In a device for removing toner or similar substance deposited on a recording sheet or similar sheet, projections are formed on a back-up member and located at portions on which the rear of a separating member slide. While a sheet is passed through a pressing portion in contact with the separating member, the projections raise the rear of the separating member toward the surface of the sheet carrying the toner. Hence, even solitary particles of the substance adjoining relatively thick and large masses of the substance can contact the front of the separating member. Hence, the solitary particles are prevented from remaining on the sheet. |

A removable rollfeed apparatus, adapted to be rigidly attached to a printer, holds a roll of media and is mountable on the underside of the printer. The attachment to the underside of the printer allows a desk-mountable printer to rest on the rollfeed apparatus and thus to be raised away from the desk. In an embodiment the rollfeed apparatus itself has feet which are utilized in place of any feet mounted directly on the printer and extends to the front of the printer so that the media shaft is held in front of and below the printer. Furthermore there is provided a printer having mounting positions on the underside of the printer for mounting i) feet on which the printer may rest on a desktop, ii) legs on which the printer may rest on a floor, and iii) rollfeed apparatus. This enables both desktop and freestanding printers to quickly and easily be configured with or without a rollfeed apparatus. |

A printer having a change-over mechanism for selectively transmitting driving power of a line feed motor to a purge mechanism. A power distribution gear driven by the line feed motor is selectively engageable with a purge gear which drives a negative pressure generating unit of the purge mechanism. A first reclinable portion is pivotally positioned at a boundary between a printing region and a capping region, and a second reclinable portion is pivotally positioned in the printing region. The first and second reclinable portions are connected together by a link so as to upstand one of the first and second reclinable portions in response to reclining movement of the other. The first reclinable portion has an idle kicker depressable against the power distribution gear for disengaging the latter from the purge gear. A carriage mounting thereon print heads has a rib which is abuttable against the first and second reclinable portions to obtain their reclining positions. When the rib kicks down the first reclinable portion, the idle kicker moves away from the power distribution gear, so that the latter is brought into engagement with the purge gear. When the rib kicks down the second reclinable portion, the first reclinable portion rotates to its upstanding position, so that the idle kicker depresses the power distribution gear. |

A system indicates fault conditions in an automated banking machine journal printer (12, 106). The journal printer is supplied with paper from a paper supply (16, 112). Movement of paper by the printer is sensed by a detector (70, 124). An amount of paper remaining in the paper supply is sensed by a second detector (78, 122). The detectors are connected to an electronic circuit (74, 118) including a processor (76, 120). Fault signals are generated by said electronic circuit responsive to said detectors sensing conditions representative of paper jam, paper low and paper out conditions. |

A thermal line printer in which characters or image data are printed on a recording paper using a thermal line head having an array of heat generating resistors is provided. A platen roller opposed to the thermal line head presses the recording paper between the platen roller and the thermal line head. A carriage roller which is provided in close proximity to the thermal line head. A drive motor rotates the carriage roller. A spring biases the platen roller with respect to the thermal line head and the carriage roller. The recording paper is pressed at a predetermined pressure between the platen roller and the thermal line head. The recording paper is fed to pass through a passageway defined between the thermal line head and the platen roller in accordance with the rotation of the carriage roller. |

A scanning head ink jet printer utilizes variable paper advance interlacing. The printer includes a plurality of heads each having a plurality of rows of uniformly spaced ink jets which print different colors. A printing medium is advanced in a series of non-uniform distances (d.sub.1, d.sub.2, d.sub.3, d.sub.4) the sum of which is equal to the total number of uniformly-spaced ink jets (n) of one of the colors times the uniform spacing (s) of one pixel row from an adjacent pixel row. In a specific embodiment, a total advance of the printing medium is equal to the total number of uniformly-serial spaced ink jets of one color is 48, the spacing is four pixels, and the non-uniform distances include 49, 49, 45 and 49 pixels. |

A printing apparatus for printing designs, halftones, alphanumeric and other printed matter on sheet material utilizes a thermal printhead that is pressed against sheet material on a roller platen during a printing operation. A donor web bearing an ink material is interposed between the printhead and the sheet material on the roller platen. In order to improve the print quality, the printer includes a pressure regulating mechanism which not only controls the pressure between the printing head and roller platen at different pressure levels but also allows the printing head and platen to be separated and moved away from one another. |

A paper width of a sheet of paper is input into a paper width setting section. In case of defining a non-print area at a fore end of the paper, a paper bail roller is manually separated from a platen to output a detection signal A from a paper bail switch. In this case, a paper feeding motor is controlled to be driven by a control device, thereby feeding the paper until the fore end of the paper reaches the paper bail roller. On the other hand, in case of starting printing from the fore end of the paper, an operating section is operated to output a command signal B therefrom. In this case, only when the paper width input into the paper width setting section is determined to be less than a predetermined value by the control device, the paper feeding motor is controlled to be driven by the control device, thereby feeding the paper until the fore end of the paper reaches a position opposed to the printing head, and a centering device is controlled to be driven by the control means, thereby moving a carrier to a transverse center of the paper, so as to suppress separation of opposite side portions of the paper from the platen. |
