ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary droplet catcher and a method for its use in an ink jet printing apparatus of the type having charge and deflection electrodes to respectively charge selected droplets and then deflect the selected charge droplets from a normal droplet flight path towards a primary droplet catching structure. The auxiliary droplet catcher is mounted for reciprocal movements between retracted and advanced positions and is moved into the advanced position in response to a control system sensing an inability of the charge and/or deflection electrodes to respectively charge and/or deflect the selected droplets, thereby preventing flooding of a print medium.
