Abstract: The present invention provides a low profile stackable internet appliance printer having a removable combination input/output tray cassette with a support mounted therein for holding the output tray in substantially horizontal plane when the output tray is extended outwardly from the cassette a sufficient distance to support from below individual sheets of media discharged from the printer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low profile stackable Internet appliance printer having a removable combination input/output tray cassette. An elongated opening centrally disposed in a front wall of the cassette allows a user to determine the amount of paper stored in the cassette without withdrawing the cassette from the printer body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low profile stackable Internet appliance printer for use with a television receiver and monitor and responsive to commands from a remote device for printing user desired information. The printer has a box like rectangular shaped housing conforming in size to that of conventional electronic audio video components such as cable boxes, DVD players, amplifiers, video tapes and the like to facilitate the stacking of the printer with such other components. A base member supports in a front portion of the printer a printbar and associated printheads to provide the user with easy printhead head access. The base member has an open bottom for receiving a removable combination input/output tray cassette. Upon removal of the combination input/output tray cassette, front user access is made available for the purposes of removing a paper jam should one occur.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low profile stackable Internet appliance printer for use with a television receiver and monitor and responsive to commands from a remote device for printing user desired information. The printer has a box like rectangular shaped housing conforming in size to that of conventional electronic audio video components such as cable boxes, DVD players, amplifiers, video tapes and the like to facilitate the stacking of the printer with such other components. A base member having defines an interior cavity for receiving a removable combination input/output tray cassette and supports from below a low profile printbar including its feed motor, drive motor, associated electronic drivers for controlling the firing of low profile printheads, carriage movement and the moving of paper to print user desired images.

Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a low-profile and narrow-width printer that has two rollers, a pick roller and a feed roller, and two roller motors. Each one of the two roller motors is used to drive one of the two rollers. As a result, a short gear train can be used to allow a longer paper path for enabling a low height printer. Also, a print media can be picked up from the input tray while another print media is being printed upon by an ink jet printhead or printhead. Thus, throughput of the printer can be enhanced when the printer is printing a multi-page document. Further, the printer straightens out print media that are skewed when picked up by the pick roller. Finally, the printer is able to locate a paper jam by using two sensors, one by the pick roller and the other by the feed roller.
