  • Patent number: 9962940
    Abstract: In some examples, a service cartridge includes a fluid storage container for receiving fluid discharged from a fluid ejection device, and a web wipe for performing a wiping operation on the fluid ejection device. In a first wiping operation, the web wipe is caused to be advanced by a first length. An amount of discharged fluid into the fluid storage container is monitored. In a second wiping operation after the first wiping operation, in response to the monitored amount of discharged fluid into the fluid storage container, the web wipe is caused to be advanced by a second length different from the first length.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9592671
    Abstract: An example method for managing a service cartridge for an inkjet printhead in accordance with the present disclosure is provided. The service cartridge comprises a printing fluid storage container for receiving printing fluid discharged from the printhead and a web wipe intended to be advanced a predetermined length for performing a wiping operation on the printhead. The method comprises monitoring the amount of discharged printing fluid into the container, monitoring the amount of consumed web wipe, and causing that in a subsequent wiping operation the web wipe is advanced a length that is higher than the predetermined length, if the ratio of the amount of discharged printing fluid to the capacity of the printing fluid storage container is higher than the ratio of the amount of consumed web wipe to the total length of the web wipe.
