A printer device includes a housing () that defines an interior space. A platform () includes a first position extending along a plane within the interior space for receiving media to be printed with fluid. A mechanism () selectively applies a force to the platform () to move the platform () to a second position at an angle relative to the plane.

Pivotable ink cartridge platform for printer device

A method of detecting orifice health includes moving a cap support into a drop detect position wherein a light source mounted on the cap support is positioned adjacent an array of fluid ejecting orifices, from the light source, projecting a light beam adjacent to the array of fluid ejecting orifices, ejecting at least one fluid drop from the array and through the light beam, and detecting scattered light from the at least one ejected fluid drop.

Orifice health detection device and method

An orifice health detection device includes a fixed array of ink ejecting orifices, the ink ejecting orifices configured to eject at least one ink drop, a light source that produces a light beam configured to scatter light from the at least one ejected ink drop, and a light detector configured to detect light scattered from the at least one ejected ink drop.
