摘要:
This invention is a thermal printing device having a print mechanism (12) which includes a platen roller assembly (24) in combination with a movable print head assembly (25). Further aspects of the present invention include a switch mechanism and a tape supply cartridge (26) with switch activation/deactivation members (59) for automatically facilitating adjustment of print parameters to match tape supply upon insertion of the cartridge (26).
摘要:
A printer includes a supply shaft wound with unused film including contrast agent, a winding shaft wound with used film including used contrast agent, rotation-speed detector for detecting a rotation speed of the supply shaft, and remaining-amount detector for determining an amount of unused film from the detected rotation speed detected. In the printer, the remaining amount of unused film such as ink film, roll paper or the like can be determined accurately.
摘要:
A printing system (8) includes a printing machine (150) and media cartridge (10). The printing machine (150) has a housing (152), a printing mechanism (154) and a processing unit connected to the housing, a media cartridge interface (160) connecting the media cartridge (10) to the printing machine (150), and a look-up table for storing media cartridge parameters. The media cartridge (10) has a media support (70) for a media source (130), and a printed circuit board (30). The printed circuit (30) has a plurality of conductive traces (36a) with fusible links (38a) connected together in a circuit pattern on at least one of its sides. The circuit pattern includes an encoding of at least one media cartridge parameter that may be stored in the look-up table of the printing machine (150).
