Embodiment Construction

[0012] A detailed description will be made below with reference to the above-mentioned figures. The description of the preferred embodiments illustrates the invention without limiting its scope, which is defined in the claims. Those skilled in the art will recognize a series of equivalent changes in the following description.

[0013] overview

[0014] This disclosure describes various embodiments of a system for providing media protection in image forming equipment, such as a continuous feed printing press. The medium moves along a medium channel which has a device for conveying the continuous medium. During transport, the heating element heats the media and ink droplets deposited on the media along the way to form a pattern on the media.

[0015] For descriptive purposes, the present invention is discussed with respect to a continuous feed printing system, however, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the teachings disclosed in this invention can be applied to an...

Abstract

A system for protecting media in an image-forming device. The system includes a heating element for heating the media, and a media path adjacent to the heating element. The media is transported in the image-forming device along the media path. The system also includes a barrier assembly having one or more non-flammable restraint threads and a spring-tensioned positioner. The restraint threads are mounted between the heating element and the media path, and the spring-tensioned positioner assembly maintains the restraint thread in a fixed position.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to continuous feed printing environments and, more specifically, to media handling during printing. Background technique [0002] Continuous feed (CF) presses print on a strip / roll of paper that is divided into individual pages after printing. CF printing systems are used in many industries such as banks, insurance companies and print shops to print items such as forms, invoices and the like. These systems are generally capable of printing at high speeds with low registration errors. [0003] A typical CF printing system transports large quantities of paper along its media path. The "medium path" refers to the path of the medium such as paper passing through the imaging system. In a CF system, the medium passage includes, for example, shafts, rollers, transfer devices, etc., all of which are used to transport the medium through the system. [0004] Along the media channel, the media imaged with...
