An improved sensor system for a printer having a print carriage comprising an ink source, a print head, and a coupler for coupling the ink source to the print head, the coupler including a tube for carrying the ink and sensors for detecting voids in the ink carried by the tubes and positioned in close proximity to the ink source and the print head. A controller is coupled to the sensors and responsive to signals therefrom to stop the print carriage when voids are simultaneously detected by the sensors. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An improved sensor system for a printer having a print carriage is provided comprising an ink source, a print head, and a coupler for coupling the ink source to the print head, the coupler including a tube for carrying the ink and sensors for detecting voids in the ink carried by the tube and positioned in close proximity to the ink source and the print head.
A controller is coupled to the sensors and responsive to signals therefrom to stop the print carriage when voids are simultaneously detected by the sensors.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings in which the presently preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example.
It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for purposes of illustration and description only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
