    Abstract: A solid ink printer is configured to learn the identity of solid ink sticks for printer operation. The solid ink printer includes a feed channel having an insertion opening configured to receive solid ink sticks, a sensor positioned near the insertion opening of the feed channel and configured to obtain solid ink stick type data from a solid ink stick inserted into the insertion opening of the feed channel, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor to receive the solid ink stick type data, the controller being configured to store the solid ink stick type data in a memory in response to an initialization signal and to operate the solid ink printer with reference to the solid ink stick type data stored in the memory by the controller.

    Abstract: An ink stick (30) for use in a phase change ink imaging device is provided. The ink stick comprises an ink stick body configured to fit within an ink loader of the imaging device. At least one coded sensor feature (80) is formed in the exterior surface of the ink stick body. The at least one coded sensor feature (80) comprises a plurality of code element patterns (84). Each code element pattern (84) of the plurality of code element patterns is configured to actuate at least one sensor in the feed channel to generate the same coded pattern of signals.

    Abstract: An ink stick for use in a phase change ink imaging device comprises an ink stick body having a leading surface, a trailing surface, and a top surface. The to p surface has a front edge that is rearwardly offset from a top edge of the leading surface, and a back edge that is at least partially rearwardly offset from the top of the traili ng surface. A leading canted face extends between the top edge of the leading surface and the front edge of the top surface. A trailing canted face extends between the top edge of the trailing surface and the back edge of the top surface. The back edge include s a key that is complementary to an insertion opening key of an ink loader.

    Abstract: Un conjunto de barras de tinta incluye múltiples barras de tinta, cada una adaptada para ser insertada en una dirección de inserción en uno de los canales de alimentación de la impresora de chorro de tinta de cambio de fase. Cada barra de tinta tiene una superficie de ajuste sustancialmente alineada con la dirección de inserción, y cada una de las superficies de ajuste tiene un elemento de ajuste que tiene una posición con relación a la superficie de ajuste que corresponde a la posición del canal de alimentación con relación a un aspecto de la impresora. Un método de inserción de una barra de tinta en un sistema de liberación de una impresora de chorro de tinta de cambio de fase incluye orientar la barra de tinta con una superficie de ajuste orientada en una dirección particular e identificar la posición del elemento de ajuste con relación al resto de la superficie de ajuste. Un canal de alimentación de tinta del sistema de alimentación que tiene una posición que coincide con un sistema de liberación de tinta es identificado, y la barra de tinta es insertada en el canal de alimentación de tinta identificado.
