Publication number: 20230406001Abstract: According to an example, a printhead storage device comprises a printhead pocket to receive a printhead, a receptacle with an interior chamber wherein printing fluid is provided, and a fluid interconnect device comprising a fluid path with the interior chamber. Upon insertion of a printhead to the pocket, the fluid interconnect device is connected to the printhead, thereby providing a fluid connection between the printhead and the interior chamber and wherein the printhead is not operable when inserted in the printhead pocket.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2020Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Dorkaitz Alain VAZQUEZ FERNANDEZ, Maria DINARES ARGEMI, Mauricio SERAS FRANZOSO, Josep ORTIZ MOMPEL

Publication number: 20230373222Abstract: Examples in accordance with the present disclosure are directed to a method including generating a negative fluid pressure between a fluid supply and a first port of a fluidic ejection device, and generating a positive fluid pressure between the fluid supply and a second port of the fluidic ejection device. The method further includes selectively activating a first priming pump connected to the first port in response to an indication that the first port is transitioning from an open state to a closed state, wherein the selective activation of the first priming pump causes the first port to remain in the open state and causes fluid within the fluidic ejection device to exit through the first port and to recirculate along a fluid flow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2020Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Mauricio SERAS FRANZOSO, Dorkaitz Alain VAZQUEZ FERNANDEZ, David BUTINYA TEIXIDO

Publication number: 20230136963Abstract: Examples relate to a method to recirculate print agent in a printing system. The method comprises detecting a recirculation device comprising a check valve and detecting a printhead connected in parallel to the detected recirculation device. The method further comprises selecting a printhead circulation mode to circulate print agent through the detected printhead and selecting a recirculation device circulation mode to circulate print agent through the detected recirculation device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2020Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David BUTINYA TEIXIDO, Dorkaitz Alain VAZQUEZ FERNANDEZ, Josep ORTIZ MOMPEL

Patent number: 11607890Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide an electronic device comprising a controller. The controller to determine a volume of print fluid in a first tank of the electronic device, monitor current printing conditions of the electronic device disposing print fluid on a substrate, determine, based on the volume of print fluid and the current printing conditions, whether an adverse printing condition exists, responsive to the volume of print fluid being less than a threshold and the adverse printing condition not existing, control a pump to refill the first tank from a second tank at a flow rate determined at least partially according to the determined volume, and responsive to the volume of print fluid being less than the threshold and the adverse printing condition existing, control the pump to refill the first tank from the second tank at a default flow rate determined independent of the determined volume.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Antonio Gracia Verdugo, Ana Oropesa Fisica, Dorkaitz Alain Vazquez Fernandez, Josep Ortiz Mompel

Publication number: 20220097408Abstract: A printing carriage comprises a printhead, and two sensors for scanning an image deposited on a print media by the printhead. The sensors are provided on opposite sides of the printhead in a direction of movement of the printhead so that, during a printing pass of the printhead on the print media, one sensor is positioned on a trailing side of the moving printhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2019Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Gianni Cessel, Raimon Castells De Monet, Pablo Eduardo Carrasco Zanini Gonzalez, Dorkaitz Alain Vazquez Fernandez
