Interconnect scheme for mounting differently configured print heads on the same carriage.

摘要

A printer/plotter having a carriage (50) for removably mounting a plurality of printheads, with one type of printhead (64) such as a wider swath higher resolution black inkjet cartridge having one type of electrical interconnect and another type of printhead (40) such as a narrower swath lower resolution color inkjet cartridge having a different type of electrical interconnect. The carriage includes differently configured flex-circuit conductive assemblies (62; 54,56,58) for each different type of electrical interconnect without having to change the datum configuration of the cartridges mounted in the carriage. <IMAGE>
