    Abstract: A print head servicing unit comprises a cassette which is removably insertable in a hard copy apparatus and comprises some or all of a moveable web of absorbent colour material for receiving waste ink from the print head; a storage compartment for accommodating received waste ink; a cap for the print head; and a filter for filtering air-borne particles in the region of the print head. The path of the web through the cassette is such that a region thereof for receiving spat ink from the print head is arranged downstream of a region thereof for wiping ink from the print head.

    Abstract: Ejected liquid forms a latent image on a charged transfer surface. In some invention aspects electrostatic charge is first applied to the surface; inkjet devices eject the image-forming liquid; voltage is established between the devices and surface; another, separate substance associated with the latent image actuates it. In other aspects hydrophobic or hydrophilic material in the surface stabilizes the image on it; electrostatic apparatus, associated with the surface, cooperates with the stabilizing material, further controlling image-droplet position and size. In other aspects a desired image forms on a final printing medium, based on an input electronic image-data array; the liquid ejection is onto an intermediate transfer surface, based on detailed incremental control by the data, forming a latent image representing the desired image. An actuating substance, initially discrete from the liquid, is associated with the image, and a reaction initiated to modify that substance—which is transferred from surface to final medium.

    Abstract: A carriage-mounted optical sensor for an ink-jet hard copy apparatus includes a unitary light tube member which holds the optical components in fixed positions relative to each other as well as relative to an outer protective casing which attaches to the carriage. The light tube member serves as a cap to capture two LEDs between itself and a protective casing, to capture an optical lens between itself and a photocell holder, and to directly engage the casing. An inner wall having light redirecting features provides an improved light path cylinder and the device obtains a more accurate representation of the test pattern mark shape, reflectance value, and position.

    Abstract: A reciprocating belt drive arrangement for the printhead carriage of a printer comprises an endless belt looped around a toothed drive pulley, which engages a toothed part of the belt, and an idler pulley with circumferential grooves which are arranged to receive ribs on the remaining part of the belt to prevent transverse movements of the belt leading to wear. The ribs and grooves may be interchangeable. In an alternative embodiment the toothed and ribbed parts extend side-by-side along the belt.
