  • Patent number: 9360820
    Abstract: Printing apparatuses include, among other components, a media path transporting sheets of print media in a process direction. A transfer station is located at a first location of the media path, and a fusing station is located at a second location of the media path (the second location is closer to the end of the media path (in the process direction) relative to the first location). Also, a single blower is located adjacent the fusing station, and two outlets receive air from the single blower. A first outlet (of the two outlets) provides air to the transfer station to reduce the temperature of the transfer station, and a second outlet (of the two outlets) is located between the transfer station and the fusing station and directs the sheets of print media toward one side of the media path.

  • Publication number: 20130265717
    Abstract: A printing device having ultrafine particle (UFP) emissions is disclosed which includes an UFP particle removal assembly comprising a fluid conduit having a printing device emission input and output and an other fluid input and output wherein an emission portion of the conduit is affected by the other fluid portion and communication of the other fluid through the removal assembly effects a condensation/coalescence of the UFP emissions between the emission input and output for a reduction in UFP content of printing device emissions at the printing device emission output.
