Re: Epson Direct Inkjet with Homemade CIS and autoreset

2006-06-14 by Steve

Y'know, I have a contact in China and can get the autoreset chips for
a few dollars each, not $15 or $30 each. The problem is I would need
to order quantity.

They reset at 5% and only go to 95%, that way the printer doesn't run
an unecessary cleaning as it would if the chip reset to 100%.

I'm not sure most Epson printers will work if the chips don't count
down during printing. The autoresets work by turning the printer off
and on again.

20 MHz means 5mips 40 MHz means 8mips. The problem is you need to
respond serial clock which has a period of around 4 micro seconds. 
They do not use any known SPI or I2C serial interface.
