Abstract: A printer is provided incorporating a printhead for printing on pages of print media, an adhesive applicator for applying a two part adhesive to the printed pages, and a support tray for sequentially receiving and stacking the printed pages having the adhesive applied thereon. The two part adhesive has two parts which must contact each other to form an adhesive bond. The adhesive applicator is arranged to apply the two parts to opposite sides of each of the printed pages, and the support tray is arranged to stack the pages so that the first part of the adhesive on one page contacts the second part of the adhesive on an adjacent page in the stack so as to form a bound document.

Abstract: A capping mechanism for a print engine includes a capping member mountable in alignment with a printhead of the print engine. The capping member is displaceable into and out of abutment with the printhead for capping and uncapping the printhead respectively. A torsion bar arrangement acts on the capping member for displacing the capping member. A mechanical displaceable element co-operates with the torsion bar arrangement such that, when the element is in a parked position, the element engages the torsion bar arrangement to cause the capping member to be displaced into abutment with the printhead to cap the printhead. When the displaceable element is out of its parked position, the capping member is urged by the torsion bar arrangement out of abutment with the printhead.

Abstract: A nozzle arrangement for an ink jet printhead which is the product of an integrated circuit fabrication technique has a substrate. A fulcrum member is arranged on the substrate. An elongate working member having a load arm and an effort arm is pivotally mounted on the fulcrum to be pivotal with respect to the substrate. An effort mechanism is also arranged on the substrate and is operatively engageable with the effort arm. The effort mechanism is configured to apply an effort to an end of the effort arm.

Abstract: A system for authentication of the refill of a camera system having an internal ink supply and print media for the printing out of images sensed by the camera system, the system comprising: refill means for providing a supply of the ink and print media to the camera system; communication connection means within the camera system adapted to interconnect with a corresponding communication connection means within the refill station; a camera system interrogation means stored internally to the camera system and adapted to utilize the communication connection means to interrogate the refill station so as to determine the authenticity there of. The camera system interrogation means can be created on a silicon chip integrated circuit stored within the camera system, with the camera system interrogation means being created on the same silicon chip as an image sensor for sensing images by the camera system. The communication connection means can be a JTAG interface of the chip.
