Abstract: A print head unit has an elongate print head integrated circuit. An ink supply unit defines an elongate print head slot in which the print head integrated circuit is received. Ink supply vias supply ink to the print head slot. Longitudinally extending channels are in fluid communication with the print head integrated circuit through the vias and longitudinally extending aperture slots provide for the snap-in insertion of rollers for the transport of print media operatively with respect to the print head integrated circuit during printing.

Abstract: For automatically transmitting an image file, a system transmits the file automatically through specifically specifying information for file transmission such as an address of a destination. The system includes a memory for storing a data file and an automatic transmission control file for briefly describing information of a file name of the file to be transmitted and a destination address, and a communication unit for transmitting the data file according to the automatic transmission control file. Therefore, the system can transmit the data file automatically only by having a memory storing the data file and automatic transmission control file connected to the communication unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ink ejection integrated circuit (IC) for a printhead. The IC includes rows of elongate nozzle arrangements. Each nozzle arrangement defines an ink ejection port at one end and has an internal cantilevered actuator anchored at the other end so that the actuator can move to eject ink out though the ink ejection port. The rows are arranged in pairs with the ports of one of the rows being proximally located to the ports of the other row, for each pair.

Abstract: A printhead comprises a substrate defining a plurality of ink inlet channels; a drive circuitry layer positioned on the substrate; and a plurality of nozzle arrangements positioned on the substrate. Each nozzle arrangement comprises a wall portion bounding a respective ink inlet channel, a crown portion defining an outlet through which ink can be ejected, and a skirt portion depending from the crown portion, the crown, skirt and wall portions defining a nozzle chamber in fluid communication with the respective ink inlet channel and the outlet. The printhead further comprises an elongate actuator provided within the nozzle chamber and connected to the crown portion at one end and anchored to the substrate at an opposite end; and conductive pads provided at an anchor point of the elongate actuator with the substrate, the conductive pads being provided between the elongate actuator and the substrate. The elongate actuator receives electrical signals from the drive circuitry via the conductive pads, and upon receipt of electrical signals from the drive circuitry, the actuator is operable to displace towards and away from the substrate such that the crown and ink outlet is also displaced towards and away from the substrate, whereby ink is ejected from the outlet.
