20230056859 · 2023-02-23 ·

According to one embodiment, an image processing device includes a cassette main body, a device main body, a handle, and a pressing member. The cassette main body contains a sheet. The device main body stores the cassette main body retractably in a first direction. The handle is displaceably supported by the cassette main body. The pressing member is supported by the cassette main body. The pressing member presses the device main body in a second direction opposite to the first direction in conjunction with displacement of the handle with respect to the cassette main body.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for improving printing precision

Various embodiments disclose a method for operating a printer apparatus that includes a print head. The method includes causing a media hub to retract a media in a retract direction along a media path. Further, the method includes causing a first media sensor to generate a first signal during retraction of the media. Furthermore, the method includes monitoring the first signal to detect at least one of a leading edge or a trailing edge of a label of the plurality of labels. Upon detecting the at least one of the leading edge or the trailing edge of the label, causing the media hub to retract the media by at least a predetermined distance, wherein the predetermined distance is a distance between the print head and the first media sensor.

METHOD FOR SCHEDULING PRINTING OF DIGITAL IMAGES FROM AT LEAST ONE INPUT ROLL TO AT LEAST ONE OUTPUT ROLL IN A ROLL-TO-ROLL PRINTING SYSTEM

A method for printing digital images on at least one input roll of media in order to form at least one output roll by means of a roll-to-roll printing system is disclosed. The roll-to-roll printing system includes a digital image queue including an entry for each digital image to be printed. The method includes registering in an entry of the digital image queue a first digital item identifying the digital image and digital items of print properties of the digital image, printing the digital image according to the order of the entry in the digital image queue, and registering in the entry a second digital item identifying an input roll on which the digital image is going to be printed and a third digital item identifying an output roll on which the printed digital image is going to be wound. A roll-to-roll printing system is configured to apply the method.
