Patent number: 9132666Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to curl control assembly for use in a printing device having an output for printed media. One such example includes an ejection flap assembly adjacent the output configured to controllably assume a first predetermined position designed to help control a first amount of curl of the printed media and a second predetermined position designed to help control a second amount of curl of the printed media. The example additionally includes a positioning assembly adjacent the ejection flap assembly configured to selectively position the ejection flap assembly in either the first predetermined position or the second predetermined position and an actuator coupled to the positioning assembly that has a latched state that helps prevent movement of the positioning assembly and an unlatched state that permits movement of the positioning assembly. An example of a curl control method for use in a printing device is additionally disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Kevin Lo, David Whalen, Raymond C.

Patent number: 8905537Abstract: A media handling device for a printer is provided. The media handling device includes a base structure and an assembly provided on the base structure. The assembly comprises a carrier structure that has a first end that is coupled to the base structure. The carrier structure is coupled to the base structure to move inwards from an original position and is under bias to return to the original position, in order to receive a media sheet during a print operation. The assembly also comprises a set of starwheels provided with the carrier structure. Each starwheel rotates while contacting the media sheet during the print operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kevin Lo, David Whalen, John Engel
