Abstract:
In an example, a method includes, by logic circuitry associated with a replaceable print apparatus component installed in a print apparatus, responding to a sensor data request received from the print apparatus by returning a first response; receiving a calibration parameter from the print apparatus; and returning a second response which is different from the first response.
Abstract:
An ink container (40, 100) has a first chamber (43, 104) configured to contain ink, a second chamber (46, 102) configured to enclose an ink-air separating membrane (44, 130) consisting of a wet side portion and a dry side portion, and a structure (108, 128) configured to connect the first and second chambers. A sealing arrangement (45, 106, 152) which is associated with the structure and which keeps the first and second chambers fluidly isolated from each other until the ink container (100) is disposed on a printer ink supply station and ink can be supplied from the first chamber to the printer.
Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component includes an interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit, and at least one logic circuit to receive, via the interface, requests corresponding to different sensor IDs with the component connected to the apparatus. The logic circuit is to transmit, via the interface, a digital value in response to each request. The digital values corresponding to the different sensor IDs are distinct.
Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component comprises an interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit, and at least one logic circuit. The logic circuit may be configured to identify, from a command stream received from the print apparatus, parameters including a class parameter, and/or identify, from the command stream, a read request, and output, via the interface, a count value in response to a read request, the count value based on identified received parameters.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit for a replaceable print apparatus component comprising a communication interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit over the bus, and at least one logic circuit.
Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component includes an interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit and at least one logic circuit to transmit, via the interface, a limit parameter and a count threshold parameter. The logic circuit is to receive, via the interface, initial requests to read sensor IDs with the component connected to the apparatus and the apparatus not pneumatically actuating the component. The logic circuit is to transmit, via the interface, a resting state digital value in response to each initial request. The logic circuit is to receive, via the interface, further requests to read the sensor IDs with the component connected to the apparatus and the apparatus pneumatically actuating the component. The logic circuit is to transmit, via the interface, a further digital value in response to each further request.
Abstract:
A sensor circuit for a replaceable print material container to be connected to a host print apparatus logic circuit comprising a first sensor to detect a pneumatic stimulus or pressurization applied by a print apparatus, and an interface including contact pads to connect to a voltage and/or data source of the print apparatus logic circuit, the sensor circuit configured to output signals conditioned by the pneumatic stimulus or pressurization via the contact pads.
Abstract:
In one example, a liquid delivery and gas removal system for a printhead. The system includes a pump to provide a liquid at a positive pressure. The system also includes a filter fluidically coupled to the pump to receive the pressurized liquid at an upstream side, at a first pressure push the liquid through the filter to a downstream side, and at a higher second pressure push gas bubbles in the liquid through the filter to the downstream side. The system further includes a vent having a gas-permeable membrane. A wet side of the membrane is fluidically coupled to the downstream side and to a printhead. A vacuum is applied to a dry side of the membrane.
Abstract:
A fluid ejection system may include a fluid ejection die, a fluid reservoir, a fluid mover, a valve system to control flow of fluid by the fluid mover and a controller. The controller is to output first control signals to the valve system to cause a first fluid flow to be directed from the fluid reservoir and across the fluid ejection die in a first direction and is to output second control signals to the valve system, to cause a second fluid flow to be directed from the fluid reservoir and across the fluid ejection die in a second direction that is a reversal of the first direction.
Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component includes an interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit, and a logic circuit having a communication address to communicate with the print apparatus logic circuit. The logic circuit is configured to detect, via the interface, communications that include an other communication address. The logic circuit is configured to respond, via the interface, to a command series directed to the logic circuit that include the communication address of the logic circuit, based on the detected communications.
