Dell 720 Inkjet Printer
Function
The dell printer is designed to print ink onto papers. This is a cheaper version of a printer and is often given out by dell free with the purchase of a computer bundle.
How The Printer Works
The Primary function of the printer is to spray the ink onto the paper in distinguishable patterns.
This is accomplished by:
1. Feeding in the paper.
2. Moving the ink jets laterally.
3. Spraying the ink onto the paper.
4. Feeding the paper out of the system.

Lets Head to the Computer
After looking at the components that make up a printer we modeled two of the components to healp us quantitativly verify how the printer works.
The Slider Mechanism
One motion of the printer that can be modeled and explored is the action of the inkjet acriss the paper. This is shown below modeled with the inkjet, the rod it slides along, the motor and the belt that controlls the motion.
