Abstract: A printing system comprises a print fluid deposition assembly, a media transport device, and an air flow control system. The print fluid deposition assembly comprises a carrier plate and a printhead arranged to eject a print fluid through an opening of the carrier plate to a deposition region. The media transport device comprises a movable support surface to transport a print medium along a process direction through the deposition region, the media transport device holding the print medium against the movable support surface by vacuum suction. The air flow control system is arranged to selectively flow air through the opening of the carrier plate between the carrier plate and the printhead based on a location of a print medium transported by the media transport device relative to the printhead.

The print fluid deposition assembly comprises a printhead to eject a print fluid through an opening of a carrier plate to a deposition region. The media transport device holds a print medium against the movable support surface by vacuum suction and transports the print medium through the deposition region. The air flow control system is to flow air through the carrier plate to the movable support surface via a port through the carrier plate on an inboard side the carrier plate and to control a flow rate of the air flowed through the port based on a size of a print medium transported by the media transport device.

Abstract: A system and method provide automated identification mechanisms that facilitate efficiencies in inventory monitoring, management and control, including reducing labor costs associated with product placement, product inventorying, and shelf stocking/re-stocking in retail marketing scenarios, and advising consumers/customers regarding product pricing, promotional, nutritional and other information. Near field communication or other similar identification devices are embedded in retail-ready composite packaging. The embedded communication and identification devices provide identification information regarding the product with which the packaging is associated to a wireless reader device as a retailer's employee walks by a set of shelves stocked with an assortment of such packaged products. Mechanisms are included for tracking the addition or removal of items from the retail-ready container. These other mechanisms include establishing communication between a printed antenna in the retail-ready container and a magnet in the label of each individual item that generate a voltage spike when passed by the antenna.

Abstract translation: 系统和方法提供自动识别机制，促进库存监控，管理和控制的效率，包括降低与零售行销方案中的产品放置，产品库存和货架放养/重新放货相关的劳动力成本，以及向消费者/客户咨询产品 定价，促销，营养等信息。 近场通信或其他类似的识别设备嵌入在零售就绪复合包装中。 嵌入式通信和识别设备提供关于与无线阅读器设备相关联的产品的识别信息，因为零售商的员工通过一组存储有各种这样的包装产品的货架行走。 包括用于跟踪从零售容器中添加或删除物品的机制。 这些其他机制包括建立零售就绪容器中的印刷天线与通过天线时产生电压尖峰的每个单独项目的标签中的磁体之间的通信。
