ABSTRACT:
A module for a printing composition delivery system of a printing device that is a separable unit from the printing composition delivery system is disclosed. An embodiment of the module includes a printing composition supply station connector, a printing member connector, and a flexible conduit. The printing composition supply station connector is releasably attached to a printing composition supply station of the printing composition delivery system and has a coupler fluidly connectable to a printing composition supply of the printing composition supply station. The printing member connector is releasably attached to the printing device and has a coupler fluidly connectable to the printing member. The flexible conduit includes a first end fluidly connected to the coupler of the printing composition supply station connector and a second end fluidly connected to the coupler of the printing member connector to supply printing composition from the printing composition supply to the printing member. The module may additionally include a housing covering a portion of the coupler of the printing member connector and enclosing a portion of the flexible conduit adjacent the printing member connector. The printing composition supply station connector, the printing member connector, the flexible conduit, and the housing, if present, are a separable unit from the printing composition delivery system. A method of installing and removing the module is also disclosed.
