Chapter 6 Functional Overview Writing System Introduction The ink transport system for the HP 2500C consists of four sub-systems as follows: § Supply Station (where the ink supply is stored) § Ink Delivery System (which transports the ink from the supply station to the printheads) § Carriage Assembly (which moves the printheads from the service station across the paper) § Service Station (which maintains the printheads between print jobs) The ink, stored in the supply station in replaceable ink cartridges, is carried by the ink delivery system to the carriage assembly and stops in the printheads. The service station cleans the printheads and collects excess ink expelled by the printheads as they are readied for use at the beginning of each printing session, and when cleaning routines are selected from the Service menu. The Service Station also caps and stores the printheads between printing sessions to prevent the printhead's nozzles from drying out. Functional Overview 6-1
