Patent ID: 8162443

Claim:
A method of ejecting droplets of liquid from a paired drop ejector, the method comprising the steps of: providing a chamber having a dividing wall that forms a first and second portion and the first portion includes a first nozzle mated with a first heater and the second portion includes a second nozzle mated with a second heater; providing liquid to the first portion and second portions of the chamber through an open end of the chamber; providing a first electrical pulse to the first heater to provide thermal energy for ejecting a droplet of liquid from the first nozzle; providing a second electrical pulse to the second heater to provide thermal energy for ejecting a droplet of liquid from the second nozzle; wherein the second electrical pulse is delayed relative to the first electrical pulse by a predetermined delay time; and selecting the predetermined delay time such that the ejecting of a droplet of liquid from the second nozzle facilitates refilling of liquid into the first portion of the enclosure.
