Abstract: A printing device comprises a printing fluid supply; a plurality of printheads connected in parallel to the supply by a first flow path and a second flow path; a first fluid pressure source to create a negative fluid pressure between the supply and the first openings; a second fluid pressure source to create a positive fluid pressure between the supply and the second openings; and a controller. Each printhead comprises a closable first opening connected to the first flow path and a closable second opening connected to the second flow path, and has an associated mechanism to increase a fluid pressure in the printhead. Each first opening is to open in response to operation of the associated mechanism. The controller is to identify a first printhead for which printing fluid in the first printhead is to be recirculated; and operate the mechanism associated with the identified printhead.

Abstract: A cleaning module includes an actuator device, a fluid chamber, and a wiper member. The actuator device may enter an activation state based on a movement of at least a portion of the actuator device in response to an engagement with the printhead. The fluid chamber may store and supply fluid to the porous wipe material in response to the activation state of the actuator device. The wiper member may apply pressure to a porous wipe material including the fluid therein to wipe the printhead.

Abstract: In one example, a method for wiping the face of a printhead includes wiping across the face of the printhead and then wiping along the face of the printhead with a web of cleaning material. In another example, a wiper for wiping a face of a printhead includes a rotatable shaft having an axis of rotation and a helical blade affixed to the shaft. The helical blade is simultaneously rotatable on the shaft against the face of the printhead and translatable along the face of the printhead in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A printing apparatus is disclosed. The printing apparatus comprises a rotating housing comprising a wall with an inner side defining a chamber and an outer side. The wall has a bore communicating the inner side and the outer side, and the chamber is to receive a fluid container. The printing apparatus also comprises a fix frame holding the rotating housing. The printing apparatus further comprises an optical sensor comprising an emitter to issue a detecting optical signal through the bore and a receiver to receive a detected optical signal associated to the detecting optical signal. The detected signal is sent to a controller to determine whether the fluid container is present in the rotating housing.

Abstract: A differential pressure sensor is used for measuring or identifying a pressure difference, for example to determine a movement or speed of fluid in a fluid conduit or printer re-circulation conduit. The differential pressure sensor determines the difference between an air pressure and a fluid pressure, wherein the fluid is moving in a flow channel. The flow channel includes a surface conveying a fluid between a first port and second port. An opening in the surface of the flow channel provides a fluid communication between the differential pressure sensor and fluid. Moreover, the sensor is arranged in air communication with the pressure box, such as to allow the differential pressure sensor to identify the pressure difference between the air pressure in the pressure box and the fluid pressure in the flow channel.
