Abstract: A liquid cartridge includes: a casing including a liquid chamber; a liquid supply portion; a deformable member; a movable member; and an urging member. An internal pressure of the chamber is reduced as liquid flows out of the chamber. The deformable member protrudes from the casing in a cross direction crossing forward and rearward directions and has an internal space in communication with the chamber. The deformable member has such an elasticity that a dimension thereof in the cross direction becomes smaller as the internal pressure of the chamber is reduced. The movable member includes a detection portion, and a contact portion contacting the deformable member. The contact portion is in contact with the deformable member and disposed at one of positions further forward and further rearward relative to the deformable member. The urging member urges the movable member to move the contact portion toward the deformable member.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to prime a printhead assembly are disclosed. An example method includes drawing ink into a printhead assembly by operating a pump in fluid communication with the printhead assembly for a first period of time at a first speed. An amount of ink drawn into the printhead assembly during the first period is to be sufficient to cover nozzles of a die at an outlet of the printhead assembly. The example method further includes evacuating air within the printhead assembly by operating the pump for a second period of time after the first period of time at a second speed greater than the first speed.

Abstract: A pressure adjusting device includes a housing with a cylinder. A piston moves within the cylinder in an axial direction. A pulse motor is fixed to the housing.
