Abstract:
Methods and apparatus control the ejection of fluid from a nozzle by selectively actuating a fluid actuator that displaces and ejects fluid through an ejection orifice of the nozzle. The methods and apparatus at least partially closing the ejection orifice of the nozzle, while the fluid actuator is inactive, to reduce evaporation of the fluid.

Claim (Index 20):
The fluid ejection bar of  claim 17  further comprising a processor to:\n actuate a first fluid actuator of a first one of the nozzles to apply pressure to fluid to eject fluid from the first one of the nozzles; \n while the first fluid actuator is ejecting fluid from the first one of the nozzles, maintaining a second fluid actuator of a second one of the nozzles in an inactive state so as to not eject fluid from the second one of the nozzles; and \n while the second fluid actuator is being maintained in the inactive state, positioning the valve of the second one of the nozzles to reduce outside air flow into the fluid ejection orifice of the second one of the nozzles.
