摘要： A media loading and unloading system, for use with a media cutting system having a cutting table and cutting apparatus to cut or score media held on a surface of the cutting table, includes an elevator assembly and a bi-directional transport system. The elevator assembly includes a drive and multiple vertically displaced bins that are vertically movable up and down by the drive. The bi-directional transport system transports media in a lateral feed direction from the elevator assembly to the cutting table surface and removes media from the cutting table surface in a lateral direction opposite to the feed direction to the elevator assembly.

摘要： A liquid recording apparatus ejects droplets of liquid onto a recording medium. The apparatus has multiple liquid emitters whose emissions are activated by multiple power pulses. The power pulses are controlled to maximize the number of emitters which can be simultaneously energized while keeping the instantaneous power usage within prescribed boundaries. The multiple emitters are organized into banks of emitters whose numbers are small enough that all emitters within a bank can receive a correct level of power simultaneously without exceeding capacity of a shared power source. A circuit interleaves the power pulses to the emitters so that no bank of emitters are receiving power at the same instant of time.

摘要： An ink jet printer has a temperature sensor as a permanent part thereof to measure the temperature of printheads which are an integral part of a replaceable printhead cartridge assembly. The temperature sensor is a part of the maintenance station and senses the temperature of the printheads each time the printhead enters the maintenance station. In the preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor is spring-loaded and is located at a printhead spitting location between fixed wiper blades and the capping location in the maintenance station, so that temperature is sensed each time the printhead enters and leaves the maintenance station to eject nozzle cleaning droplets onto a collection surface at the spitting location to clean the printhead nozzle face by the wiper blades, or to cap the printhead nozzles. To facilitate good thermal contact, a recess is provided in the heat sink upon which the printhead resides for entry by the spring-loaded temperature sensor.
