Abstract:
Systems and methods for connector for supplying fluid to a print system. One system is an apparatus that includes a fluid supply station of a printer with a connector to couple with a fluid source for supplying fluid to at least one printhead of the printer. The connector includes an interface having a body with an end surface that corresponds with a face of a nozzle of the fluid source. The connector also includes an inlet protruding from the end surface and configured to enter an opening of the nozzle for receiving the fluid from the fluid source. The connector further includes communication circuitry disposed on the end surface and configured to establish a connection with corresponding communication circuitry disposed on the face of the nozzle of the fluid source when the inlet enters the opening of the nozzle and the end surface and the nozzle face align.
