| The Tubes System is the assembly

| |
|
-Conduct the ink pumped from the
Ink Cartridge to the Printhead.
-Conduct the air from the pump into the Ink Cartridge.
-Keep the ink in good condition until it is delivered to the Printhead.
-Avoid leaks and minimize ink on customer.

| The Tubes move back and forth inside
the volume defined by the Tube Guides. The Tube Guides are a pair
of sheet metal parts with opposing U-shaped profiles.
The Tubes are threaded inside a protective extrusion called the
Tube Carrier which consists of a base material that provides the
structure of the part, and a resistant outer part protecting the
structure. |
