Print medium having linear data track and contiguously tiled position-coding tags
First Claim
1. A printing system comprising:
- a pagewidth printhead; and
a print medium configured to be printed on by a pagewidth printhead in a print direction, the print medium comprising;
a laminar substrate defining first and second opposite faces;
a data track containing first information encoded in accordance with a linear encoding scheme, the data track extending in a linear read direction across a portion of the first face of the print medium, the read direction being oriented at between 45 and 135 degrees with respect to the print direction; and
a plurality of contiguous tags tiled across the laminar substrate, each of said tags identifying second information and a two-dimensional coordinate position on the laminar substrate, each of said tags being encoded in accordance with a second encoding scheme distinct from the linear encoding scheme,wherein the first information is indicative of the second information.

Abstract
A print medium configured to be printed on by a pagewidth printhead in a print direction. The print medium includes: a laminar substrate defining first and second opposite faces; a data track containing first information encoded in accordance with a linear encoding scheme, the data track extending in a linear read direction across a portion of the first face of the print medium, the read direction being oriented at between 45 and 135 degrees with respect to the print direction; and a plurality of contiguous tags tiled across the laminar substrate. Each of the tags identifies second information and a two-dimensional coordinate position on the laminar substrate. Each of the tags is encoded in accordance with a second encoding scheme distinct from the linear encoding scheme. The information is indicative of the second information.
