  • System and method for ink jet printhead detection
    Patent number: 7128385
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for detecting the presence of an ink jet printhead when a printhead controller fails to properly identify an installed printhead using a printhead identification device. The system includes a printhead including heater resistors and control elements, and a controller connected to the printhead via address and data lines. When the controller fails to properly identify an installed printhead, the controller operates to bias the control elements in a predetermined manner via at least one address line, detect a signal via the data lines, and generate a signal indicative of the presence of the installed printhead.

  • Host-based automatic negotiation of an internet protocol address for a network connected device
    Publication number: 20030225864
    Abstract: A host computer connected to a network serves as a proxy IP address negotiator for another device connected to the network. The host computer constructs and sends a first network packet for communicating with an IP address server connected to the network. The IP address server responds to the host computer with a second network packet including a first IP address. The host computer retrieves the first IP address from the second network packet, and sends the first IP address to the device for adoption by the device as the device IP address.
