摘要： One aspect of the invention checks mechanical misalignment of plural pens and shifts data to allow for at least part of misalignment—and automatically prints images with the shifted data. If pens are aligned within a dot row then preferably the image prints without data shift. In one other preference, the pens print respective ink types; in this regard a particular preference is that the inks include plural colors, or alternatively plural dilutions. The invention is particularly beneficial in printing on a particular printing medium that is insensitive to relative timing of deposition of ink types; in this case an ideal print medium is plain paper. In some such situations the data shift best compensates for only part of misalignment, and pen-nozzle selections for the rest. In other situations the shifting step best compensates for all the misalignment. In another aspect, the invention extends marking element life and thereby printhead life by distributing usage over a maximum number of elements. This is accomplished by a system that checks misalignment and shifts data, as above. Alternative preferences for finding alignment include data encoded on pens and a reader of the encoded data; or a system that uses the pens to print a test pattern and reads it to find alignment. A hardware aspect of the invention includes parts of a processor programmed to check alignment and print with essentially all nozzles, taking alignment into account.

摘要： A rotary capping system services inkjet printheads in an inkjet printing mechanism. A rotary service station has a tumbler with a dual pivoting link that supports a cap platform. The cap platform is gimbal mounted to the link and spring-biased away from the tumbler. The platform has an extending arm that contacts the printhead carriage to align the cap and printhead. When the printhead is positioned for capping, rotation of the tumbler around an axis parallel to the printhead scanning direction brings the platform arm into contact with the carriage. Continued rotation of the tumbler pivots the link and the platform to sweep the cap through a non-linear, generally arcuate path into a capping position at the printhead. The illustrated cap has a multi-ridge lip for sealing over surface irregularities on the printhead nozzle face. A method of sealing inkjet printhead nozzles is also provided.

摘要： A rotary priming service station system is provided for priming inkjet printheads in an inkjet printing mechanism. A platform pivoted to a rotatable tumbler supports a plunger-actuated rolling diaphragm cap. A trigger mechanism is pivoted to the sled to actuate the cap plunger, which pulls down on the cap to draw a negative priming pressure on the nozzles when the cap is sealed against the printhead. A retractable stand-off finger project through the sled to separate the diaphragm cap from the printhead until the cap begin to draw the negative priming pressure. Through tumbler rotation and printhead motion, the trigger mechanism is cocked and activated. The platform supports a wiper that performs a fast post-prime wipe of the printhead. The tumbler rotates the cap and wiper against a blotting mechanism to blot away any primed ink residue. A method is also provided for priming inkjet printheads in an inkjet printing mechanism.

摘要： A service station for an inkjet printing mechanism has a moveable platform that receives waste ink which is occasionally discharged from an inkjet printhead. The printing mechanism has a drive mechanism which moves the platform between a first position for receiving the purged ink, and a second position for discharging the purged ink. The moveable platform may be configured as a rotating annular wheel, with a scraper positioned adjacent thereto for removing the discharged ink from the wheel. The platform may be provided by an endless belt conveyed over two or more rollers. At least one of the rollers may be located substantially under the printhead, and another roller may be located either near or remote from the printhead. Ink may be discharged from the belt using a scraper, and/or using specially contoured rollers. A method is also provided for cleaning an inkjet pen mounted for use in an inkjet printing mechanism.

摘要： An improved ink-jet printhead cap is described. In its preferred embodiment, the cap has a sealing lip, which extends peripherally around the generally planar expanse of the cap, the lip being suspended by a horizontal, resiliently deflectable, elastomer span that is supported on either end by vertical supports that define a channel dimensioned to receive partway therein the annular boss of a cap mount mounted on a sled. In cross section, the lip is centered above the channel, protrudes upwardly from an upper surface of the horizontal span, and tapers inwardly and upwardly substantially to a point, thus providing a conformable, focal impact point for sealingly engaging a printhead. The amount of force required to deflect the lip may be controlled by varying the thickness of the horizontal span and the distance between vertical supports.

摘要： A collapsible pistol features enhanced safety, ease of use, and improved performance as compared to prior designs. The pistol is easily reconfigured from an open, ready-to-fire position to a closed or collapsed position that makes the pistol quite compact, safe, and readily concealable. The overall design of the pistol is such that the manipulation of the pistol into and out of the open, ready-to-fire position can be accomplished with a user having relatively small hands and/or relatively low grip strength.

摘要： A method of printing includes receiving print data for a swath to be printed. The swath has a matrix of pixels arranged in rows and columns. For a succession of adjacent row segments of the swath, a cumulative total of pixels to be printed is calculated. If the cumulative total exceeds a preselected threshold upon inclusion of row segment, printing is limited to a limited subset of row segments of the swath.

摘要： Throughput of imperfectly aligned plural multinozzle pens is optimized by determining pen-to-pen mechanical misalignment, ascertaining the maximum number of nozzles that can be used while printing with the used nozzles of all pens substantially aligned (and without shift of data), and then automatically printing with that maximum number of nozzles. Preferably if the determining step finds that the pens are aligned within a dot row, all the nozzles can be used and the print step prints with all nozzles. Also preferably the print step includes automatically using a printmode that specifically accommodates the ascertained maximum number of nozzles. It is preferred that each pen have a few hundred nozzles, all the pens be in mechanical alignment within a few nozzle spacings, and the ascertaining step include eliminating from printing use only at most a few nozzles that are outside the mechanical alignment. Preferably thus the eliminated few nozzles, of the few hundred in each pen, most typically amount to roughly one percent of all nozzles; and the maximum possible number eliminated is roughly three percent of all nozzles. In other aspects of the invention, a printer with plural multielement heads, each having multiple marking elements, is improved by reducing average wear and thus extending average useful life of each element. This is accomplished by distributing usage over a maximum number of marking elements.
