    摘要: A sheet media handling system is provided for use in supporting a sheet ejected from a wet-ink hard copy apparatus output port while ink on a preceding sheet ink an output tray is allowed time to dry before depositing the succeeding on top thereof. The system employs a pair of guides having an elongate channel therebetween which receives a predetermined side edge of an ejected sheet. The channel bends the sheet in order to stiffen the sheet along its longitudinal axis such that only one edge need be supported. Once a trailing edge of an advancing sheet is ejected from the output port, a lower guide is retracted whereby the sheet falls under the force of gravity onto the output media stack in the output tray. Several advantageous lower guide upper surface constructs are disclosed. The advantages of the use of a guide mechanism on each side of the advancing output sheets is discussed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus monitor the performance of a DDS loop connecting an information transmitter to an information receiver. The information transmitter is typically at a customer premises while the receiver is typically an OCU at the receiving local office. The DDS loop uses an alternate mark inversion communications protocol and the monitoring method and apparatus feature circuitry for determining a current imbalance on the DDS loop. The numbers of positive and negative pulses on the line are individually counted and if the count of the two counters used deviates either positively or negatively from each other by specified amounts, an error event is declared. If the error events meet a statistical timing criterion, a channel error is declared and appropriate steps are undertaken to prevent signals coming from the channel from interfering with other signals available at the local office.

    摘要: A printhead cartridge and carriage assembly (10) is provided comprising: a carriage (12); a snap-spring (62) for securing a printing cartridge (14) in postion on the carriage; and an interconnect strip (16) for supplying electrical signals to the cartridge, including a force loading spring pad (24) for urging a portion of the interconnect strip against a portion of the cartridge. The cartridge has top (32), bottom (34), sides (36, 38), front (40) and rear (42) surfaces and includes a printhead (44) on the bottom surface, an electrical contact strip (46) on the back surface connected to the printhead, referencing pads (56) on the side surface, and a lip (64) on the back surface for accepting the snap-spring. Referencing surface (60) are provided for receiving the referencing pads on the cartridge. The spring pad urges the interconnect strip against the electrical contact of the cartridge. The printhead cartridge/carriage assembly of the invention requires only one hand of the operator to both insert and lock the cartridge in position. Further, the cartridge/carriage assembly provides simultaneous alignment of the printhead in the X, Y, and Z directions. Finally, contact between the printhead and the interconnect strip is reliably made each time the cartridge is inserted and locked in position, thereby ensuring proper nozzle firing each time.

    摘要: Several problems of alignment associated with ink-jet printers are alleviated by four aspects. In the first, a reverse bow (B) in the paper (12) is created for printing on single sheets of paper. The reverse bow, which in the transverse axis of the paper, forces the paper flat against the platen (14) by using the paper's own stiffness.In the second aspect, the paper and the carriage (30) are referenced to the same part (the carriage guide (10)). In this configuration, the paper is urged against the underside of the carriage guide off of drive rollers (18), through the reverse bow, and onto the platen, where it is printed. The carriage is referenced to the carriage guide through a slider bump by means of a carriage shaft and gravity.The carraige guide comprises stiff thin sheet metal, which is closely-toleranced and has well-controlled dimensions. Thus, this part is good to reference to, rather than molded-in parts, which are not stiff enough at the required thickness. Straightness is also difficult to achieve at the required thickness with plastic parts.In the third aspect, the platen is allowed to move substantially perpendicular to the plane of the paper to accommodate thicker print media.In the fourth aspect, the platen is maintained a minimum fixed distance from the carriage guide by bumps (38) to ensure that the paper is not pinched between the carriage guide and the platen.

    摘要: A modular duplex media handling system is installable for use with a print recording system having a simplex media handling system. During first side printing a media sheet is fed along a first media path in the simplex system from feed rollers to metering rollers and into a print zone. After first side printing and prior to releasing the media sheet, the metering rollers feed the media sheet back along the first media path to the feed rollers. The feed rollers in turn feed the media sheet completely into the duplex module where the media moves along a loop path (in effect flipping the media sheet). The media sheet then is fed back to the feed rollers and along the first media path for second side printing. A humidity sensor in the duplex module signals to the print recording system whether the duplex handling system is installed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for effecting a digital communications in a tandem cross-connect of an intermediate station in a telephone system communications network to enable synchronization of the digital signals coupled between ports of the cross-connect. The method and apparatus provide center-tapped transformers at each port for coupling into the cross-connect, applying synchronizing signals to the center-tap of the transformer for raising and lowering the DC voltage of the transformer output cross-connect side without adversely affecting the signals being transmitted across the transformer coupled network, and processing received signals to identify and synchronize to repeating protocol patterns. In particular, the invention employs photo-optically coupling to the transformers to maintain electrical isolation of the synchronizing elements of the circuitry and employing the circuitry in particular in connection with synchronizing to the A and B signalling bits of a T1 protocol.

    摘要: Described herein is a printer having a printhead which traverses laterally across a sheetlike print medium and which thereby defines a laterally-extending print zone across the print medium. A paper transport mechanism in the printer has drive rollers and associated pinch wheels to drive the print medium through the printer's print zone. The paper transport mechanism further includes an upper print media guide and a lower print medium guide. The two print medium guides are shaped at their transverse ends to bow the transverse edges of the print medium downwardly to reduce its tendency to buckle upwardly into the printhead. In order to fit the upper print medium guide into the limited available space above the drive rollers, it is made of a lower molded portion for paper contact and an upper backing portion for rigidity. A pinch finger extends toward the printer's print zone beyond the pinch wheels to establish a pinch point against the drive roller in near proximity to the print zone.
