ABSTRACT:
A unitary coupler and method is provided for interconnecting an ink supply with an inkjet printhead. The coupler includes a first set of latching surfaces for attaching the coupler to the printhead; a second set of latching surfaces integral with the coupler for locking engagement with an inlet valve from an off-carriage ink supply; and alignment guides at one end for receiving the inlet valve. In a preferred method the coupler is initially attached to the printhead and subsequently attached to the inlet valve from the ink supply.
