摘要:
An ink jet printer having an expandable ink container biased to expand and configured to receive refill ink and an ink reservoir to provide refill ink to the expandable ink container. The printer also has an electronic volume detector to detect a refill value and a full value of the volume of the expandable ink container. The flow of refill ink begins when the volume of the expandable ink container decreases to the refill value and ceases when the volume of the expandable ink container increases to the full value.

Communications cable is routed within horizontal pathways between the structural ceiling and drop ceiling to a fire-resistant cabinet mounted between the ceilings. Communication cable switching and termination equipment is carried by the cabinet for providing a consolidation point and cross-connect location for both copper wire and optical fiber cables serving work stations within an open office architecture. The cabinet includes an access door opening into a room below the drop ceiling for providing user access to the equipment. The door lies within the drop ceiling plane when in the closed position. A removable equipment mounting plate is carried by the cabinet for lowering the equipment below the drop ceiling when the door is in the open position. Cabinet fire-resistant side wall penetrations permits the communications cable routed between the ceilings to enter and exit the cabinet for connection with the communications cable switching and termination equipment. With the use of the cabinet, the amount of communication cable required to service work stations in an open office architecture is greatly reduced.

An ink jet printer cartridge includes a memory storage element mounted on a side surface thereof. The memory storage element stores information about ink expelled from the cartridge. The information is routed from the memory storage element to an external device, and the user may be warned when cartridge replacement is advisable.

A zone cabling termination cabinet of fire-resistant metal, provides a non-plenum enclosed space, close to the work station it serves, recessed into the plenum above a suspended ceiling, for housing communications cable connections and switching, without the need to use high-cost plenum fire-rated materials. The cabinet has an equipment mounting plate removably mounted on the interior surface of an access door, which when closed is flush with the bottom wall of the cabinet, which in turn is flush with the suspended false ceiling. The exposed lower surface of the door is clad with fire resistant ceiling tile material, the utility thereof being two-fold: the cladding makes the cabinet more fire resistant, and visually it blends with the rest of the ceiling, is inconspicuous and not readily detected by the unsuspecting eye, thus providing some measure of security from unauthorized meddling. The equipment mounting plate is easily removed from the door for making necessary cabling and switching changes at a remote workbench or table top. Cables enter and exit the cabinet through fire-rated penetrations in opposing side walls of the cabinet. The cabinet facilitates the decentralization of cable terminations and switching for location in secure user-defined zones of a building close to the work stations served thereby, thus eliminating the need for large, centralized and insecure IDFs.

A service station for an ink jet printer is provided with a base station and a sliding sled having both wipers and caps mounted thereon. Power for sled motion during wiping and capping is provided by the movement of the print carriage of the ink jet printer. Sled motion is guided by pins on the sled which engage slots on the base station. A plank holds the sled in a temporarily stationary position during wiping.

An ink jet printer having an inking system that includes an ink jet cartridge, a large ink reservoir mounted inside the housing of the ink jet printer at a location which is remote from the ink jet cartridge and tubing connecting the ink reservoir to the ink jet cartridge. The large ink reservoirs may be pancake shaped, and may be stacked in side by side horizontal manner within the housing. A portion of the reservoir is transparent, and is visible to the operator for operator monitoring of ink level through openings in the printer housing placed in juxtaposition with the transparent portion of the large ink reservoirs.

A method of making and using a printer comprising a duplexing unit that pivots along a horizontal plane for media path access. The duplexing unit does not contain any motor driven rollers for moving a media sheet therethrough. The duplexing unit's vertical axis hinge allows the duplexing unit to swing open and closed horizontally.
