ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printer maintenance system includes a manifold having an air removal passageway communicating with an ink reservoir, a valve in the manifold actuatable for opening and closing the air removal passageway for periodically drawing out air from the flow of ink in the ink reservoir and a valve actuator in the form of an electrically conductive wire sensitive to change in temperature. In response to application of electric current, and termination of application of electric current, the wire correspondingly contracts and extends in length causing the opening and permitting the closing of the air removal passageway by the valve.
