A hand-operated printer includes a body, a printhead mounted to the body, a target sight mounted to the body, and a display device mounted to the body. The display device is configured to display an image and a representation of the target sight in relation to the image, and wherein the relation between the representation of the target sight and the image that are displayed on the display device corresponds to a relationship between the target sight and a print position for the image.

An imaging apparatus includes a sheet separation surface positioned along the sheet feed path downstream from a media tray. A plurality of pivoting arms is mounted in the imaging apparatus. The pivoting arms are moveable between a first position and a second position. The pivoting arms are positioned and individually spaced along a width of the sheet feed path. Each of the pivoting arms has a media stack engaging surface. When the pivoting arms are in the first position, the media stack engaging surface is non-parallel to the sheet separation surface. When the plurality of pivoting arms is in the second position, the media stack engaging surface is parallel to the sheet separation surface.

An automatic edge guide assembly comprises a sheet feeding mechanism, a slide housing mounted within the sheet feeding mechanism and an edge guide slidably connected to the slide housing. The edge guide is biased by a first biasing force and a second biasing force, wherein the first force is greater than the second force, allowing for automatic edge alignment within a predetermined range of widths.

An imaging system includes an imaging apparatus having a print engine and an interface port, and an operator module configured for detachable electrical and mechanical attachment to the interface port. The operator module includes a memory device for storing data, a user interface and a dedicated power source electrically coupled to the user interface and the memory. The operator module is configured to facilitate user interaction with the imaging apparatus when the operator module is attached to the interface port. Also, the operator module is configured to facilitate portable data playback when the operator module is detached from the interface port.
摘要:
System and method for hand-held printing. The method can include detecting a direction of initial movement of the hand-held printer. The method can include establishing a mode of operation including either a left-justified mode when the direction of initial movement is left to right or a right-justified mode when the direction of initial movement is right to left. The method can include maintaining the mode of operation for an entire print job.

An imaging apparatus includes a print engine having a print zone. A print media feed system transports a sheet of print media in a media feed direction along a media feed path through the print zone. The print media feed system includes a plurality of exit rollers positioned across a width of the media feed path. Each of a plurality of pressure rollers engages a respective one of the plurality of exit rollers to define a plurality of exit nips. A support structure mounts the plurality of exit rollers and the plurality of pressure rollers. The support structure positions the plurality of exit nips in an arrangement to define a transverse path across the width of the media feed path in the direction transverse to the media feed direction, the transverse path having a central portion and elevated portions on each side of the central portion.
摘要:
A portable printing device is described that monitors a print progress as an image is printed and generates an alert when an image has finished printing. Methods of detecting an end-of-image condition are described as are a variety of alert systems that notify the user that he or she has completed printing of an image.
