    摘要: Resting position error recognition for an ink-jet, translational-type, service station mechanism. Service station drive mechanism binding due to hard stop impact is compensated for by calculating a difference between when the drive mechanism stops and when a predetermined velocity change was first recorded. In a more sophisticated embodiment, noise filtering is employed to improve accuracy with increasing number of uses of the service station mechanism.

    摘要: An adaptive wiping method of cleaning an inkjet printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism cleans two or more diverse printheads that have different wiping needs, such as those dispensing different types of ink. Each printhead has an associated wiper that is mounted on a single service station sled for relative movement with respect to the printheads to achieve wiping contact. By offsetting the wipers, during one portion of the wiping stroke, at least one of the printheads may be wiped while at least one other printhead is not being wiped. This adaptive wiping system allows the printheads to be individually wiped at different speeds, which allows the system to be tailored to meet the diverse servicing needs of different inkjet cartridges, for instance, those containing different ink formulations.

    摘要: A skip stroke wiping method of cleaning an inkjet printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism cleans a printhead that has an orifice plate, and first and second outboard regions located along two opposing sides of the orifice plate. In a bidirectional wiping routine, the ink residue is first wiped in a first direction from the orifice plate onto the first outboard region without touching the second outboard region. In a second wiping step, ink residue is wiped in a second direction opposite to the first direction from the orifice plate onto the second outboard region without touching the first outboard region. Thus, regions of the printhead having ink residue are skipped over in the wiping strokes to avoid contaminating the nozzles with previously wiped residue.

    摘要: One aspect of this disclosure relates to a printer apparatus, comprising an orifice plate having a nozzle orifice formed therein. Ink can flow through the nozzle orifice. The orifice plate has an orifice plate surface energy and the ink has an ink surface tension. A wiper blade can be disposed proximate the orifice plate. The wiper has a wiper blade surface energy. The wiper blade surface energy is greater than or equal to the ink surface tension. The ink surface tension is greater than or equal to the orifice plate surface energy.

    摘要: A printhead wiper for ink-jet printers molded from an elastomer and including a wiping beam having a wiping edge formed at one end of the beam. The other end of the beam is integral with a base. A hole through the beam near the base decreases beam stiffness. A higher durometer elastomer may thus be used without applying excessive wiping force to the printhead. In another embodiment the wiper includes a pair of wiping blades each of which have wiping edges for wiping a printhead traveling thereby. The first wipe removes pooled ink and debris and spreads viscous ink while the second wipe further the spread ink before it can retract to its former drop or pooled configuration.

    摘要: A birdirectionally movable carriage in an ink-jet printer contains either a color or a black ink cartridge. When a color cartridge is mounted on the carriage, a rotatable service station having both color and black cartridge service stations mounted thereon rotates to position the color service station adjacent the travel path of the color cartridge. A cap on the color service station includes a lip for sealing against the color cartridge and a flexible diaphragm which flexes to minimize pressure differentials between the interior and exterior of the cap. Because ink vapor diffusion through the diaphragm is possible, a diffusion vent is provided to a chamber on the side of the diaphragm exposed to the exterior of the cap. The diffusion vent permits diaphragm flexing while inhibiting ink vapor diffusion from the cap.

    摘要: A ganged inkjet printhead sealing system maintains inkjet printhead health in an inkjet printing mechanism during periods of printing inactivity. In multi-printhead printing mechanisms, separate caps seal against each of the printheads. The caps each have an outlet vent. The vents are all ganged together and fluidically coupled to a single, common pressure regulation chamber that isolates the environment adjacent the printhead nozzles from the external environment when the printheads are capped. A fluid in a U-shaped manometer tube, or an elastomeric bladder are used to isolate the pressure chamber environment. The bladder may be constructed as a thin-walled sheet, a spring-biased bag, or as a bellows. The pressure chamber volume changes to accommodate pressure spikes during the capping process, as well as environmental changes in temperature, elevation, barometric pressure, etc. An inkjet printing mechanism having such a ganged capping system, along with associated capping methods are also provided.
