Printhead stall. This printhead stall is specially designed to hold and orient the printhead
in high-performance printing systems. Its exible design is suitable for a variety of
printhead array congurations, and is appropriate for both stationary and moving printhead
applications.
The stall’s datum and alignment structure provide accurate positioning of the printhead.
This modular component supports a 0.5-inch swath width and 600 dpi thermal inkjet
printing. Printheads can be snapped in and out of the stall for easy replacement.
Pen driver board. This printed circuit assembly (PCA) provides both the electrical and logical
interface between the host printing system and the printhead. This component is designed to
provide proper operation, proper ring, and protection of the printhead. An application-specic
integrated circuit (ASIC) on the PCA communicates with the host via a serial data interface
and converts conguration and print data into printhead-specic ring signals. Onboard ring
voltage regulation provides consistent ring energy, independent of print density. Firing
energy is programmable to provide optimal printhead performance and life.
Enclosed regulator assembly. This regulator assembly maintains the pressure and ink
ow to the printhead. Because of its small size and enclosed design, it can be mounted and
incorporated easily into any design. With this regulator in place, the bulk ink cartridge can be
mounted some distance from the printhead, and management of backpressure and ink ow
is handled automatically.
Ink connectors. These ink connectors are specially designed to quickly disconnect for easy
system operation. The no-drip design helps maintain a clean operating environment, and
air-tight seals prevent air from entering the system when they are connected or
disconnected.
IDS interface board. This electronic board mounts on the modular ink supply stall
assembly and enables access to ink level sensing and other advanced ink cartridge features.
Each board controls up to four modular ink supply stall assemblies. Incorporating this board
into the design increases printing system functionality and reliability. For example, it can
conrm ink cartridge compatibility, deliver “low ink” warnings, or enable hot swapping of ink
cartridges.
Modular ink supply stall assembly. This component provides easy mounting of the
bulk ink cartridge, as well as proper electrical and mechanical connection every time the
cartridge is changed. When multiple ink cartridges are required, simply snap together as
many modular ink supply stall assemblies as needed.
This convenient module includes everything you need to make all electrical and mechanical
connections to the cartridge.
The modular ink supply stall assembly includes these parts:
• ISS connector assembly, which enables electrical connection with the smart chip on
the cartridge
• Ink seal assembly
• Ink stall
