    摘要: A method for correcting the skew between the leading edge of a sheet of paper and the nip of a roller assembly in a printing mechanism includes the steps of advancing a sheet of paper into the nip and slightly therebeyond. The rollers are then rotated in reverse, causing the paper to retract from the roller assembly, with the angle and weight of the paper maintaining the leading edge within the nip. As the rollers continue to rotate backwards, the paper jiggles or dances allowing the leading edge to settle parallel with the nip under its own weight. The paper is then readvanced through the roller assembly with its leading edge parallel to the nip. A mechanism applies a drag force to the paper when the paper is being retracted from the roller assembly to keep the leading edge of the paper in the nip.A single motor control apparatus includes a processor-controlled drive motor, a drive roller assembly, a pick roller assembly and a gearing arrangement coupling the drive motor to the roller assemblies, for selective control of the timing, speed and rotational direction thereof to achieve the above described method.

    摘要: A flipping wiper scraper system for cleaning several inkjet printheads in an inkjet printing mechanism has a wiper support mechanism which moves several elastomeric wipers across the printheads to wipe off accumulations of ink residue. This ink residue is then scraped off of the wipers to ready them for the next wiping stroke using a scraper system. The wiper support mechanism inverts the wipers to engage scraper bars of the scraper system. The scraper bars have scraping heads and capillary channels to draw liquid ink residue away from the heads through capillary forces. The scraper bars are arranged so only one or two wipers are scraped at any given time to reduce noise and quiet overall unit operation. A method of cleaning an inkjet printhead, along with an inkjet printing mechanism having such a flipping wiper scraper system are also provided.

    摘要: A service station for use in servicing one or more inkjet print cartridges includes a service station sled assembly movably attached to a service station chassis. The service station can be used with either a facsimile machine that uses thermal inkjet printing, or with a thermal inkjet printer. In one embodiment, the service station includes an alignment mechanism for aligning a print carriage with respect to the sled assembly during capping to achieve improved alignment, relative to previous service stations, of a cap with respect to a corresponding print cartridge printhead. In another embodiment, the service station includes a positioning mechanism for positioning the print carriage with respect to the sled assembly during wiping such that, viewed in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the print carriage, the edge of a wiper distal from a sled base extends beyond the print cartridge printhead by a predetermined amount in order to achieve optimum wiping performance. In another embodiment, the service station includes both the alignment mechanism and the positioning mechanism.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided to prevent the overflow of waste ink from a primary spittoon used in a service station of a thermal ink-jet device, such as a facsimile machine. An opening is defined in a wall of the primary spittoon such that when the waste ink level within the primary spittoon reaches the opening, the waste ink issues from the opening for collection by a secondary spittoon. A passageway may be employed to route the ink from the opening to the secondary spittoon, with the passageway preferably represented by a rib formed externally on the primary spittoon wall. By employing the method of the present invention, one avoids the potential contamination of the internal workings of the thermal ink-jet device caused by the unchecked overflow of ink from the primary spittoon.
