摘要:
A printer/plotter having multiple printheads which move in the given scan direction to apply a swath of images to media which is periodically advanced in a media feed direction, comprises carriage means (34) for holding multiple printheads (C1, C2) which are each separately removable from said carriage means; first mounting means on the carriage means (34) for holding a first printhead (C2) a predetermined distance from the media (27); second mounting means on the carriage means (34) for holding a second printhead (C1) substantially the same predetermined distance from the media (27), said second mounting means holding said second printhead (C1) in a position displaced from said first printhead (C2) in the media feed direction (X) such that the width of a swath printed by both said first and second printheads is greater than a swath printed by only one of said first and second printheads.
摘要:
A print carriage assembly for an ink jet printer. The print carriage assembly includes a print carriage (40) slidably supported on a printer slider rod (31), and a sub-carriage (50, 150) that is separate from the printer carriage and slidably supported on the printer slider rod for pushing the printer carriage.
摘要:
A printing media feed and retaining apparatus particularly useful in a computer driven thermal ink jet printer/plotter which has a plurality of pinch rollers (20) mounted on a single pinch roller support member (25). One or more support members (25) are positioned adjacent a platen roller (10) in proximity to the print path. The pinch rollers (20) are retracted away from the platen roller for removing the print medium and are supported such that they are self centering and track without skewing or damaging the printing medium without the use of precision parts or mounting techniques.
