Method for determining storage container for printing technology liquid

The invention relates to a method for automatically determining a first storage container (5) for a first printing liquid, which can be coupled to a circuit (1), depending on a cross-sectional area (A) of the first storage container (5), the cross-sectional area being calculated according to a formula, the formula has, as terms, a known cross-sectional area (AWast) of the waste container (7) that can be coupled to the circuit (1) and a drop in height ([Delta] h) of the liquid level in the first storage container (5) caused by pumping the printing technology liquid into the circuit (1) and measured by the sensor. 本发明涉及一种用于根据第一储存容器(5)的横截面积(A)自动确定能够与回路(1)耦合的、用于第一印刷技术液体的第一储存容器(5)的方法，其中所述横截面积根据公式计算，该公式具有能够与回路(1)耦合的废物容器(7)的已知横截面积(AWaste)和由于将印刷技术液体泵入到回路(1)中引起的并且通过传感器测量的第一储存容器(5)中的液面的高度降(Δh)作为项。
