摘要： In a method and system for delivering ink within a printer, a reservoir and a portion of a tube are accelerated so as to generate an inertial flow of ink in the tube, where the tube is connected to the reservoir and in fluid communication with an ink supply. A valve is provided between the tube and the reservoir. The valve is closed to retain an amount of the inertial flow of ink in the reservoir when the inertial flow of ink is away from the reservoir. The tube is primed by moving the printer so as to elevate the ink supply relative to the reservoir in the printer. Foam may be provided within the reservoir which restricts the rate of flow by not allowing ink to be conducted from the reservoir when the foam is unsaturated.

摘要： The present invention relates to Ink Level Detection in a Pressure Regulated Pen. A liquid level detector for a liquid containment device, such as an ink-jet pen, provides a signal indicative of a lowering level of liquid in the containment device. In exemplary embodiments, a refillable or replaceable ink reservoir supplies ink to the printhead of the pen under pressure. Electrical or electromagnetic devices are used individually or in combination with a pressure regulator apparatus to sense a back pressure in the containment device after the reservoir has gone dry to trigger a signal indicating a low or out-of-ink condition.

摘要： A misalignment compensation technique for a dot printer is disclosed. This technique first supplies printing instructions to a printhead for energizing printing elements in various groups (primitives) to print a pattern on a medium. The printed pattern is then detected by optical sensors in the printer. Based on the detection, a position offset error for each primitive is determined. These errors are used to generate a separate time correction for each of the primitives such that, when the printer is used normally, the time period for printing a dot will be advanced or delayed for each primitive so as to align the dots printed by the primitives. In another embodiment, alignment data taken by a manufacturing line sensor is stored in a memory on the print cartridge. After the print cartridge is installed in the printer, a second optical test completes the data needed to create timing correction values.
摘要翻译：公开了一种点打印机的对准补偿技术。该技术首先将打印指令提供给打印头，用于激励各种组（原始图案）中的打印元件以在介质上打印图案。然后通过打印机中的光学传感器检测印刷图案。基于检测，确定每个图元的位置偏移误差。这些错误用于为每个图元生成单独的时间校正，使得当正常使用打印机时，对于每个图元，打印点的时间段将被提前或延迟，以便对准由图元打印的点。在另一个实施例中，由生产线传感器获取的对准数据被存储在打印盒上的存储器中。打印墨盒安装在打印机中后，第二次光学测试完成创建定时校正值所需的数据。

摘要： Automatic print rate-controlling and pen-servicing method and apparatus are described for power management and for determining appropriate servicing intervals for plural-pen ink-jet printers. The preferred method involves counting the number of drops of ink that are fired from each of plural pens in the printer's printhead carriage and optionally calculating the pen firing rate such that printer throughput can be controlled to limit time-averaged power and such that pen servicing frequency can be based upon the need for such servicing. The counts are maintained in memory connected, for example, with the printer's microcontroller, as are parameters that the microcontroller uses to determine appropriate drop count-based print rate controlling or pen servicing that reduce printer throughput only to the extent necessary. Particularly, the pens are serviced when any of the counts is within a predefined finite range of a predefined number or no later than when any of the counts exceeds a corresponding predefined number. The preferred apparatus includes a drop counter, a service station for wiping and spitting plural pens within a printhead carriage and a controller responsive to the drop counter to control the printing rate and to move the printhead carriage into operative association with the service station based upon drop count, firing rate, time-averaged power capability, printhead location and other predetermined criteria.
摘要翻译：描述了用于电源管理和确定多笔喷墨打印机的适当维修间隔的自动打印速率控制和笔维护方法和装置。优选的方法包括对从打印机的打印头托架中的多个笔中的每一个喷射的墨水滴数进行计数，并且可选地计算笔的喷射速率，使得可以控制打印机吞吐量以限制时间平均功率，并且使得笔的服务频率可以基于这种维修的需要。例如，与打印机的微控制器连接的存储器中的计数保持不变，微控制器用于确定适当的基于滴定计数的打印速率控制或笔服务的参数，这些参数仅在必要的程度上降低打印机的吞吐量。特别地，当任何计数在预定义数量的预定义有限范围内时，或者不晚于当任何计数超过对应的预定数量时，笔被服务。优选的装置包括液滴计数器，用于在打印头滑架内擦拭和吐痰多个笔的服务站，以及响应于液滴计数器的控制器以控制打印速率并且基于下降将打印头滑架移动到与服务站操作关联计数，发射率，时间平均功率能力，打印头位置和其他预定标准。

摘要： In the preferred embodiment, an inkjet printer includes a replaceable print cartridge which is inserted into a scanning carriage. The print cartridge contains a regulator valve. An ink tube extends from the scanning carriage to a separate, disposable ink supply cartridge located within the printer. A second valve connected between the ink tube and the ink supply cartridge is automatically actuated when it is determined that the printer is not being used. The valve seal is more reliable than the inexpensive one-way valve seal in the disposable ink supply cartridge. The reliable valve seal prevents any air bubbles in the tube from expanding toward the ink supply cartridge, enabling the use of more flexible tubes which have less stringent air diffusion characteristics. In another embodiment, instead of a valve, a pressure source is connected to the ink tube to maintain the partial air pressure within the tube at approximately ambient pressure.

摘要： To maintain a uniform spacing between the print media, such as paper, and an inkjet printhead having a large print swath, for instance about 25 millimeters (one inch) wide, a new media support system is provided for inkjet printing mechanisms, such as printers or plotters. The support system employs an endless belt driven from the belt interior surface by a roller drive system that uniformly supports the print media under the reciprocating printhead. The belt may be lined with anti-cockle ribs to support the media when saturated. The belt may also be foraminous, with a vacuum applied thereunder to pull the media onto the belt. A method is also provided for supporting and transporting a large sheet of print media through a printzone of an inkjet printing mechanism, such as an inkjet plotter, that uses such a large swath inkjet printhead.
