    摘要: A system facilitates transport of solid ink by a motorized feed drive through a feed channel in a solid ink printer. The system includes a feed channel, a motorized feed drive in at least a portion of the feed channel, a meltable ink body having a drive coupler that is offset from a surface of the meltable ink body, the drive coupler having an opening to receive a portion of the motorized feed drive to enable the motorized feed drive to urge the meltable ink body, along the feed channel.

    摘要: A solid ink delivery system for use with a ink stick for use in printers is provided. The stick has an external periphery including opposed surfaces of the stick. The solid ink delivery system delivers the stick to a melting unit for melting the stick so that the ink may be transferred to media to form an image on the media. The delivery system includes a guide for guiding the stick in a prescribed path. The guide defines a loading position to permit the stick to be placed in the guide and a delivery position adjacent the melting unit. The guide at the loading position defines constraints for positioning the stick. A portion of the constraints, including a shaped insertion opening, is adapted for cooperation with the opposed surfaces of the external periphery of the stick. At least one of the constraints defining a grasping recess in the constraint for providing access to a portion of at least one of the opposed surfaces of the external periphery of the stick.

    摘要: A solid ink loading system for a phase change ink imaging device includes an ink loader having a first end, a second end, and at least one feed channel extending between the first and the second end. The at least one feed channel includes an insertion region intermediate the first and the second end where ink sticks enter the at least one feed channel. The at least one feed channel is configured to guide ink sticks in a feed direction from the insertion region toward the second end. An ink stick retractor is configured for movement between a forward position and a rearward position substantially parallel to at least a portion of the at least one feed channel. The forward position is closer to the second end of the feed channel than the first position. The ink stick retractor is configured to selectively move ink sticks in the at least one feed channel in a retraction direction toward the first end.
