A media feed appliance can include a media pull guide to guide a print medium through a path while the print medium is manually pulled through the media feed appliance. The media feed appliance can also include a drive gear that is manually driven using frictional contact with the print medium while the print medium is pulled over a surface of the drive gear. The media feed appliance can also include a printer positioning port to position a manually actuatable printer to print on the print medium, wherein the drive gear of the media feed appliance is positioned to mechanically engage with a printer gear when the manually actuatable printer is docked at the port.

A printing device and method is described comprising: controlling movement of a printing medium along a printing medium path to position the printing medium relative to at least one printhead to allow printing on the printing medium by the at least one printhead; and applying a plurality of respective elastic forces in a direction substantially perpendicular to the printing medium path, wherein the respective elastic forces are applied by a plurality of elastic elements of a modular assembly arranged laterally across a width of the printing medium path, wherein the printing medium acts against the elastic forces of the respective elastic elements of the modular assembly.

An apparatus, system and method for providing an automated contact cutter. The contact cutter includes a contact reel holder for holding therein a bandoleer comprising a plurality of stamped contacts; at least an inlet roller comprising an inlet pin, a turn roller, and a receiving roller mechanically connected by at least one motor drive belt to a drive motor, wherein the inlet roller is capable of receiving an end portion of the bandoleer onto the inlet pin for loading; a cutter between the turn roller and the receiving roller that is capable of cutting ones of the stamped contacts from the bandoleer for picking by a pick and place robot; and a comb capable of combing at least the bandoleer and cut and partially cut ones of the stamped contacts.
