  • Printing apparatus and a method for loading media in said apparatus
    Patent number: 6915740
    Abstract: The printing apparatus comprises a printer and a laminator; media that advances and is printed in the printer is fed to the laminator device. The apparatus comprises means for loading in the laminator device the leading edge of the media leaving the printer, said loading means comprising a carrier, on which no printing is performed, attached to the leading edge of the media and to take-up means downstream of the laminator device, such that said carrier travels through the laminator device. Said carrier may comprise a length of lamination film, or a sheet or strips and means for their attachment to the media. The loading method comprises providing a carrier travelling through the laminator and attached to the leading edge of the media and to take-up means, and causing the carrier to advance leading the media through the laminator.
