A printhead reservoir has an ink input port, an ink reservoir to hold ink received through the ink input port, an ink channel to pipe ink to the jets, and an air vent at the top of the channels to vent the air bubbles from the jet ink path when pressure is applied. The air vents have channels separate from the jetting fluid path that exit the jet stack. A manifold plate has at least one manifold to direct ink to a jet path. Each manifold plate has a bottom edge and a top edge, the top edge being scalloped to form traps, and manifold plate outlets corresponding siphon vents on a back side of the manifold plate such that air exits to a front side of the manifold plate.

摘要： A system for maintaining alignment between a print head (18) and a transfer surface (34) of a drum assembly (38) includes a first contacting member (78, 80) carried by the print head. A first receiving member (82, 84) is carried by the drum assembly. A drive mechanism (20) translates the print head relative to the transfer surface. During translation of the print head relative to the transfer surface, the first contacting member maintains a sliding contact with the first receiving member.
