  • Patent number: 9174815
    Abstract: A printing and paper delivery system includes at least two printers disposed adjacent to one another. A first conveyor is coupled to a first printer of the at least two printers such that the first conveyer is configured to receive media output from an output chute of the first printer. A second conveyor is coupled to a second printer of the at least two printers such that the first conveyor is configured to receive media output from an output chute of the second printer. A controller is in signal communication with the first and second conveyors to facilitate the transfer of media from at least one of the at least two printers to a delivery location.

  • Patent number: 5056331
    Abstract: An enclosure for electronic equipment, especially for electronic equipment such as laser printers that must be protected from dirt and dust. The enclosure is a stand along casing having, for instance, a small, self-contained air conditioning unit contained therein. The electronic equipment is supported on a horizontal support surface which forms the top of the case. The enclosure has two main embodiments; a partial covering for the electronic equipment, located adjacent the horizontal surface, and a total cover over the entire horizontal surface. In each, filtered air drawn by the air conditioner is directed beneath the cover by baffles within the case. In the partial cover, the cover abuts an air input vent on the electronic equipment and conditioned, i.e. clean air from the conditioner is forced within the equipment casing at a high rate to prevent ingress of dirt therein.
