Abstract: Disclosed herein is an element for a cable carrier, a printing device and a method assembling a cable carrier from segments. The cable carrier element comprises a frame surrounding an opening that is to receive a cable or a tube, or a bundle of cables or tubes. The frame comprises four frame members, wherein pairs of adjacent frame members form U-shaped portions of the frame. A right-hand side U-shaped portion is adjustably engaged with a left-hand side U-shaped portion such that the respective U-shaped portions are movable relative to each other along a first direction to vary a cross-sectional area of the opening. A bottom U-shaped portion is adjustably engaged with a top U-shaped portion such that the respective U-shaped portions are movable relative to each other along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to vary the cross-sectional area of the opening.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a transducer to transform a load in the housing to an electric current, upon receipt of a load exceeding a load threshold. The apparatus further comprises a light source coupled to the transducer to emit light upon receiving the electric current.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a linear cut across stationary media in a printer, particularly applicable to rollfeed media.. A self-contained cutter assembly is activated by a printer carriage to move across a media path through a cutting zone and includes a first wheel-driven rotary cutter which acts cooperatively with a second passive rotary cutter to cut through the media. The first rotary cutter is driven by a concentrically mounted drive tire having a diameter less than the diameter of the first rotary cutter, and is generally positioned under the media path. The second rotary cutter rotates freely, and is generally positioned above the media path. A media guide member on the printer has an output flange with a lower surface for engagement with the drive tire and an upper surface to provide underlying support for the media adjacent the cutting zone.
