METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY OF INK DROPS IN AN INK JET PRINTER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A servo system for adjusting the velocity of ink drops in a magnetic ink jet printer has a coarse control loop for making coarse increment adjustments to the pump which supplies ink under pressure to a nozzle and a fine control loop for making fine increment adjustments to the pressure of said pump. The velocity of the drops is determined by a pair of drop sensors located one drop wavelength apart at a fixed distance from the drop generation point. The direc- tion of any phase error between pairs of drops is used to generate direction control signals applied to the coarse control loop until a reversal in phase error occurs. A toggle control allows the coarse control loop to make coarse adjustments in pump pressure around a null point velocity before switching direction control signals to the fine control loop.
