Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

B41J 2165

US Classification:

347 33

Abstract:

A cleaning system and method for an optical apparatus of a printer. A heating apparatus and a cleaning apparatus are provided in the printer to dry deposits on an optical surface of the optical apparatus and to remove them through mechanical engagement. In an inkjet printer, these deposits are typically stray aerosol ink droplets. In some embodiments the optical apparatus is movable, while the cleaning apparatus is fixed; in other embodiments the cleaning apparatus is movable, while the optical apparatus is fixed; in still other embodiments both apparatuses are movable. The cleaning apparatus typically includes a wiper, brush, scraper, or pad. The optical apparatus typically includes one or more optical elements such as a light source, a light sensor, and a lens. The heating apparatus, which may be operated intermittantly or continuously, may be an heat or light source external to the optical apparatus and positionable in thermal proximity to it for drying the deposits; alternatively, the heating apparatus may be on or within the optical apparatus, or internal to one of the optical elements.
