摘要： The invention described in the specification relates to an ink jet printer with multiple print heads that allows for the less restrictive installation of print head cartridges. The print head carriers are designed so that any of a variety of different types of print head cartridges can be inserted into any of the print head carriers. When image data is received, the ink jet printer's processor determines the appropriate type of print head cartridge that should be used to print the image data. Information electronically stored on the print head cartridges in the form of a read-only memory (ROM), bar code, or optical LED's, identifies the type of each print head cartridge. The printer processor examines this identification information on the installed print head cartridges to determine if one of the print head carriers contains the desired type of print head cartridge. If the desired type of print head cartridge is located, the printer processor configures the printer itself to print with the desired cartridge in the particular print head carrier location in which the desired cartridge was found. If the printer cannot locate the desired type of print head cartridge in any of the multiple print head carriers, a error message is displayed informing the user that the proper print head cartridge is not installed.

摘要： A method of printing a print image on a print medium using a printer includes providing a text printing mode, wherein a first predetermined number of bits identify a selected character to be printed. A host based printing mode is provided wherein selected bits each indicate whether a corresponding pixel should be printed. The printer is initialized to print in either one of the text printing mode and the host based printing mode. A second predetermined number of bits of a data stream associated with the print image to be printed are received within the printer. The second predetermined number of bits is examined to determine a presence of a command therein. The printer is enabled to print in an enabled printing mode. The enabled printing mode includes either the text printing mode or the host based printing mode, dependent upon the examination of the second predetermined number of bits. The printer is used to print on the print medium in the enabled printing mode.

摘要： A maintenance station for maintaining either a monochrome or a multi-color printhead in an ink-jet printer includes a single flexible wiper having a first wiping edge for wiping the ink-jet nozzle surface of a monochrome printhead and a plurality of second wiping edges for wiping the ink-jet nozzle surface of a multi-color printhead. Wiping of a monochrome printhead is accomplished by moving the printhead to one side of the wiper, raising the wiper into the path of travel of the nozzle surface, and moving the printhead past the wiper. Wiping of a multi-color printhead is accomplished in a similar manner but the printhead is first positioned on the opposite side of the wiper. The flexibility of the wiper is chosen to apply an optimum wiping force to a multi-color printhead as the printhead is moved past the wiper. A backstop is provided at one side of the wiper to brace it against deflection, so that the wiper applies a greater wiping force to a monochrome printhead than it does to a multi-color printhead. A microprocessor based controller senses the type of printhead and executes a first or a second maintenance routine depending on the type of printhead that is present in the printer.
摘要翻译：用于在喷墨打印机中维持单色或多色打印头的维护站包括具有用于擦拭单色打印头的喷墨喷嘴表面的第一擦拭边缘和多个第二擦拭边缘的单个柔性刮水器，擦拭多色打印头的喷墨喷嘴表面。单色打印头的擦拭是通过将打印头移动到擦拭器的一侧来实现的，其将擦拭器提升到喷嘴表面的行进路径中，并且将打印头移动通过擦拭器。以类似的方式实现多色打印头的擦拭，但是打印头首先位于擦拭器的相对侧上。选择刮水器的灵活性，以便当打印头移动通过刮水器时，将优化的擦拭力施加到多色打印头。在刮水器的一侧设置有止动器以支撑其抵抗偏转，使得刮水器对单色打印头施加比对多色打印头更大的擦拭力。基于微处理器的控制器感测打印头的类型，并根据存在于打印机中的打印头的类型执行第一或第二维护程序。

摘要： A maintenance station for an ink jet printer comprises two modules supported from the printer middle frame by a tongue and groove arrangement and secured in place only by retaining elements integrally formed with the middle frame. The first module includes a wiper element and a cap to provide an air seal around the nozzles. The wiper and cap are mounted on a pivoted rocker element so that as the wiper is moved toward the printhead the cap is moved away therefrom and visa-versa. The second module carries a small DC motor, a nut with a pair of forked arms, and gearing for converting bidirectional rotation of the motor into linear reciprocal motion of the forked arms. The forked arms engage projections on the rocker element so that the wiper or cap is moved toward or away from the printhead depending on the direction of rotation of the motor. In a first position of the rocker element the wiper is positioned in the path of the printhead so as to wipe the nozzles as the printhead is moved back and forth. In a second position the cap presses against the printhead to form an air seal around the nozzles. In a third position the wiper and cap are both spaced away from the path of the printhead and below the plane of the record feed path. The printer controller senses motor current and controls positioning of the rocker element without the need for a position feedback encoder.

摘要： An ink-jet printer is provided with a printhead maintenance system which is capable of providing optimum maintenance for different types of color or monochrome printheads. Dummy heaters are provided in each printhead as a way of identifying the different types of printheads. A maintenance controller is provided in the printer for executing a maintenance program comprising first and second maintenance algorithms for controlling maintenance of monochrome and color type printheads. The controller includes an E.sup.2 PROM memory into which descriptor records are downloaded from a data processor to which the printer is connected. Each descriptor record contains a head detection pattern and various parameters specifying the number and time of wipes, the number of nozzle fires, etc. necessary to maintain a head of the type corresponding to the head detection pattern. When the printer is turned on, or a new printhead is installed, the pattern of heaters is sensed, compared to the head detection patterns in the descriptor records, and the parameters in the descriptor record having a head detection pattern best matching the sensed pattern of heaters are used in executing the maintenance program. The memory may be updated with new descriptor records thereby permitting proper maintenance of printheads developed subsequent to the design of the maintenance system.
