Spittoons in modern inkjet printing technology
The term spittoon lives on as the name of a component in modern-day electronic inkjet printers. Inkjet printers commonly experience a problem of drying out which blocks the flow of ink. To restore flow, it is necessary to clean the inkjet head by spraying excess ink through all the jets to reapply moisture and unblock the adjacent clogged jets.
The excess ink used for cleaning needs to be collected somewhere to avoid creating a huge mess below the printer, and so inkjet printers have a spittoon hidden inside to collect this ink.
The inkjet printer spittoon is considered an integral and permanent part of the printer which cannot be easily removed or replaced by the end-user. Most inkjet printer users do not know the spittoon even exists, or that the filling up and overflow of the spittoon can be the cause of inkjet printer failures.
Different printer manufacturers use different spittoon technology. Hewlett Packard uses a small plastic tray directly below the cleaning station and cartridge storage dock. Epson uses a large shallow tray below the entire width of the printer, and which contains an absorbent fiber pad to absorb the moisture.

Εδώ η hp χρησιμοποιεί τον όρο "δοχείο ανιχνευτή ροής" για το "drop detector spittoon"
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01636136.pdf
δηλαδή "δοχείο" για το "spittoon".

Προτείνω έναν όρο από τον οποίο μπορείς να κρατήσεις όσες λέξεις θέλεις, ανάλογα με τη θέση στο κείμενο και το πόσες φορές επαναλαμβάνεται. Αν εμφανίζεται μια φορά, όπως στο σύνδεσμο της hp, τότε θα προτιμούσα κάτι πιο περιγραφικό από το σκέτο "δοχείο".
