Patent number: 9931847Abstract: A printer is disclosed herein. The printer has a printhead having a plurality of ink nozzles for ejecting ink, a servicing mechanism for capturing the ejected ink from the ink nozzles, to service the printhead, and a control device coupled to the printhead and the servicing mechanism for regulating the servicing. As part of the regulation, the control device continues feeding a substrate towards the printhead during an idle period. The idle period of the printhead can be a duration when printing on the substrate is suspended. Further, the control device regulates ejection of ink from the ink nozzles towards the substrate during the idle period and operates the servicing mechanism during the idle period. In an example, the servicing mechanism captures the ink before the ink reaches the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey Allen Wagner, Thomas M Sabo, Ronald A Askeland, Gonzalo Gaston Llado, Alyssa Michelle Siegman, Lawrence H White, Alex Andrea Tallada, Brian J Keefe, Maria Magdalena Martinez Ferrandiz, Daniel Vincent Keane, Yi Hong Tor, Marian Dinares Argemi, Francisco Lopez Moral, Xavier Bruch, Chandrasekhar Nadimpalli

Patent number: 8870344Abstract: A method includes applying a nominal back pressure to a fluid ejection assembly and nozzles to form a first amount of back pressure therein by a back pressure regulator. The method also includes applying a first pressure to lower the first amount of back pressure within the fluid ejection assembly and the nozzles to form a second amount of back pressure therein by a pressurization module in response to an activation of a cleaning operation. The method also includes moving at least one of the fluid ejection assembly and a wicking member against each other to perform the cleaning operation. The wicking member moves relative to the fluid ejection assembly against and across the nozzle surface to transfer fluid residue from at least one of the nozzle surface and the nozzles to a portion of the wicking member to form a used wicking member portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Scott Martin, Thomas M Sabo, Christopher J Arnold
