  • Patent number: 11987058
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method is described. According to the method, a pump is selectively activated to draw print fluid from a print fluid delivery system towards a reclamation container. It is detected when a reservoir of the print fluid delivery system is empty. In response to an indication that the reservoir is empty, the pump is selectively deactivated to terminate a print fluid reclamation process.

  • Publication number: 20230104973
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a chassis having an interior region and a first printing fluid reservoir arranged within the interior region of the chassis. The chassis may fix the first printing fluid reservoir relative to a second printing fluid reservoir. The apparatus may also include a bottle seat that may define a charging port in fluidic communication to the first printing fluid reservoir to convey refill printing fluid received at the charging port to the first printing fluid reservoir. A fluidic interface may be arranged on the chassis and fluidically coupled to the first printing fluid reservoir to convey the printing fluid outside the chassis to a print head.

  • Publication number: 20230035549
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a print fluid delivery system is described. The print fluid delivery system includes a main reservoir to hold a volume of print fluid to be supplied to a printhead and a fluid indicator reservoir fluidly coupled to the main reservoir. The fluid indicator reservoir visually indicates a fluid level through an aperture in a printing system housing. The fluid indicator reservoir and the main reservoir have a same fluid level. The print fluid delivery system also includes a fluid transport system to transport fluid through the print fluid delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20230008472
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a print fluid refill system is described. The print fluid refill system includes a reservoir to hold a volume of print fluid to be supplied to a printhead. The print fluid refill system also includes a pump to 1 ) draw print fluid from the reservoir via a reservoir line and 2) transport print fluid to a reserve tank via a reserve line. The print fluid refill system also includes the reserve tank to, during refill of the reservoir, supply print fluid to a printhead via a printhead line. The reserve tank supplies print fluid to the printhead when fluid is passed to the reservoir via a return line.

  • Patent number: 11427012
    Abstract: An example printing apparatus includes a reservoir to contain a printing agent. The printing apparatus further includes a recovery port to receive connection of a recovery vessel and to communicate flow of the printing agent from the reservoir to the recovery vessel during a recovery operation. The printing apparatus further includes a recovery pump to pump the printing agent from the reservoir through the recovery port to the recovery vessel during the recovery operation. The printing apparatus further includes a vacuum pump at the reservoir to reduce pressure in the reservoir to below atmospheric pressure during the recovery operation to draw unrecovered printing agent away from the recovery port when the recovery vessel is removed from the recovery port.
