device. An incrementing may be varied to accommodate one or more printing positions on a swath to be printed in light of the newly estimated location. An incrementing may be varied on one or more of an x-axis or y-axis movement. Further disclosed are a system and method for inserting a print head cartridge into an aperture on a ventral side of a printing device, where upon such insertion, the cartridge is held in a cavity located dorsally from the aperture, and the print nozzles of the cartridge are directed toward the substrate.
