摘要:
A maintenance system for maintaining an elongate inkjet printhead. The maintenance system includes: a carriage movable longitudinally along the printhead, the carriage including a maintenance member having a primary suction nozzle facing inkjet nozzles of the printhead and a wiper adjacent the primary suction nozzle; a traversing mechanism for traversing the carriage longitudinally along the printhead; and an engagement mechanism for urging the wiper and the printhead into engagement with each other. During use, the wiper contacts a non-printing part of the printhead and the primary suction nozzle is spaced apart from the printhead.

A printing assembly has at least one frame, which frame has at least two side walls, between which two side walls a transport path, provided for the transport of printing material, at least partially extends. At least one transport direction is defined by the transport path provided for the transport of printing material. The printing assembly has at least two cross members which are spaced apart from each other in the transport direction and which each extend from one of the side walls to another of the side walls. Each of the at least two cross members has at least one first cross beam and at least one second cross beam spaced apart therefrom, which jointly bound at least one interior of the particular cross member at least partially in and against the transport direction. At least one component of one of a gas transport device and at least one additional device for supplying at least one printing head with one of energy and operating media and printing fluid and data and at least one gas and at least one inner device for one of cleaning and maintaining and covering at least one printing head is arranged in the at least one interior in each case. The printing assembly has at least one supporting body which can be moved, in relation to the frame, in at least one parking direction and which extends at least in a transverse direction between side walls. At least one printing head is arranged on the at least one supporting body and can be moved jointly with the at least one supporting body.

A spittoon system for a printing mechanism includes a reservoir elongated in a longitudinal direction and having a bottom part. The reservoir receives printing fluid residue spit from a print-head onto a first zone of the reservoir. The spittoon system further includes a cleaning element arranged inside the reservoir to transfer, by sliding along the longitudinal direction of the reservoir, the received printing fluid residue from the first zone to a second zone. The second zone includes a drain outlet to drain the printing fluid residue from the reservoir.

A printer is disclosed herein. The printer has a printhead having a plurality of ink nozzles for ejecting ink, a servicing mechanism for capturing the ejected ink from the ink nozzles, to service the printhead, and a control device coupled to the printhead and the servicing mechanism for regulating the servicing. As part of the regulation, the control device continues feeding a substrate towards the printhead during an idle period. The idle period of the printhead can be a duration when printing on the substrate is suspended. Further, the control device regulates ejection of ink from the ink nozzles towards the substrate during the idle period and operates the servicing mechanism during the idle period. In an example, the servicing mechanism captures the ink before the ink reaches the substrate.

Provided is an air jet emission method used in a recording apparatus. The recording apparatus performs predetermined printing by ejecting ink droplets from a recording head provided in an apparatus body onto a medium. The medium is fed into the apparatus body while being guided by a guide and is transported from an upstream side, which is one side with respect to the apparatus body, toward a downstream side, which is an opposite side with respect to the apparatus body. The air jet emission method comprises: emitting a jet of air onto a surface of the transported medium at a predetermined area over a heating device at the upstream side, thereby blowing dust off the surface of the transported medium. The heating device is provided in the guide so as to apply heat to the transported medium.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes feeding mechanism that feeds a recording medium in a first direction, a head including nozzles that eject liquid; and a humidifying mechanism. The humidifying mechanism includes a humidified air generating device that generates humidified air, an output portion that outputs the humidified air generated by the humidified air generating device, and a receiving portion that receives the humidified air output from the output portion. The output portion includes a first opening and a second opening. An area of the second opening is greater than an area of the first opening, and the first opening is separated from the second opening in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The head is disposed between the output portion and the receiving portion in the first direction.
