Method for generating variable length strobe pulses with reference to image distance

A method of operating a printer enables activation signals of variable lengths to be generated for operation of a sintering head. The activation signals are generated with reference to a distance between activation signals for a first component to be a first determined distance and a duration of the...

Zusammenfassung:A method of operating a printer enables activation signals of variable lengths to be generated for operation of a sintering head. The activation signals are generated with reference to a distance between activation signals for a first component to be a first determined distance and a duration of the activation signals for the first component to be longer than the first predetermined distance. This distance and duration are set to values that enable the generation of activation signals before the first predetermined distance is reached to maintain an activation signal until the generation of the activation signals is terminated. By generating a different number of activation signals, the duration of an initial activation signal can be varied.
