Abstract: The ink jet printer comprises a printhead movable in front of a printing medium and provided with an ink cartridge integral with it; the cartridge is filled with ink from a main, high capacity tank, which is connected at intervals to the cartridge by means of a capillary element. During each connection, the capillary element is brought into contact with the sponge inside the cartridge, while a peristaltic pump mounted integral upon the main tank provides a pressure suitable for generating a sufficient flow of ink to refill the cartridge in a short time frame. To perform the refilling, the cartridge is brought at the end of its stroke into a service station mounted on the body of the main tank, which is moved against the cartridge by means of a motor-driven linkage, controlled by a refilling management programme, in response to the signals of a cartridge ink level sensor.

Abstract: A bale wrapper comprises a rotating arm (30) holding a film dispenser (32). The arm (30) rotates around an axis thereby wraps the film (52) from the film dispenser (32) around the bale (22'). Rotation of the arm (30) is stopped when a sensing arrangement mounted ahead of the arm (30) senses an obstacle. The arm (30) is driven with a first speed sufficiently slow to prevent any risk of injury and the arm (30) and the film dispenser (32) from getting damaged by hitting an obstacle detected by the sensing arrangement when an obstacle sensor (48) observing a sensitive range (50) in the environment of the bale wrapper (10) detects an obstacle. On the other hand, the arm (30) is rotating with a second speed faster than the first speed when the obstacle sensor (48) detects no obstacle.
