d) Pump
The pump is a tube pump type that applies the pressure of turning rollers to the ink
tube to create negative pressure for sucking ink. Applying the pressure of two
turning rollers alternately allows greater control over the amount of ink to be
sucked, and helps to reduce the size of the pump unit. With two similar pumps set
to turn in opposite directions, changing the rotational direction of the drive gear
allows the individual BJ cartridges installed in the carriage to be cleaned separately.
The amount of roller turning and the timing of turning are detected and controlled
by the pump sensor.
e) Maintenance jet splash guard
The maintenance jet splash guard receives the maintenance jet ink (test discharge to
maintain the nozzle) directly into the waste ink absorber through the hole by the
side of the platen.
