摘要： An ink jet printer has a temperature sensor as a permanent part thereof. The temperature sensor is mounted on the translatable carriage of the printer. A replaceable printhead cartridge having a printhead bonded to a heat sink is installed on the translatable carriage. Once the printhead cartridge is installed on the translatable carriage, the temperature sensor is placed into intimate contact with printhead'heat sink, so that the temperature sensor moves with the printhead and provides continual temperature measurement.

摘要： An ink jet printer has a temperature sensor as a permanent part thereof to measure the temperature of printheads which are an integral part of a replaceable printhead cartridge assembly. The temperature sensor is a part of the maintenance station and senses the temperature of the printheads each time the printhead enters the maintenance station. In the preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor is spring-loaded and is located at a printhead spitting location between fixed wiper blades and the capping location in the maintenance station, so that temperature is sensed each time the printhead enters and leaves the maintenance station to eject nozzle cleaning droplets onto a collection surface at the spitting location to clean the printhead nozzle face by the wiper blades, or to cap the printhead nozzles. To facilitate good thermal contact, a recess is provided in the heat sink upon which the printhead resides for entry by the spring-loaded temperature sensor.

摘要： A thermal ink jet printer is disclosed which has a printhead that is maintained at a substantially constant operating temperature during printing. Printing on demand is accomplished by the ejection of ink droplets from the printhead nozzles in response to energy pulses selectively applied to heating elements located in ink channels upstream from the nozzles which pulses vaporize the ink to form temporary bubbles. To prevent printhead temperature fluctuations during printing, especially in translatable carriage printers, the heating elements not being used to eject droplets are selectively energized with energy pulses having insufficient magnitude to vaporize the ink.

摘要： A printing machine of the type in which liquid ink is deposited on a recording medium for printing gray scale images. The printing machine includes a printhead having ink ejecting nozzles of different sizes. Nozzles of the same size are arranged in groups and groups of nozzles are offset from one another. Ink drops of one group are deposited at locations corresponding to the points of a grid and ink drops of another group are deposited at locations corresponding to points not on the grid. Gray scale printing is achieved by the variation in drop size produced by different groups of nozzles as well as offsetting nozzles of one or more groups of nozzles from a reference group of nozzles printing on the points of a grid.

摘要： The invention discloses a system and method for sensing changes in the weight of an ink reservoir which supplies ink to a printhead which ejects ink onto a recording medium during a printer operational mode. The ink reservoir, whether located separately from the printhead, as in a plotter or pagewidth printer embodiment, or mechanically attached to the printhead and moved in a scanning printhead architecture, has its weight supported by a structure. A strain gage or other weight sensor is affixed to the supporting structure and incorporated in a circuit which produces an output signal representative of resistive changes in the weight sensor. Since a resistive change in the weight sensor is caused by a decrease in the supply of ink in the reservoir during continued printer operation, the output signal is proportional to the ink level. The output signal is digitized and sent to a system controller where it is compared to a predetermined reference level and a low level output signal is generated for use as a warning to a operator or user. In one embodiment, the strain gage is a leg of a resistor in a bridge circuit and provides continuous ink level readout. In another embodiment, multiple warning levels are enabled by inserting the resistor in a circuit where comparators compare the resistance of the strain gage to reference resistance levels.
摘要翻译：本发明公开了一种用于感测墨水储存器的重量变化的系统和方法，该墨水储存器向在打印机操作模式期间将墨水喷射到记录介质上的打印头提供墨水。油墨储存器，无论是与打印头分开设置，如在绘图机或页宽打印机实施例中，或机械地附接到打印头并以扫描打印头架构移动，其重量由结构支撑。应变计或其他重量传感器固定到支撑结构上并且包括在产生表示重量传感器中的电阻变化的输出信号的电路中。由于重量传感器中的电阻变化是由连续打印机操作期间储存器中墨水供应的减少引起的，所以输出信号与油墨水平成正比。输出信号被数字化并发送到系统控制器，在那里将其与预定参考电平进行比较，生成低电平输出信号以用作对操作者或用户的警告。在一个实施例中，应变片是桥接电路中的电阻器的腿，并且提供连续的墨水量读出。在另一个实施例中，通过将电阻器插入电路中来实现多个警告电平，其中比较器将应变计的电阻与参考电阻电平进行比较。

摘要： A capacitor is created in an ink tank supplying ink to an ink jet printhead by placing parallel capacitive plates on sides of the tank with the ink therebetween acting as the capacitor dielectric. An electrical AC potential is applied across the capacitor. Changes in current flow through the plates are detected in a phase sensitive bridge circuit and digital signals are generated and sent to a processor for conversion into low ink level signals. The output signal is also used to identify a particular type of ink by either comparing points on a characteristic curve of the ink volume verses capacitance or, in a second embodiment, by periodically sweeping an applied oscillator voltage over a selected frequency range and comparing measured electrical resonance parameters for the ink tank capacitor with stored information about resonance parameters for different types of ink.

摘要： A printhead uses large and small drop ejectors to achieve efficient gray scale printing. The printhead is arranged with a close packed configuration of alternating large and small nozzles positioned to maximize coverage while minimizing the volume of ejected ink. The printhead may be operated in a single pass mode or dual pass mode. In the single pass mode, complete coverage is effected by rippling through the odd numbered jets first and then rippling through the even numbered jets. The position of the small spots from the even numbered jets can be adjusted to maximize coverage and counteract offset between nozzle centers. Printheads with different size nozzles can also be operated by a staggered firing method using dual passes to offset spots in the scan direction by shifting the printhead between passes or alternating between groups of large and small nozzles. Further improvements to image quality can be realized by shifting the spots in the direction perpendicular to the scanning direction by tilting the printhead or offsetting the nozzles with respect to the ink channels on the printhead.

摘要： The new heater element design has a pit layer which protects the overglaze passivation layer, PSG step region, portions of the Ta layer and dielectric isolation layer and junctions or regions susceptible to the cavitational pressures. Further, the inner walls of the pit layer define the effective heater area and the dopant lines define the actual heater area. In alternative embodiments, the dopant lines define the actual and effective heater areas, and an inner wall and a dopant line define the actual and effective heater areas. Further, when the new heater element designs are incorporated into printheads having full pit channel geometry and open pit channel geometry, the operating lifetime of the printhead is extended because the added protection of the pit layer prevents: 1) passivation damage and cavitational damages of the heater elements; and 2) degradation of heater robustness, hot spot formations and heater failures well into the 109 pulse range. The printhead incorporating the new heater element design can be incorporated into drop-on-demand printing systems of a carriage type or a full width type.
