The invention refers to a printer (24) with a housing arranged to be manually positioned on an image receiving medium (40). In order to allow easy alignment it is proposed that a window (36) is provided, such that the print face is visible through the window. Further, it is proposed that a controller of the printer is operable to detect markings (70) on the image receiving medium, the markings being scanned by means of a scanner, and that an information referring to a direction in which the printer is to be moved in order to obtain alignment between the print face and the detected markings is displayed. Further, it is proposed to use a medium with alignment marks (106), or to print alignment marks onto the medium. Finally, a base station (20") with an adjustable stop (150) for positioning a print medium is disclosed.

摘要:
A portable printer which can print on a variety of surfaces is disclosed. The printer has a number of failsafe features which improve its operation and the quality of print. In particular, printing is inhibited in a certain number of situations. Alternatively or additionally, a maintenance sequence can be implemented when the printing unit is removed from a base location. A set of absorbent strips (124) additionally or alternatively allow for the ink jet nozzles to be discharged within the print area.
