ABSTRACT:
A printer has an integrated circuit forming the printhead. A substrate includes drive circuitry and a nozzle structure operated by the drive circuitry. A nozzle actuator for ejecting ink is formed from a lever mechanism having an end disposed in a nozzle chamber. A signal from the drive circuitry causes lever movement of the lever mechanism to forcibly eject ink from the nozzle chamber.
