摘要： A mailing machine includes structure for transporting a mailpiece at a constant speed through the mailing machine in a processing direction; structure for continuously determining a position of the mailpiece in the mailing machine; a first printhead having first nozzles aligned transverse to the processing direction; a second printhead having second nozzles aligned adjacent to the first nozzles and transverse to the processing direction; structure for coordinating the selective energizing of the first and second nozzles in synchronism with each other and the position of the mailpiece so that the first printhead only prints first predetermined columns of ink dots of an indicia image on the mailpiece and the second printhead only prints second predetermined columns of ink dots of the indicia image on the mailpiece, the second predetermined columns of ink dots being in interlaced relationship in the processing direction with the first predetermined columns of ink dots whereby the first and second columns of ink dots together form the indicia image. A method includes the steps of aligning at least first and second printheads in a processing direction of a substrate to be printed on; moving the substrate in the processing direction past the first and second printheads; selectively energizing the first printhead to only print first predetermined columns of ink dots of an image on the substrate; selectively energizing the second printhead to only print second predetermined columns of ink dots of the image on the substrate, the second predetermined columns of ink dots being in interlaced relationship in the processing direction with the first predetermined columns of ink dots whereby the first and second columns of ink dots together form the image.

摘要翻译： 邮寄机包括：以处理方向通过邮寄机以恒定速度传送邮件的结构; 结构，用于连续地确定邮件在邮寄机中的位置; 第一打印头，其具有横向于所述处理方向排列的第一喷嘴; 第二打印头，其具有与所述第一喷嘴相邻且横向于所述处理方向的第二喷嘴; 用于协调第一和第二喷嘴彼此同步的选择性激励和邮件的位置的结构，使得第一打印头仅在邮件上打印标记图像的第一预定列的墨点，并且第二打印头仅打印第二打印头 在邮件上的标记图像的预定列的墨点，第二预定列的墨点在处理方向上与第一预定列的墨点处于交错关系，由此第一和第二列墨点一起形成标记图像 。 一种方法包括以下步骤：在待印刷的基板的处理方向上对准至少第一和第二打印头; 使处理方向上的基板移动经过第一和第二打印头; 选择性地激励第一打印头以仅在基板上打印图像的第一预定列的墨点; 选择性地激励第二打印头以仅在基板上打印图像的第二预定列的墨点，第二预定列的墨点在处理方向上与第一预定列的墨点处于交错关系，由此第一和第二列 的墨点一起形成图像。

摘要： A replaceable ink supply tank that can be mounted to a pen body of a printhead system for use with an ink jet printer. The ink supply tank provides the necessary back pressure for successful operation of the printhead and includes a siphon break in the conduit that supplies ink from the supply tank to the pen body. A conduit connects the ink supply tank to the pen body. The conduit contains a raised portion that is at a level higher than the ink level in the supply tank. The conduit contains a siphon break chamber between the raised portion and the pen body. The conduit further contains an accumulator in the raised portion of the supply tank. The accumulator maintains back pressure in the preferred range to discourage drooling from the nozzle plate during ambient temperature swings.

摘要： Mailing machine comprising a printer module including an array of ink jet print elements for printing on an envelope having a top surface, a registration shield located below and spaced apart from the printer module and a transport apparatus. The registration shield includes a top surface and a bottom surface and has an opening through which the array of ink jet print elements project ink onto the top surface of the envelope. The transport apparatus feeds the envelope in a path of travel so that the envelope passes between the registration shield and the printer module. Additionally, the transport apparatus includes a device for biasing the top surface of the envelope into contact with the registration shield. The registration shield further includes a channel extending parallel to the path of travel and in substantial alignment with the opening so that the top surface of the envelope in proximity to the channel does not contact the bottom surface of the registration shield so as to allow air to flow through the opening.
