Method for Position Acquisition for Use with a Hand-operated Printer

摘要

A method for position acquisition for use with a hand-operated printer includes activating the hand-operated printer to make navigation calculations that are based on reading a first sensor and a second sensor; moving the hand-operated printer until a field of view of each of the first sensor and the second sensor are simultaneously located on a first edge of a print medium to define a zero-crossing point of a first navigational axis; subsequently moving the hand-operated printer until the field of view of each of the first sensor and the second sensor are simultaneously located on a second edge of the print medium to define a zero-crossing point of a second navigational axis; and defining a rectilinear grid based on the first navigational axis and the second navigational axis for association with the print medium.
