Development of a High-Resolution Thermal Inkjet Printer55
The HP DeskJet printer's 300-dot-per-inch resolution is fundamental to its ability to produce laser quality output.

Integrating the Printhead into the HP DeskJet Printer62
The printerhead support systems provide signals to energize the ink-firing resistors, electrical connections to the pen, a carriage to hold and move the pen, and elements to protect and maintain the pen.
J. Paul Harmon, John A. Widder
DeskJet Printer Chassis and Mechanism Design67
One mechanism moves the carriage while another uses a single motor to pick, feed, and eject paper and prime the pen. The polycarbonate chassis supports everything.
Larry A. Jackson, Kieran B. Kelly, David W. Pinkernell, Steve O. Rasmussen, John A. Widder
Data to Dots in the HP DeskJet Printer76
A microprocessor-controlled custom IC manipulates dot data to provide double-width, half-width, comressed, half-height, draft-quality, bold, underlined, and tall characters, and graphics, too.
