Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize an ink containing means and a printer in which a large quantity of ink can be stored through a simple structure while enhancing reliability of ink supply to a print head. SOLUTION: The ink containing means comprises a container 136 having a port communicating with the outside at one end thereof, and a plurality of ink absorbers 141-143 having specified capillary forces and loaded into the container 136 while touching each other. Since the ink absorber 143 having highest capillary force among the ink absorbers 141-143 is loaded to the communication port side, ink can be supplied efficiently to the communication port side regardless of the size of the container or the position of the communication portion port in the ink containing means. Consequently, a large quantity of ink can be stored through a simple structure while enhancing reliability of ink supply to the print head.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform highly reliable detection by preventing an electrolysis (ionization) of liquid so as not to change the properties of the liquid.
SOLUTION: The liquid detection device 10 detects liquid inside containers T1 and T2 which house conductive liquid therein. The device 10 comprises an electrode part 26 (26a-26e), impedance 22 and an alternating current (AC) signal source 21. The electrode part 26 is disposed so as to contact the liquid inside the containers T1 and T2 leading to be energized by the liquid contact. The device 10 is further equipped with a liquid detection circuit 20 and a judgement means 31. The liquid detection circuit 20 outputs a signal indicating an energizing state of the electrode part 26 by inputting an AC signal which does not contain direct current components by way of the impedance 22 from the AC signal source 21 and a binary signal to indicate whether the electrode part 26 is energized or not, based on the output signal. The judgment means 31 determines as to the presence or absence of the liquid in the electrode part 26 based on the binary signal output from the liquid detection circuit 20.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently maintain the liquid discharging performance by reducing discharge defects of a liquid by a liquid discharging head in a liquid discharging performance maintenance method of a liquid discharging apparatus which discharges the liquid from liquid discharging nozzles of the liquid discharging head. SOLUTION: An ink (predetermined liquid) (i) within a printing head 22 which is supplied from an ink tank 4 to be discharged from the ink discharging nozzle 40a is ejected out of an ink-sending pipe 159, and bubbles mixed in the ink (i) are removed, whereby the discharge defects of the ink (i) are reduced in the liquid discharging performance maintenance method. After the execution of bubble removal through ejection of the ink (i) in the printing head 22 is started, the bubble removal is continuously executed until a fixed time passes since the state that no bubbles are present in the ink (i) ejected from within the printing head 22 is detected. The ink discharge defects of the printing head 2 are thus reduced, and the ink discharging performance maintenance is carried out surely. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
