METHOD OF CONTROLLING A FLUID FIRING UNIT OF A PRINTHEAD

摘要

The present disclosure discloses a method implemented by a printer (100) to control a fluid firing unit (135) of a printhead (130), when said printhead (130) is coupled to the printer (100), to operate according to any one of a normal printing mode and a recovery mode. According to the method, if the fluid firing unit (135) is operated according to the normal printing mode, a first voltage is applied to the fluid firing unit (135) to fire the fluid firing unit (135) during a printing operation; and if the fluid firing unit (135) is operated according to the recovery mode, a second voltage higher than the first voltage is applied to the fluid firing unit (135) to clean the fluid firing unit (135).
