A printing device
This application provides a printing apparatus, belonging to the field of printing technology. The printing apparatus includes a frame, a drive assembly, and at least two sets of printing components. The drive assembly and all printing components are mounted on the frame, and all printing components are arranged sequentially along a first direction, which is the printing media transport direction of the printing apparatus. The drive assembly includes a drive motor and drive arms connected between the drive motor and the printing components. The drive motor drives all drive arms to move synchronously, thereby pushing all printing components to move relative to the frame, allowing the printing apparatus to switch between a working state and a consumable replacement state. When the printing apparatus is in the working state, the extension direction of the drive arms is inclined relative to the first direction. This application ensures the synchronicity of the movement of multiple printing components, thereby ensuring the printing accuracy of the printing apparatus. Simultaneously, it reduces the overall size of the printing apparatus, decreases the space occupied by the printing apparatus, and expands the application range of the printing apparatus.

Digital Printer Product Quality Inspection Management System Based on Data Encryption
PendingCN122087874ANarrow down the range of dataEasy to store and protectDigital data protectionPlatform integrity maintainancePlaintextData stream
This invention discloses a digital printer product quality inspection and management system based on data encryption, relating to the field of digital printing quality inspection security technology. It includes modules for data acquisition and encryption, key separation and storage, secure decryption, and inspection analysis. The system collects raw quality data such as printed sample images, inkjet head operating electrical parameter waveforms, and printing media transmission speed time-series records. It generates a one-time encryption key for each printing batch and performs real-time streaming encryption. The encrypted data stream is stored in a protected partition of the database, and the corresponding key is stored separately on an independent secure key management server. During inspection, the key is retrieved to decrypt and restore the data. After multi-dimensional analysis and comparison with quality standard thresholds, the product's qualification is determined, and a digital inspection report is generated. This solution avoids the exposure of raw data in plaintext, reduces the scope of key leakage, and improves the security level of print quality data from the aspects of encryption method and storage architecture.

Printing apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and method for improving throughput when dividing print medium
ActiveUS12545037B2Electrographic process apparatusOther printing apparatusPrint mediaTesting Methods
A printing apparatus includes a divider disposed downstream of a print engine in a conveyance direction, and a controller. The controller causes a conveyor to convey a print medium until a planned dividing position of the print medium reaches a dividing position of the divider, when a first conveyance amount is larger than a second conveyance amount. The first conveyance amount corresponds to a print width for a printing process by the print engine. The second conveyance amount is calculated using a distance between a reference position and the dividing position and a distance between the reference position and the planned dividing position. After the planned dividing position of the print medium reaches the dividing position, the controller causes the divider to divide the print medium into first and second print media. The controller causes the conveyor to convey the second sheet to a printing position.
