Head Passes

2001-12-16 by lyonscox

Go long, it's a big sheet and we need a touchdown of Dmax!

:-)

All this talk about how many times the head passes comparative 
to 'resolution' makes sense in the multiples...it's true in the 
scanning too, in that if you use the long axis on the longer axis 
resolution you get 'more' data - or so it's been written.

A curious thought...in my Epson 3000 user guide page C-1 "Line 
Spacing" is 1/6" default, programmable in 1/8" and 1/360" increments.

Since the 3000 was the 'first greatest home printer' ;-) it wouldn't 
surprise me if the next generations had this programmable feature as 
well.

Paper feed is 100 milliseconds per 1/3" line...not that it means 
something to me yet.
