    摘要: In the representative hot melt ink supply system described in the specification, a first hot melt ink supply reservoir maintains ink in molten condition during operation of the system and a second reservoir mounted with an ink jet head on a movable carriage communicates with the first reservoir through a flexible supply line. The ink in the supply line is normally kept in solid condition and, when a reduced level of ink is detected in the second reservoir, the supply line is heated to melt the ink in the line and a pump is actuated to transfer ink from the first reservoir to the second reservoir. To permit use of pigmented inks, each of the reservoirs is heated to provide a thermal gradient therein so as to maintain convective circulation of the ink. An ink circulation path is provided to cause convective circulation of pigmented ink in the ink jet head.

    摘要: In the particular embodiment of an ink deaerator described in the specification, an elongated ink path leading to an ink jet head is formed between two permeable membranes. The membranes are backed by air plenums which contain support members to hold the membranes in position. Reduced pressure is applied to the plenums to extract dissolved air from the ink in the ink path. Increased pressure can also be applied to the plenums to eject ink from the ink jet head for purging. Within the ink jet head ink is circulated convectively from the orifice to the deaerating path even when the jet is not jetting ink.

    摘要: In the particular embodiments described in the specification, a hot melt ink jet system includes a temperature-controlled platen provided with a heater and with a thermoelectric cooler electrically connected to a heat pump, and a temperature control unit for controlling the operation of the heater and the heat pump to maintain a substrate on the platen which receives the ink at a temperature which provides a desired spot size without causing print-through. In certain embodiments, the substrate temperature is from about 20.degree. C. above to about 20.degree. C. below the melting point of the ink and is determined by subtracting half the difference between the jetting temperature and the temperature at which the ink has a viscosity of about 200-300 cp from the latter temperature. The apparatus also includes a second thermoelectric cooler to solidify hot melt ink in a selected zone more rapidly to avoid offset by a pinch roll coming in contact with the surface of the substrate to which hot melt ink has been applied. An airtight enclosure surrounding the platen is connected to a vacuum pump and has slits adjacent to the platen to hold the substrate in thermal contact with the platen.

    摘要: A document printer includes sheet-feeding apparatus for sequentially presenting both faces of a print-receiving sheet to a print station. According to a preferred embodiment, such apparatus features, as part of the duplex sheet path, reversible sheet-feeding means operable in first or second active modes for selectively feeding sheets into and out of a chute, located upstream from the feeding means, to reverse the sheet's lead edge/trail edge orientation. Such sheet-feeding means is also operable in a passive mode in which it allows sheets to advance, without substantial interference, downstream therepast to a registration position. Control means are provided for switching the feeding means from one of its active modes to its passive mode after a sheet has been advanced into the reversing chute to the extent that the sheet buckles, whereupon the restoring force in the sheet propels the leading edge of the sheet past the feed means and into engagement with a registration gate located at the registration position.

    摘要: In a document handling system in which an apertured vacuum belt transports the documents to the imaging station of a copier and provides a light reflective background surface, the belt vacuum apertures are only within discrete limited areas of the belt and have a convoluted surface which holds the document spaced from the vacuum apertures and provides low impedance air flow under the document from the apertures, said areas being substantially enclosed by narrow border areas of unapertured and non-imageable pneumatic weirs at positions corresponding to the edges of conventional sizes of documents, which weirs are finely convoluted to have a much higher air flow impedance.
