Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed comprising first and second pallet supports to engage pallets in at least a first and a second pallet location. The first pallet location positions a pallet to receive output from a print press. The second pallet location is a pre-use pallet holding location. The apparatus further comprises an actuator to move the first and second pallet supports to transfer a first pallet away from the first pallet location and a second pallet from the second pallet holding location to the first pallet location. A method of transferring pallets is also disclosed.

Abstract: An example stacking system comprises a stacking member movable between a first position in which the stacking member is configured to partially support a first stack of printed substrates, and a second position in which the stacking member is disengaged from the first stack. A receptacle positioned below the stacking member is configured to hold a second stack of printed substrates. A controller is configured to cause the stacking member to move between the first position and the second position when the first stack satisfies a criterion, thereby depositing the first stack into the receptacle on top of the second stack.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to a device for guiding a sheet, the device comprising a nip rollers arrangement comprising two nipping surfaces between a common drive roller and two freewheeling rollers aligned along a common direction and a freewheeling shaping element located between the two nipping surfaces along the common direction whereby the shaping element defines a shaping surface between the two nipping surfaces. The shaping element is displaceable between a first and a second position along a direction perpendicular to the common direction. The shaping surface is on a first side of the nipping surfaces when the shaping element is in the first position and the shaping surface is on a second opposite side of the nipping surfaces when the shaping element is in the second position.

Abstract: A roller device includes a cylinder member. The cylinder member includes wall member having a plurality of channels that are disposed within the wall member. The channels circulate a fluid therein to uniformly regulate a temperature of the cylinder member.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing vapor emissions from a printer may include a treatment chamber having an inlet and an outlet. While the printer is operating, vapor-laden air may enter the treatment chamber via the inlet and treated air may exit the treatment chamber via the outlet. While the printer is idle, the inlet and outlet can be sealed to prevent vapors located in the treatment chamber from being emitted to the atmosphere.
