Abstract:
In an ink jet serial printer, a drop collector has horizontal and vertical collector sections or gutters. Unused drops are diverted in the direction of motion during uniform velocity of the ink jet head into the vertical section and into the horizontal section during acceleration/deceleration portions of head motion. A bias potential applied to the vertical drop deflector is removed during acceleration/deceleration to cause unused drops to be directed to the horizontal collector section.
