Abstract: A toner cartridge has a base and a slide slidably received in a slot of the base with at least one opening therein. A rotatable knob is inserted into the slide opening, wherein knob rotation results in a portion of the knob contacting a slide opening, thus moving the slide with respect to the base to one of a fully opened and fully closed position. The knob can include an eccentric cam which engages the slide opening to cause slide movement. The knob can have an axle which engages an opening in the base. The knob also can have a plurality of teeth on an outer edge thereof. The slide opening can have teeth which engage the teeth of the knob to move the slide with respect to the base.

Abstract: A method of filling ink into a dual chamber ink-jet cartridge for use with an ink-jet printer includes applying a vacuum to the cartridge through a fill hole of the cartridge to substantially eliminate air within an ink absorbing member of the cartridge. The fill hole is sealed and then ink is pressure filled into the cartridge through the fill hole. A vacuum is again applied to the cartridge to substantially eliminate any residual air in the cartridge due to the pressure filling of the ink. The fill hole may be positioned over a free ink chamber or over the ink absorbing member of the cartridge. The vacuum includes applying a negative pressure of about 27.5 in/Hg. The negative pressure is applied at a cycle rate of 5-30 seconds.

Abstract: An ink supply tank has a plurality of walls forming a cavity and a bottom wall formed with an ink outlet port. An ink absorbing member is disposed within the cavity positioned adjacent the ink outlet port. A plurality of grooves are recessed within the bottom wall and have a depth which gradually increases toward the ink outlet port. The grooves are approximately parallel to and are equally spaced apart from each other. The grooves extend along the longitudinal axis of the tank and are of the same width. A pair of grooves also extend along a transverse axis of the tank and are positioned on opposed sides of the ink outlet port and are parallel to each other. The transverse grooves have a width greater than the width of the longitudinal grooves.

Abstract: A ribbon cartridge comprises a housing having a bottom wall and a side wall extending upwardly therefrom to form an open top, a cover adapted to fit over the open top of the housing to close the housing to form a ribbon cartridge, an output arm and a take-up arm formed in the cartridge with a print space between the arms, the cartridge being adapted to hold a ribbon stuffed inside and extending between the arms from the output arm to the take-up arm, flexible fingers which are spaced apart from each other and attached at their base portions to the housing, with each finger being positioned in a finger opening in the bottom wall of the housing, whereby when an end tab of a finger meets resistance from a top wall of a correction cartridge, the finger is pushed into the interior of the housing, and when an end tab of a finger does not meet such resistance, it actuates the typewriter switch to actuate the typewriter. The method includes providing the ribbon cartridge, inserting it into a typewriter, inserting a correction tape cartridge into the typewriter, passing one of the fingers through a passage in the correction cartridge to contact the switch of the typewriter and actuate the typewriter, and blocking the other finger with the top surface of the correction tape cartridge and pushing the other finger back through its finger opening into the interior of the ribbon cartridge.
