Flushing Cartridge

Component Layout

The flushing cartridge supplies cleaning liquid to the web during web wiping.

Cleaning Liquid Supply Mechanism

The supply of cleaning liquid from the flushing cartridge [A] to the web [B] is driven by the maintenance unit cleaning liquid supply motor [C].

An ID chip is attached to the bottom of the flushing cartridge. The ID chip stores information including new/used detection, lot number and amount of remaining cleaning liquid.

Set detection of the flushing cartridge is done when the cleaning liquid set sensor detects the ID chip.
