Abstract: A printer comprises, from upstream to downstream, a loader for articles to be printed, a printing device and transfer elements to direct sequentially the articles from the outlet of the loader to the printing device and from the printing device toward collection elements for the printed articles. The outlet drive element for the articles from the loader, has a cylinder in contact with the articles to be printed by an opening provided in a wall of the loader, and is moved by a motor common to the transfer elements. The contact between the cylinder and the articles is sequentially interrupted by an isolating device moved by a mechanical connection with the motor of the printing device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a printer comprising a loader (2) of print media (1) to be printed, a printing device (9) and transfer means delimiting a series of gripper zones (8) forming a transport path (8A) for sequentially driving the printed media (1) from the output (5) of the loader (2) to the printing device (9) and from the printing device (9) to collecting means arranged beneath the loader (2). Said printer is characterised in that at least the portion of the slotted (4) wall (7) of the loader (2) slopes with a positive incidence relative to the transport path (8A) to provide the print media (1) to be printed with an inclination in the direction of the input of the first gripper zone (8) of the transport path (8A), said input being provided with a deflector (11).

Abstract: A printer comprises a loader (2) for supports (1) to be printed, a printing device (9) and transfer elements delimiting a series of gripping regions (8) forming a transport path (8A) to lead sequentially the printed supports (1) from the outlet (5) of the loader (2) to the printing device (9) and from the printing device (9) toward collection elements disposed below the loader (2). At least the portion of a wall (7) with an opening (4) of the loader (2) is inclined at a positive angle relative to the transport path (8A) to give to the support (1) to be printed an inclination in the inlet direction of a first gripping region (8) of the transport path (8A). The inlet is provided with a deflector (11).

Abstract: A card cleaning device for use in an image forming machine includes a frame adapted for installation into an appropriately configured image forming machine, a bottom card cleaning roller having a shaft removably coupled to the frame and adapted for cleaning a card being fed at an angle relative to the frame and a top adhesive roller coupled removably to the frame on top of the bottom roller for continuous cleaning of the bottom roller by means of friction during device operation. The cards are being fed one at a time at an angle relative to the frame to save internal printer space by a card feeder mechanism disposed proximate to the card cleaning device with the entering end of each card being slightly bent upon first card contact with a pair of card entry guides or a card entry guide plate coupled to the frame under the bottom roller so as to enable card feeding at an angle and prevent premature wear of the bottom card cleaning roller.
