Abstract: An apparatus for cooling thermally processed media exiting from a thermal processor comprising: a heat conductive member which has first and second opposite sides which is positioned to receive media from a thermal processor, and which removes heat from the heated media as it passes over the first side of the member; and means for removing heat from the member by passing air in contact with and past the second side of the member to remove heat from the member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a protective cover package for an endless, organic photoreceptor belt of an electrophotographic printer. The protective cover package is a flexible, closed loop sheet member which extends about an outer, photoreceptor coated surface of the endless belt. The photoreceptor coated surface of the endless belt is releasably secured to an inner surface of the sheet member, such that the sheet member supports the belt, and protects the photoreceptor surface from damage that would adversely affect the image reproduction quality of the belt. The sheet member has a belt loading configuration, that substantially duplicates the configuration of the endless belt when the belt is mounted onto support rollers of the electrophotographic printer. By replicating the configuration of the support rollers, loading of the belt onto the rollers is facilitated using the protective cover package. The sheet member also has a compact configuration that requires less volume than the belt loading configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cartridge device for packaging an endless, organic photoreceptor belt of an electrophotographic printer. The cartridge device includes a substantially rigid, closed loop support structure and a resilient mechanism. The resilient mechanism engages the endless belt and releasably holds the belt against an inner surface of the support structure. The resilient mechanism holds the endless belt so that the belt substantially conforms to the shape of the support structure. The shape of the support structure essentially duplicates the configuration of the endless belt when the belt is mounted onto support rollers of the electrophotographic printer. By replicating the configuration of the support rollers, loading of a replacement photoreceptor belt onto the rollers is facilitated using the cartridge device. The cartridge device substantially protects the photoreceptor belt from inadvertent damage that would adversely affect the image reproduction quality of the replacement belt.
