Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0813974A2] A larger print width print head apparatus for an ink jet printer comprises a droplet generating means and a means for providing fluid to the droplet generating means. The apparatus further comprises a means for charging and collecting drops from the droplet generating means and a means for providing data signals to the means for charging and collecting drops. The apparatus further comprises a two-member housing means containing the print head apparatus with removable ink jet components so that failed ink jet components can be returned to a central refurbishment center without sending all the associated electronics. <IMAGE>
