Ink Supply Station (ISS)
   

In the Printer, the Ink Cartridges reside inside the Ink Supply Station (ISS). This module is situated on the left side of the machine.

The ISS includes the plastic housing that surrounds the supplies, the latch mechanism, and the fluid and electrical connections to the Ink Cartridges. It also supports the Air Pressure System (APS) that forms a replaceable module clipped under the ISS.

These are the key functions of the ISS:

 

-Ink Cartridges support and location.
-Limit creep of cartridge side walls.
-Avoid incorrect insertion of colors and inks.
-Contain ink from leaks.
-Support the Air Pressurization System (APS).
