In such systems and cartridges, the inkset of a unique cartridge may be deliberately limited relative to traditional inksets that seek to have a wide color gamut such that chemistries having greater durability may be employed. Still further, such cartridges may include one or more functional inks that have a purpose other than merely coloration. Particularly in compact printers, for which space is limited, the system can be designed to accept various unique cartridges based on the intended printing application and print based on the characteristics of the received cartridge. Beyond this, the system may advise the user when a different cartridge is necessary and/or may be beneficially used for a particular application.

A fluid fillable cartridge, a method for preventing contamination of nozzle holes in a fluid ejector chip and a method for making an adhesive sealing tape. The fluid fillable cartridge has an open fluid reservoir therein and a fluid ejector chip attached to an exposed surface of the fluid fillable cartridge opposite to the open fluid reservoir. An adhesive sealing tape is attached to the fluid fillable cartridge, wherein the adhesive sealing tape has an adhesive pattern on a first end of the adhesive sealing tape that is configured to attach the adhesive sealing tape adjacent to the fluid ejector chip while being devoid of adhesive in nozzle hole areas of the fluid ejector chip.
A method for delivering a predetermined amount of fluid from a fluid ejection head. The method includes measuring one or more parameters selected from fluid flow parameters and electrical parameters for the fluid ejection head to provide one or more measured parameters; calculating a fluid ejection offset value from the one or more measured parameters; storing the fluid ejection offset value in a memory location on the fluid ejection head; accessing the fluid ejection offset value by an ejection head controller; and adjusting an amount of fluid ejected from the fluid ejection head during a fluid ejection step using the fluid ejection offset value to provide the predetermined amount of fluid from the fluid ejection head.

A fluid ejection cartridge having a cartridge body with a cavity therein and an ejection head attached to an external surface of the cartridge body opposite the cavity. A cylindrical or a rectangular-prism shaped body made of a hydrophilic open-cell foam material is disposed in the cavity of the cartridge body. The cylindrical or rectangular-prism shaped body has at least one uncoated hydrophilic surface and two or more surfaces coated with a hydrophobic material.
A small form factor printhead and a thermal ink jet printer containing the reduce form factor printhead. The printhead includes an ink reservoir body having four side walls connected to a bottom wall. An ink supply port is disposed in the bottom wall. An ejection head is attached to an exterior surface of the bottom wall, wherein the ejection head is in ink flow communication with the ink supply port. A flexible circuit is electrically connected to the ejection head and is attached to the exterior surface of the bottom wall and an exterior surface of one of the four side walls. A cover is attached to a distal end of the four side walls opposite the bottom wall. A filter is attached adjacent to an underside of the cover.
A label printing module can be configured to perform at least two actions in response to a request to create a label for an item. The labei printing module can create a print job that will produce a physical label for the item In addition, the label printing module can cause a digital label to be created and stored in a digital label database, which can be accessible via the Internet. The digital label can include an identifier that is uniquely associated with the item to which the physical label corresponds. The digital label can be associated with an Internet address. The Internet address of the digital label can be included in a machine-readable object on the corresponding printed physical label Someone who has the item corresponding to the printed physical label can view informational content within the corresponding, digital label by using a reader to read the machine-readable object.
Aspects of the present disclosure simplify label printing for an object that includes a plurality of features, such as a patch panel that includes a plurality of ports. When a user wants to print a label for a group within an object (e.g., a group of ports within a patch panel), an image can be captured of at least one feature within the group. The image can be processed by a machine learning model (MLM) that has been trained to detect the presence of such features in captured images and to determine location information indicating where the features are located in the captured images. The label printing module can automatically determine characteristic(s) of the printed label (e.g., the length of the printed label, markings on the printed label) based at least in part on the location information determined by the MLM.
A priming device for a fluid ejection head and a method for priming a fluid ejection head. The priming device includes a Venturi tube having a motive fluid inlet, a suction inlet, a fluid outlet, and a motive fluid source configured to provide pressurized fluid to the fluid inlet of a Venturi tube and configured to provide a reduced pressure at the suction inlet of a Venturi tube. An ejection head sealing device is provided in fluid flow communication with an ejection head of a fluid cartridge and the suction inlet of the Venturi tube.

Light pipe with uniform and segmented light outputs for barcode-reading devices
A light pipe for an electronic device, such as a barcode-reading device, can include a plurality of light-redirecting surfaces that are each positioned to receive light from a light source within the interior portion of the barcode-reading device and to redirect the light toward an optical element positioned on an exterior surface of the barcode-reading device. The plurality of light sources and the plurality of light-redirecting surfaces can collectively produce a uniform light output at the optical element when all of the plurality of light sources are activated. The light pipe can also include a plurality of optical barriers interspersed between the plurality of light-redirecting surfaces to isolate light from individual light sources. This allows for a segmented light output to be projected onto the optical element. The light pipe can be made from a flexible and resilient material, thereby allowing the light pipe to provide shock absorption.
