Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0805046A2] A printhead mounting system is used to install an ink jet printhead in a continuous ink jet printing system. The mounting system comprises a printhead nest for mating with the resonator assembly of the printhead; latch means associated with the printhead nest for securing the printhead to the printhead nest when the printhead nest mates with the resonator assembly; and a snap and lock mechanism associated with fluid inlet and outlet lines and a catcher outlet line, the fluid inlet and outlet lines each having an internal check valve feature, to prevent fluid leakage. <IMAGE>
