The data pump includes multiple state machines to receive image data from an image buffer on a computer, and a serializer to gather image data from each of the state machines. Each of the state machines is configured to send image data to the serializer at a different instance in time. The serializer is configured to arrange the gathered image data according to when the serializer received the image data from each of the state machines. The data pump also includes an optical fiber communication interface to connect with a communication channel.

摘要： A method for cleaning a nozzle plate includes applying a first solution to a surface of the nozzle plate, and applying a second solution different from the first solution to the surface of nozzle plate to remove the first solution from the surface of nozzle plate. The first solution wets the nozzle plate and is a solvent to dried ink deposited on the surface of the nozzle plate. The surface of the nozzle plate is non-wetting to the second solution.

摘要： A method for causing ink to be ejected from an ink chamber of an ink jet printer includes causing a first bolus of ink to be extruded from the ink chamber; and following lapse of a selected interval, causing a second bolus of ink to be extruded from the ink chamber. The interval is selected to be greater than the reciprocal of the fundamental resonant frequency of the chamber, and such that the first bolus remains in contact with ink in the ink chamber at the time that the second bolus is extruded.

摘要： Techniques, systems, and computer program products for transmitting data between a computer system and an external printing device. A technique may include generating a data packet in accordance with a communications protocol such that generating the data packet includes encoding the data packet according to a second layer of the protocol in a frame format according to a third layer of the protocol, transmitting the data packet from the computer system to the external printing device according to the first layer of the protocol; and decoding the data packet in accordance with the second layer of the protocol. The protocol can be defined to include three layers. In that protocol, a first layer may define transmission line, transmitters, and receivers for transmission, the second layer may define encoding and decoding, and the third layer may define a frame format of the data packet.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for printing are described. A first mode of printing includes actuating a set of two or more actuators configured to drive printing fluid ejection from a corresponding set of two or more nozzles. In response to a drive signal, each actuator pressurizes a corresponding pumping chamber and ejects a printing fluid from a nozzle in fluid communication with the pumping chamber. The printing fluid ejected from the set of two or more nozzles represents a single pixel of an image being printed. A second mode of printing is in response to determining that a nozzle in the set of nozzles is operating defectively, and includes adjusting the one or more drive signals to the one or more remaining nozzles in the set such that the volume of printing fluid ejected from the remaining nozzles compensates for a lack of printing fluid ejected from the defective nozzle.
