Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

B41J 2175

US Classification:

347 85

Abstract:

A rejuvenation station has a housing with a first area adapted to hold a fluid supply, and a second area adapted to hold a printer cartridge. In the first area is a first fluidic interconnect that is adapted to couple with the fluid supply. In the second area is a second fluidic interconnect that is adapted to couple with the printer cartridge. A fluid path in the housing couples the fluidic interconnects. An actuator extracts fluid from at least one of the fluid supply and the printer cartridge, and inserts fluid into the printer cartridge through the fluid path.

Inventors:

Michael J. Allison - Brush Prairie WA

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

B65B 104

US Classification:

141 2, 141 18, 347 85

Abstract:

An implementation of a printer ink delivery system and method for increasing the efficiency of space utilization within a printer includes at least one available-space-conforming internal ink tank adapted to fit within difficult to access areas within a printers enclosure. A fill port allows the temporary attachment of an externally located, ergonomically shaped ink refill canister. By utilizing space which otherwise might go unused for placement of the internal ink tank, a smaller printer enclosure may be designed. By providing a fill port adapted for attachment of ergonomic ink refill canister, the user is easily able to refill the internal ink tank.
