    摘要: An apparatus and method of use opposes a short circuit failure mode in a printer having a printhead controller circuit driving an address bus connected to two or more printheads. A failure protection circuit associates one resistor group with each address line within the address bus that extends into at least two printheads. In particular, one address line resistor is placed in series between the address lead extending from a head driver IC within the printhead controller circuit and each printhead into which the address line extends. Where an address line shorts, the associated address line resistor protects the head driver IC from the short, allowing it to control the voltage potential of that address line in any printhead that has not failed. The user is then able to identify and replace the non-functioning printhead.

    摘要: A printing apparatus includes one of a first cartridge or a second cartridge. The first cartridge has a first contact array including a plurality of contact areas. The second cartridge has a second contact array including a plurality of contact areas. The locations of the contact areas of the first contact array are different from locations of the contact areas of the second contact array. The printing apparatus further includes a carriage that interchangeably receives the first cartridge and the second cartridge. A controller identifies whether the first cartridge or the second cartridge is installed in the carriage.

    摘要: A print cartridge includes a cartridge body having a lower portion and a vertical wall. A printhead is coupled with the lower portion of the cartridge body. A contact array including a plurality of contact areas is disposed on the vertical wall. The contact array is one of at least two contact arrays. Each contact array has a different pattern of contact area locations. A portion of the contact areas of each contact array are capable of providing identity information for the print cartridge.
