摘要: A method for operating a thermal ink jet printer having printhead (19) with firing heater resistors (17) responsive to pulses provided interconnecting pads the by driver (13) which receives supply voltage from power (15). The includes steps of measuring pad resistance that is representative interconnect each resistors, detecting target energy and pulse width printhead, computing width, calculating will cause provide setting approximately equal voltage, actual supply, determining an measured resistance, selecting based on energy.
