    摘要: An ink container for holding a supply of liquid ink for use in an inkjet printing system. The container includes a collapsible ink reservoir for holding a supply of liquid ink, and a multiple functioned chassis. The chassis rigidly supports an air inlet for receiving pressurized air from the printing system and an ink outlet for delivering pressurized ink to the system. The chassis supports a collapsible ink container by providing an attach surface over which the collapsible container is attached. The attach surface allows a relatively simple pleated bag construction to be used by providing a surface whose normal is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container. The chassis is adapted to engage with a pressure vessel opening, providing a seal that separates the pressure vessel from an outside atmosphere. The chassis provides a surface for outside electrical contacts along with locating means for a mating electrical connector, and provides pathways for them to be routed into the pressure vessel region. An efficient method of assembly of an ink container is described.

    摘要: A replaceable ink container for use in an off-axis printing system. The printing system includes a printer portion responsive to electrical signals from the replaceable ink container for controlling printer parameters. The replaceable ink container comprises a plurality of electrical contacts with each of the plurality of electrical contacts electrically connected with a memory element. The memory element stores information for controlling printing system parameters. The replaceable ink container also includes a protruding guide feature disposed proximate the plurality of electrical contacts. The protruding guide feature is configured for engagement with a corresponding guide feature associated with the printing system. With proper insertion of the ink container into the printing system, the guide feature engages the corresponding guide feature to align electrical contacts associated with the printing system with the plurality of electrical contacts associated with the ink container. Electrical connection of the plurality of electrical contacts associated with the ink container with the electrical contacts associated with the printing system provides information for controlling printer parameters to the printer portion.

    摘要: The present invention is a replaceable ink container for use in a printing system. The printing system is of the type having a printhead mounted in a scanning carriage and a supply station for receiving the replaceable ink container. The supply station is in fluid communication with the printhead. The replaceable ink container includes a fluid outlet configured for engaging corresponding fluid inlet portions on the supply station. Also included is a first and second guide feature disposed on an outer surface of the replaceable ink container. The first and second guide features'are disposed and arranged to engage corresponding first and second guiding features disposed on opposite ends of the supply station to guide the replaceable ink container into the supply station to fluidically couple the fluid outlet and corresponding fluid inlet.
