ABSTRACT:
A flexible bar connected to an actuator is suspended within an ink reservoir. The bar is preferably mounted in a cantilever or free-standing mode and vibrates in response to signals from the actuator. When the actuator signals are discontinued the bar continues to vibrate and causes the actuator to generate signals that are analyzed to determine the level of ink in the reservoir.
