Abstract: A warm-white-light LED structure combines a red light wafer and a blue light wafer via a bonding layer. A reflecting layer is arranged over upper and lower surfaces of the bonding layer respectively; the lower surface of the red light wafer takes up one-third or less of the upper surface of the blue light wafer, which effectively reduces packaging structure volume and time of bondings so as to optimize process flow and save fabrication cost.

Abstract: A printer includes a jet and an adjusting device. The adjusting device includes a base, a movable rod on the base, and an idle roller secured to the movable rod. The idle roller drives a piece of paper to slide. A feed roller is secured above the idle roller, and a gap between the feed roller and the idle roller has a gap height accommodating a paper thickness. A driving mechanism is in a side of the idle roller and transports the piece of paper out of the gap. During a printing process, the feed roller faces a printed side, and the idle roller faces an opposite side. The jet is secured above the printed side and between the driving mechanism and the feed roller. The idle roller moves substantially perpendicular to a printing surface, and the idle roller adjusts the gap height substantially equal to the paper thickness.

Abstract: A paper collector receives papers printed by a printer. The paper collector includes a carrier and one or more stand arms. The carrier is located on a side of the printer. The stand arms are pivotably attached to the carrier. The stand arms can rotated relative to the carrier from a non-carrying state to a lower state. When in the non-carrying state, the stand arm is oblique to the carrier and to a paper output direction of the printer. When in the lower state, the stand arm is pressed down by weight of accumulated printed papers thereon.

Abstract: A transmission device includes a first bracket, a second bracket, a slave wheel, a rotating shaft, a paper pressing assembly, and a pivoting shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted between the first bracket and the second bracket. The slave wheel is secured to the shaft. The pressing assembly includes a pressing member and a pressing wheel secured to the pressing member. The pressing member is secured to the pivoting shaft. The pivoting shaft is pivotably mounted between the first bracket and the second bracket. The pivoting shaft is rotatable relative to the rotating shaft together with the pressing member and the pressing wheel. Thus, a distance between the pressing wheel and the slave wheel is expanded to let a paper pass between the pressing wheel and the slave wheel, so that the paper will not be jammed or badly printed.
