==HEAD REPLACEMENT METHOD, INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING HEAD REPLACEMENT SUPPORT PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452859 titled 'HEAD REPLACEMENT METHOD, INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING HEAD REPLACEMENT SUPPORT PROGRAM

==Simplified Explanation==

The head replacement method involves the following steps:

* Pipe connection step: User connects a new head to the system.
* Ink circulation start step: Initiate ink circulation in the flow path.
* Connection state determination step: Determine if the pipe connections are properly made based on ink liquid level positions in tanks.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Printing industry for replacing printer heads efficiently.
* Manufacturing sector for inkjet printing equipment maintenance.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Ensures proper connection of new printer heads.
* Prevents ink leakage due to improper connections.

Benefits of this technology:

* Increases efficiency in printer head replacement.
* Reduces downtime for maintenance tasks.

Potential commercial applications of this technology:

* "Efficient Head Replacement Method for Printing Equipment" in the printing industry.

Possible prior art:

There may be existing methods for printer head replacement, but the specific approach outlined in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered questions:

1. How does this method compare to traditional printer head replacement techniques?
2. Are there any specific ink circulation systems that work best with this method?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The head replacement method includes: a pipe connection step of performing, by a user, pipe connection of a new head; an ink circulation start step of starting circulation of ink in a circulation flow path; and a connection state determination step of determined, based on an ink liquid level position representing a height of an ink liquid level in at least one of a collection tank and a supply tank, whether a pipe connection, including a connection between an ink discharge pipe and a collection branch pipe and a connection between an ink inflow pipe and a supply branch pipe, is properly made.
