Abstract: A thermal ink jet printhead cartridge priming apparatus that includes a plurality of caps respectively associated with a plurality of printhead nozzle arrays for controllably sealing printhead nozzle arrays pursuant to engagement thereof against the printhead cartridge to surround the nozzle arrays, a plurality of vacuum conveying elements respectively associated with the caps for individually conveying priming vacuum to an associated cap, a manually actuated selector assembly for connecting a selected one of the vacuum conveying elements to a source of priming vacuum, and a source of priming vacuum spaced apart from the manually actuated selection means for selectively engaging the selector assembly for application of vacuum thereto, such that a selected printhead cartridge is primed without removal thereof from the carriage and without use of a motorized vacuum pump. By separating the vacuum source from the selector, positive pressure is not applied to the nozzle arrays when the caps are brought into engagement with the printhead cartridges since venting is provided by the unobstructed vacuum conveying elements.

Abstract: Ink jet printhead primer apparatus including a resilient bellows having an upper end cap, a lower end cap, a capper having an opening supported by the upper end cap selective sealing engagement with a nozzle array of a printhead so that negative pressure produced in the opening of the upper end cap is communicated to the nozzles of the nozzle array, or with a conduit structure connected to the nozzles of the nozzle array. Displacement of the lower end cap is controlled by cam surfaces formed on the inner opposing surfaces of parallel plate-like gear sectors of a rotatable cam assembly having gear teeth that drive a flywheel. Cam edges on the gear sectors move a sliding cam member that moves the upper end cap between a retracted position and an extended position. Pursuant to rotation of the cam assembly in one direction and then in the opposite direction, negative pressure is produced at the capper opening as it is engaged with the nozzle array of the cartridge to be primed or with the conduit structure connected to the nozzle array, ink suctioning negative pressure is produced, and the capper is disengaged from the nozzle array or the conduit structure while negative pressure continues to be maintained at the opening of the capper.

Abstract: Apparatus for protecting optical elements of an optical ink drop detector that detects the presence of an ink drop in a drop detection zone, and for maintaining an aperture plate used in conjunction with the ink drop detector. The apparatus includes a movable plate having an apertured region and a non-apertured region. The plate is movable relative to the optical elements of the drop detector and is configured to have the aperture region adjacent a drop detection zone of the optical ink drop detector when in a first position and to have the non-apertured region adjacent the detection zone when in a second position. Cleaning brushes are provided for cleaning ink from the aperture region of the movable plate when the plate is moved between the first and second positions, and an enclosure is provided for enclosing the aperture region of the plate when said plate is in the second position. Thus, when the plate is in the second position, the optical elements of the optical drop detector are covered by the non-aperture region of the plate, while the apertured region of the plate is protectively contained in the enclosure.
