In a printer that allows dual-way printing, a test pattern is formed to adjust the print timing with a high accuracy, or more concretely to eliminate a deviation of dots created in the course of a main scan in a backward direction from dots created in the course of the main scan in a forward direction. The test pattern is based on a normal dither matrix. The test pattern includes a plurality of do...

A method of broadcasting controlling data streams and remote receiving apparatus for using the same are disclosed. A viewer-channel-to-broadcast channel (VCBC) map is employed to map one or more controlling data streams to one or more channels. The VCBC map is stored in memory. When a user tunes to a channel, the VCBC map is checked to determine if a controlling data stream is associated with the ...
