Abstract

UN APARATO DE GRABACION DE CHORRO DE TINTA CONSTA DE UN PORTADOR MOVIBLE EN UNA DIRECCION DADA CON UN CABEZAL DE GRABACION QUE SE MONTA POR SEPARADO SOBRE ESTE Y PROPORCIONA LUMBRERAS DE DESCARGA PARA DESCARGAR EL LIQUIDO. EL APARATO SE MONTA PARA INCLUIR UN SENSOR PARA DETECTAR LA PRESENCIA O AUSENCIA DEL PORTADOR, DEL CABEZAL DE GRABACION Y DE AL MENOS UNO DE LOS CONTENEDORES DE TINTA. ESTE SENSOR SE PROPORCIONA PARA EL CUERPO PRINCIPAL DEL APARATO Y SE POSICIONA DENTRO DEL RANGO MOVIBLE DEL PORTADOR. CON ESTA DISPOSICION ES POSIBLE SIMPLIFICAR LA ESTRUCTURA REQUERIDA PARA DETECTAR SI ESTOS ELEMENTOS VITALES PARA GRABACION ESTAN INSTALADOS O NO SIN NINGUNA MEMORIA O FUENTE DE POTENCIA AUXILIAR.
