    摘要: A replaceable inkjet printhead cleaner service station system has separate replaceable cleaning units for each printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism, which has a pallet that moves the cleaning units translationally to service the printheads. Each cleaning unit has a printhead wiper, a printhead snout wiper, a capping system, a spittoon, and an ink solvent application system, all supported by a base. The snout wiper cleans ink residue from a non-ink-ejecting snout portion of an inkjet printhead cartridge installed in the printing mechanism. The snout wiper is supported by the base for movement between a rest position and a wiping position to wipe ink residue from the cartridge snout portion through motion of the cartridge while the base remains stationary at the wiping position. A method is provided for cleaning an inkjet printhead, along with an inkjet printing mechanism employing such a snout wiping system.

    摘要: Electrical operation signals such are transferred between a printer carriage interconnect circuit and a printhead interconnect circuit through conductive pads, some of which are elongated sufficiently to provide multiple conductive contact points. Positioning the elongated pads at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of an interconnect flex circuit results in a compact flex circuit having voltage, ground and control signal pads.

    摘要: An ink jet carriage assembly for an off-axis ink delivery ink jet printer including a movable print carriage; a plurality of ink jet printhead cartridges removably supported by the movable print carriage having cartridge septums for accepting respective ink delivery needles; a humidor structure located adjacent the cartridge septums for collecting ink from ink delivery needles when air is purged from ink delivery tubes connected to the ink delivery needles, and for containing or enclosing the ink delivery needles to prevent ink evaporation from the ink delivery tubes. A dummy cartridge collects ink from an ink delivery connector when air is purged from an ink delivery tube connected to the ink delivery connector.

    摘要: A replaceable inkjet printhead cleaner service station system has separate replaceable cleaning units for maintaining each printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism. Each cleaning unit has a printhead wiper, a printhead snout wiper, a capping system, a spittoon, and an ink solvent application system. A set of non-replaceable wiper scrapers are supported by the service station frame. When printing with interchangeable printheads that dispense mutually incompatible inks the cleaning units are exchanged when installing a printhead with an ink which is incompatible with the ink dispensed by a previous printhead to avoid cross-contamination if the inks at the wipers and caps. To prevent cross-contamination at the permanent scrapers, the scraper for each pen is divided into two separate regions each dedicated to cleaning only one wiper associated with one type of ink. A method is provided for cleaning an inkjet printhead, along with a printing mechanism employing such a system.

    摘要: A technique for servicing an inkjet printhead on an inkjet printer including a first service module. The technique includes identifying a printhead-related service condition not adequately addressed by servicing the printer with the first service module, providing a second service module different from the first service module and adapted to address the printhead-related service condition. A set of instructions can be provided for using the second service module with the inkjet printer. The technique can further include removing the first service module from the printer, installing the second service module in the printer, and using the set of instructions, conducting a special printer servicing operation. After completion of the special printer servicing operation, the second service module can be removed from the printer, and the first service module reinstalled in the printer in place of the second service module.
