Filed:

Mar 30, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/093503

Inventors:

Antonio L. Williams - Lake Oswego OR, US
Scott J. Phillips - Henrietta NY, US

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

B41J 2/175

US Classification:

347 88

Abstract:

An insulating assembly and method for insulating printer/copier solid ink printheads. The insulating assembly includes printhead insulators having thermal insulation capable of moving along insulator paths interposed between the printheads and an ink receiving surface for insulating the printhead front faces. The method includes moving insulating assemblies along insulator paths interposed between the printheads and an ink receiving surface for insulating the printhead front faces.

International Classification:

B41J 29/38
B41J 29/393

US Classification:

347 19, 347 5, 347 16

Abstract:

A printing device comprises a print head, imaging member, and a moveable sensor array. The print head is configured to deliver marking material to the imaging member as it moves in a process direction. The linear sensor array comprises a plurality of photo sensors configured to scan the imaging member. The photo detectors of the linear sensor array define a sensor axis that is substantially perpendicular to the process direction. The linear sensor array is configured to move along the sensor axis between a first position where the sensor array scans one portion of the imaging member and a second position where the sensor array scans another portion of the imaging member. If a fault is detected during calibration of the sensor array, the moveable sensor array may be used to determine whether the source of the fault rests with the imaging member or the sensor array.

International Classification:

B41J 2/01

US Classification:

347103000

Abstract:

A maintenance system and method for maintaining an imaging member of an imagining device includes a pre-cleaning device to clean the imaging member; an applicator to apply release agent to the imaging member; a metering device to meter release agent on the imaging member; a reservoir to remotely store release agent; and a pump to supply the applicator with release agent from the reservoir. The saturation level of the applicator is monitored and maintained within a predetermined range. The applicator, pre-cleaning device and metering device may be independently actuated to engage the imaging member. Release agent collected by the pre-cleaning device and/or metering device may be recycled. Debris collected by the pre-cleaning device and/or metering device may be stored and/or removed.
