Abstract

Die eine Anordnung zur Datennachführung für Aufwärmzyklen von Tintenstrahldruckköpfen, wobei ein Speicher (200, 210, 220) zum Speichern von Aufwärmdaten eines Tintenstrahldruckkopfes (2101, 2201) ausgebildet ist und für die Ansteuerung mindestens eines Tintenstrahldruckkopfes (2101, 2201) eine Steuereinheit (14) vorgesehen und dazu programmiert ist, mindestens eine Messung der Umgebungstemperatur (2119) durchzuführen und in Abhängigkeit davon und von vorbestimmten gespeicherten Bedingungen auf den Speicher (210, 220) zuzugreifen, um eine Datennachführung entsprechend den temperatur-, vergangenheits- und/oder user-bezogenen Bedingungen für einen Schnellstart durchzuführen. Im Verfahren ist vorgesehen, dass eine Speicherung von Aufwärmdaten und von Daten einer ersten Bedingung bei einer Neuinstallation einer Tintenkartusche vor dem ersten Gebrauch erfolgt, dass für einen Schnellstart beim wiederholten Gebrauch Parameterdaten für zweite Bedingungen ermittelt werden und dass die zugehörigen Aufwärmdaten bei aktuellen zweiten Bedingungen rechnerisch oder tabellarisch ermittelt werden.
