Computer printer initialization |
摘要 |
<p>A printing apparatus adapted to be connected to a host device (220) comprises a print head, a first controller (2) for initializing the printing apparatus the when printing apparatus is turned on; and first timer means (6) for detecting whether or not a predetermined delay time (T1) has lapsed since the printing apparatus started operating. The first controller (2) is responsive to said first timer (6) for performing a first initialization process (4) before lapse of said delay time (T1), and performing a second initialization process (5) differing from the first initialization process (4) after lapse of said first delay time. This avoids unnecessary consumption of consumables and a loss of mechanical durability resulting from interruption of printer initialization processes by reset requests sent to the printer by the host device during the host startup process. <IMAGE></p> |
