PRINT MEDIA EDGE REPAIR
20170341422 · 2017-11-30 ·

Examples described herein include a print media edge repair system that includes a first repair element disposed adjacent to a media handling path to repair a leading edge of a sheet of print media as the sheet of print media moves into a position relative to a printing system associated with the print media edge repair system. The print media repair system may also include a second repair element disposed opposite the first repair element across the media handling path to repair a trailing edge of the sheet of print media as the sheet of print media moves into the position relative to a printing system.

A printer, comprising: a printing part; a conveying mechanism to send out a print medium from a medium roll around which the print medium is wound, the conveying mechanism comprising a correcting mechanism to correct curl of the print medium in a winding direction by curving the print medium in a reverse direction of the winding direction; and a controller configured to: store a finish time of the printing; obtain a start time when next printing is started; determine whether an elapsed time elapsed from the finish time to the start time is longer than a particular time; when the elapsed time is longer than the particular time, cause the conveying mechanism to convey the print medium by a particular length which is longer than a length between the correcting mechanism and the printing part; and cause the printing part to perform the printing.

Cassette provided with guide for correcting curling behavior of tape

A cassette includes: a tape roll rotatable about an axis extending in a first direction; a tape conveying passage; and first and second guides positioned at the tape conveying passage. The tape roll is a roll of a tape. The tape is conveyed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction along the tape conveying passage. The first guide and the second guide are configured to guide widthwise edges of the tape in the first direction. The first guide has a first end surface and the second guide has a second end surface facing the first end surface in the first direction. The first end surface and the second end surface provide a distance therebetween in the first direction smaller than a widthwise length of the tape in the first direction.

A printer includes a reverse bending member that bends a paper toward an opposite side to a curl of the paper, and a bifurcated member to correct the curl of the paper with the reverse bending member. The reverse bending member is disposed between a paper drawing position and a paper feeding roller. The bifurcated member is swingably arranged about a shaft extending in a width direction of the paper. The bifurcated member includes an upstream arm and a downstream arm. The upstream arm has a tip positioned between the rolled paper and the reverse bending member, and moves toward or from the reverse bending member. The downstream arm has a tip positioned between the reverse bending member and the feeding roller to be in contact with the paper, and rotates in accordance with a tension level of the paper to press the upstream arm toward the reverse bending member.

Inkjet print media conditioner

An inkjet printing system may include an inkjet printing device, a print media finishing device, and a conditioner selectively coupled within a housing of the print media finishing device and in alignment with a print media exit of the inkjet printing device where the conditioner includes a number of heated pressure rollers to condition the print media prior to introduction into the print media finishing device.

Output tension zones

In one example, an output tension zone can include a first tension roller assembly to receive partially dried inkjet media at an output of a heated pressure roller, wherein the first tension roller assembly includes a first continuous roller to receive a first side of the partially dried inkjet media and a second continuous roller to receive a second side of the partially dried inkjet media and a second tension roller assembly to receive the partially dried inkjet media from the first tension roller assembly, wherein the second tension roller assembly includes a third continuous roller to receive the first side of the partially dried inkjet media and a fourth continuous roller to receive the second side of the partially dried inkjet media.

PRINTING APPARATUS

A printing apparatus includes: a roll sheet container that contains a roll sheet around which a recording sheet is wound; a first sheet guide that makes contact with a first surface of the recording sheet; a second sheet guide that makes contact with a second surface of the recording sheet; and a transport roller that transports the recording sheet. The first and second sheet guides are disposed so as to face each other to form a sheet route along which the recording sheet is to pass. The transport roller transports the recording sheet that passed along the sheet route. The second sheet guide includes: a projection that protrudes toward the roll sheet container; and a pushing section that extends from the projection along an outer circumference of the roll sheet and in a direction away from the first sheet guide.

Printer

A printer includes a first route to which a sheet from a roll paper is to be fed, a drive roller arranged on the first route and capable of sending the sheet, an image forming part (thermal printer head), a second route branched from the first route, a route changer for switching a route of the sheet, a curl corrector provided on the second route, and a cutter (cutting unit) provided on the first route. The curl corrector is configured to form the route with a curl correction roller and a guide member, and an advancing direction of the route is changeable 100 degrees or more when the sheet passes through the curl corrector.
