Abstract

A device for filling a print head (100) of an inkjet printer consists of a holder (4) with a sealing member (7), into which holder the print head (100) can be inserted with little play. The sealing member (7) is directed towards a nozzle plate (103) arranged on the underside of the housing (101) and is brought into sealing contact by means of a retaining member (5) which acts on an edge of the housing of the print head (100). Furthermore, a needle carrier (18) with a needle (17) is present, which can be fitted onto the print head (100) or the holder (4). The needle (17) penetrates via a bore (106) in the print head (100) into an ink supply compartment located inside the print head (100). A refilling cartridge (200) can be fitted onto the needle (17). With the aid of this device, print heads can be filled in a particularly simple and reliable manner. The filling operation proceeds automatically as soon as a closure cap (210) located on the refilling cartridge (200) is removed. <IMAGE>
