摘要:
An ink delivery system for a printer includes an ink reservoir, a printhead assembly, a pump configured to provide ink from the ink reservoir to the printhead assembly at a selected pressure, and a controller configured to adjust the selected pressure based on a characteristic of an image to be printed.

摘要:
A printing system having a fluid source, a first fluid path connecting the fluid source to a first fluid port of the printhead, a second fluid path connecting the fluid source to a second fluid port of the printhead, wherein the first and second paths are configured so that fluid from the fluid source flows between the first and second paths via the printhead.
摘要:
A method of priming a media width printhead, the method having controlling operation of the printhead, with a controller of a printing system having the printhead, to draw fluid in a first direction around a closed fluid flow loop from a fluid container to the printhead and controlling operation of a pump on the closed loop, with the controller, to draw fluid from the container in an opposite, second direction around the closed loop.
摘要:
A low voltage amplifier having a class-AB control circuit which generates minimal or no surge current when the output of the amplifier clips to ground or the negative rail. The amplifier includes an input stage, a summing circuit, a class-AB control circuit and an output stage. The input stage connects to a first current source and couples to receive a pair of differential input signals to generate intermediate signals that are summed together using the summing circuit. A second current source supplies the summing circuit with current. The class-AB control circuit receives the summed signals from the summing circuit to provide control for the output stage which generates the amplifier result at the output of the amplifier which delivers current to drive an external load. Specifically, the class-AB control circuit is improved by the addition of a PMOS device connected in such a way to cut off the DC current path that is generated during the output stage clipping condition by a diode connected PMOS device and a NMOS sensing device both located near the output of the class-AB control circuit. Thereby, the additional PMOS device minimizes the surge current generated by the NMOS sensing device when the output of the amplifier clips to ground or the negative rail.
