Abstract

A method and apparatus for an ink jet printer system (10) for efficiently and economically printing magnetic image character recognition images is disclosed. The ink jet printer system includes a movable carriage (14) and an ink jet print head (12) disposed on the carriage and having a piezoelectric element adapted to jet magnetic ink onto a recording medium. The magnetic ink preferably has a viscosity of more than 4 centipoise, and more preferably at least 8 centipoise. Additionally, a computer (30) may be in communication with the carriage for performing a printer monitor function. The method for performing such function includes monitoring the movement of the carriage and initiating a predetermined carriage movement after sensing a predetermined idle time from the carriage.
