L-COA
High-Speed Performance, from Image Processing to Printer Control
The L-COA image processor, the heart of Canon's large-fo
rmat inkjet printers, processes large-volume image data and compiles printing data*1 to provide optimal control of the printer. L-COA controls the one-inch-wide print heads, which eject ink droplets as small as 4 pl*2 from up to 30,720 nozzles, to enable high-speed,*3 high-resolution large-format printing.
L-L-COA was developed using Canon's System LSI Integrated Design Environment technology.
L-COA integrates onto a single chip functions that had previously been handled by multiple chips, including protocol processing, image processing, and printer control. System processing is also integrated for faster processing, a shorter communication time lag, and greater speed.
