Cutting a first media portion while printing on a subsequent media portion

摘要

A primer, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described. An example non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to instruct a printer to advance a media by a first distance. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processor to instruct the printer to advance the media by a second distance different than the first distance to align the media with a cutter assembly. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processor to adapt an interleave mask based on the second distance. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processor to instruct the cutter assembly to separate a first portion of the media from a second portion of the media while the printer is printing on the media.

主权项

1. A printer, comprising
a printhead assembly, a cutter assembly arranged downstream of the printhead assembly, and a control circuit to:
adjust a media advance movement distance for aligning a first media portion and a subsequent media portion with respect to the cutter assembly, in correspondence with a predetermined cut line location,adjust an interleave mask characteristic of a swath to match subsequent swaths when the media advance movement distance has been adjusted, andinstruct the cutter assembly to separate the printed first media portion from the subsequent media portion during printing of the subsequent media portion.
