Chapter 1 Product Information

Technology Update

Modular Ink Delivery System

A modular ink delivery system is the separation of ink car tridges and printheads into
individual, single-color components. Traditional inkjet printers use one black and one tri­color ink cartridge, each with integrated printheads. HP’s modular ink delivery system
features four separat e ink cartr idges--o ne for each primary printing color--and four
corresponding long-life printheads, with tubes connecting the components. I nc luding the
standard and high-capacit y black ink cartr idges, t here are actually nine consumables, with
on ly eight used in the printer at o ne time.

Product Information 1-1

Technology Update

How It Works

By separating the ink cartridge from the pr intheads, a modu lar ink delivery syste m allows
the ink supply to remain in a permanent, fixed position. The printheads re main attached
to the carriage and move back and forth, delivering ink to the page as the paper advances
through the printer. Each printhead and ink cartridge is embedded with a tiny memory
device called a smart chip that recognizes and stor es t he unique operat ing characteristics
of the component to cr eate a totally integrat ed pr inting system that ensures consistent ,
high-quality printing at the lowest cost available.

A unique pressurization system maintains a constant supply of ink to the printheads.
Smart chips monitor the amount of ink used by counting every drop that passes through
each printhead. When the smart chips sense more ink is needed to maintain cont inuous
printing, a plunger in each cartridge temporarily pressurizes the cartridges to deliver more
ink to the printheads. With the modular ink delivery system, ink supply is instantly
replenished, even at top speeds.

The new, individually replaceable pr intheads ar e des igned for long life and each should
print 12,000 pages in black, 24,000 pages in color. As a result, you’ll go through many
ink cartridges before the corresponding printhead will need replacement. With their
modular design, ink cartridges contain twice the ink supply of current HP cartridges, so
you’ll also get longer lasting cartridges. When a co mponent approaches the end of its
print life, the smart chip not ifies the user through on-screen messages so a rep lacement
can be purchased prior to the part expiring.

By separating the pr intheads and ink cartridges, you only replace the co mponent t hat is
no longer usable. Pr intheads can be replaced one at a time without the need for cost ly or
extensive servicing and aren’t discarded when the ink is expended. HP printheads also use
a wet wiping system to eliminate nozzle clogging that plagues other permanent printhead
designs. Component replacement is easy. Simply pull out t he used part and snap in a
replacement.

Technology Update

The Benefit s

Cuts up to 30 percent off the printing costs of other methods



Modular design means only the component that is no longer useful is replaced.



Longer-life printheads and higher-capacity ink cartridges means less frequent

replacement.

Achieves color laser speed in a personal desktop printer



Each Printhead has 304 nozzles (1,216 total, the most in the industry) resulting in

faster pr int sp eeds.



Prints in 1/2-inch swath as opposed to the 1/5- or 1/3-inch swaths of integrated

print cartridges.



Ink cartridge pressurization system keeps constant flow of ink to printhead. Smart

chips store component information and alert user to low-ink, ink-out and
printhead failure status.

Spe cif i cati ons

The Centronics Parallel Cable has only 8 data lines, 5 status lines, 4 ground lines and
ground connections bet ween t he host PC and the peripheral. Each of the signal lines has a
correspond ing bit posit ion in a memor y address (register) in the host where data is read or
written. Sending data to the printer follows the sequence below:



Host places data in Data Out register



Host sends pulse on Strobe line



Printer sends pulse on Bus y in re sp onse to pulse on Strobe



Printer reads data on Data Out lines



Printer sends pu lse on ACK (Ackno wledge) line after data is read

This method of data transfer is also known as the Compatibility mode and the transfer
rate of data is slow. The printer while operating in compatibility mode is capable of
indicating limited printer error feedback to t he host computer. Su ch feedback includes:

mode and return the link to the Centronics (uni-directional) mode

The 1284 compliant cable supports the ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) mode in the
transfer of data. The ECP protocol includes a series of protocols that differ from standard
Centronics para llel port operation. These add it ional signaling methods a llow the host and
peripheral to negotiate any of faster transfer modes (e.g. DMA, FIFO and RLE
decompression). The protocol is hardware driven and the performance is limited by the
ISA bus bandwidth. The primary advantage is that once data transfer is negotiated, data
can flow without t he need of an ackno wledge or a return stat us signal. This ca n r e sult in a
transfer rate of up to 10 times faster than that of the compatibility mode that the
Centronics parallel cable supports.

To transfer data, the host first goes through a negotiation phase, which allows the host
and peripheral to select a mutually-supported communications mode. During the
negotiation phase, the host indicates which communication mode and options it would
like to use via the Extensibility Request Value. If the peripheral device does not support
the requested mode or options, it sets the Extensibility Flag low and the interface returns
to Compatibil ity Mode.
