    摘要: A volumetric fluid dispensing device can include a fluid reservoir having at least one flexible wall and a dispensing reservoir oriented above the fluid reservoir. The dispensing reservoir can have an overflow return fluidly connected to the fluid reservoir such that the dispensing reservoir holds a measured volume of fluid. A reservoir conduit can be fluidly connected to the fluid reservoir and the dispensing reservoir to allow excess fluid to return from the overflow to the fluid reservoir. A dispensing conduit can also be fluidly connected to the dispensing reservoir to allow fluid to exit the dispensing reservoir. A mechanical wall actuator can be operatively associated with the walls for controllably flexing at least a portion of the walls sufficient to force fluid from the fluid reservoir to the dispensing reservoir via the reservoir conduit.

    摘要: Imaging apparatus and methods of homogenizing ink are described. In one implementation an imaging apparatus includes an ink supply to provide ink to be used in printing, and a printhead to apply the ink during printing. A conduit system couples the ink supply and the printhead in fluid flowing relation. A pump is operably coupled to the conduit system. In operation, the pump causes the ink to circulate between the ink supply and the printhead. A timing device measures an idle-time since the pump was last in operation. A controller receives the idle-time measurement from the timing device, and actuates the pump when a selected idle-time is reached. In another implementation, a method for homogenizing ink includes providing a pump, then automatically actuating the pump to homogenize ink within an ink delivery system each time the ink delivery system has been resting for a selected idle-time.

    摘要: A pump having a rotary portion which compels the movement of a fluid by peristaltic compression of resilient tubing containing the fluid includes a roller assembly having at least one roller mounted in the rotary portion of the pump for contact with the resilient tubing. The roller has a range of rotation in contact with the tubing during pump operation. A roller control mechanism is adapted and constructed to stop the roller at a single, predetermined location on the tubing when the pump operation is stopped.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided. A supply of ink within a flexible bag is located apart from a printer. A fluid conduit couples the supply of ink to the printer by way of a connecting head. The connecting head includes a pump driven by a mechanical actuator of the printer. Operation of the pump causes a flow of ink from the flexible bag to a printhead of the printer. Pump failure is detected and interpreted as an out-of-ink condition, and user notification and/or cessation of printing operations are automatically performed.
