Ink Delivery System (IDS)

The Ink Delivery System (IDS) delivers ink under pressure from the large capacity off-axis ink cartridges via permanently connected tubes to the high throughput printheads for the HP DesignJet 1050C and 1055CM Printers

The IDS consists of five major subsystems:

The Ink Supply Station (ISS).

The Tubes System.

The Air Pressurization System (APS).

nThe Ink Level Sensing (ILS). The Leak Detect System (LDS).

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), with an air pump and associated tubing, an air relief valve, and a pressure sensor. The APS forms a replaceable module clipped under the ISS.

These are the key functions of the ISS:

Ink Cartridges support and location.

Limit creep of cartridge side walls.

Avoid incorrect insertion of colors and inks.

nContain ink from leaks.

Support the Air Pressurization System (APS).
