Ink Supply Station (ISS)
In the Printer, the Ink Cartridges reside inside the Ink Supply Station
(ISS). This module is situated on the left side of the machine.
The ISS includes the plastic housing that surrounds the supplies, the
latch mechanism, and the fluid and electrical connections to the Ink
Cartridges. It also supports the Air Pressure System (APS) that
forms a replaceable module clipped under the ISS.
These are the key functions of the ISS:
n Ink Cartridges support and location.
n Limit creep of cartridge side walls.
n Avoid incorrect insertion of colors and inks.
n Contain ink from leaks.
n Support the Air Pressurization System (APS).
Tubes System
The Tubes System is the assembly that performs these functions:
n Conduct the ink pumped from the Ink Cartridge to the Printhead.
n Conduct the air from the pump into the Ink Cartridge.
n Keep the ink in good condition until it is delivered to the
Printhead.
n Avoid leaks and minimize ink on customer.
