ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printing method and apparatus having an oscillating printing bar with multiple nozzles. The nozzles emit continuous streams of ink droplets which are charged and deflected to the recording medium or the gutter for recirculation. The recording medium moves at a constant velocity in a direction perpendicular to the direction of oscillation by the printing bar and travels in a single-pass, straight-through path past the printing bar. The ink droplets are deflected in the direction of movement of the recording medium for a predetermined height of one character. This enables the printing bar to print swaths one character high and for the full width of the recording medium for each half cycle of printing bar oscillation. The normal scan length for each half cycle is the distance between adjacent nozzles in the printing bar. Omni-font capability is provided by the printer controller which can overscan the printing bar in one direction without overlapping printing by adjacent nozzles.
