A tip to be placed on a fluid-ejection device is filled with fluid. The fluid may be introduced into a substantially hollow body of the tip at a first end of the body. The body of the tip has a second end at which a fluid-ejection mechanism is disposed to eject the fluid as controlled by the fluid-ejection device. The fluid may be introduced into the substantially hollow body of the tip through of the fluid-ejection mechanism disposed at the second end of the body of the tip. The tip may further...

A hand-held printer includes an elongate body defining an ink ejection slot through which ink can be ejected. An ink cartridge defines a plurality of ink reservoirs for storing respective types of ink. A printhead module defines a plurality of ink distribution channels in fluid communication with respective reservoirs. The printhead module includes a printhead in fluid communication with the ink distribution channels and mounted within the body so that ink can be ejected through the ink ejection...

A printhead of a mobile telecommunications device with an array of nozzles for printing a media substrate; a capper assembly movable between a capped position coveting the nozzles and an uncapped position spaced from the nozzles; wherein, the capper assembly is held in the uncapped position by the media such that it moves to the capped position upon disengagement with the media.

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit for effecting recording on a recording medium, and a conveying unit for conveying the recording medium. The recording apparatus further includes a power input terminal adapted to be switched ON/OFF by the ignition key switch of an automobile, and a controller for executing the operation sequence of the recording apparatus in accordance with the ON/OFF state of the power input terminal. In addition, a method of controlling the above-described record...

A manually moveable printer (20) is designed to print onto a page of print media (20) as a user swipes (21) the printer across the page. The printer has a printhead arrangement, which includes a number of ink ejection nozzles. The printer has a speed sensor designed to measure the speed at which the printhead arrangement is moved relative to the print media and to generate speed data. The printer also has a print controller designed to receive image data from an image source, convert the image d...

An apparatus includes a print chassis supporting a print engine within a chassis structure, and a handle engaged with the print chassis to move both the print chassis and the print engine in a first direction and a second direction, wherein the second direction is substantially orthogonal to the first direction.

A modular printing device includes a chassis that defines a print media feed path. A housing encloses the chassis and defines feed and discharge openings to and from the print media feed path. The chassis and the housing are elongate and pen-like in size. A feed mechanism is mounted on the chassis to feed sheets of print media along the print media feed path. A pagewidth inkjet printhead is mounted on the chassis to carry out a printing operation on the sheets of print media. A controller is mou...

The invention relates to a sensor and ink-jet print-head assembly comprised in a housing for a hand-held and hand-operated printing device controlled by a processor, and a method therefore. It provides a control for navigation with coordinate systems and angles on a print medium that preferably is bigger than the assembly.

A handheld computing device includes a body with a user interface and processing circuitry. A pagewidth inkjet printer is arranged within the body. A display is mounted on the body and is connected to the processing circuitry. A pivot assembly is interposed between the body and the display to permit the display to be pivoted with respect to the body. The display is connected to the processing circuitry via the pivot assembly. The pivot assembly includes a hinge joint and a closure that bound a r...

A digital camera includes an image capture assembly, roll of print media and microelectromechanical stationary printhead. Upon capturing an image a central processing integrated circuit operates the printhead and associated transport assembly to print the captured image. A guillotine is provided to automatically severe each print. The guillotine operates a counter in order that an operator of the digital camera is able to keep track of how much print media remains on the roll.
