Abstract: Methods and apparatus include a handheld printer manipulated back and forth by an operator during use to print an image on a media. The media includes reference indicia upon which users maneuver the printer whenever a location of the printer is unknown or needs updating or validating. A controller of the printer correlates the location of a printhead to the image and when lost communicates to a direction indicator to provide user notification of where to move the housing to reacquire the location. Embodiments of the reference indicia include guide and location patterns, with the guide pattern pointing to the location pattern. Other indicia include related tick marks of substantially equal size and shape with substantially equal spacing there between. Supply items for applying on the media include a substrate with reference indicia thereon that matches stores reference indicia in the printer.

Abstract: Stand-alone hand-held printers comprising a housing, a printhead, one or more sensors, and a display. The one or more sensors are adapted to detect relative position of the print head during an ongoing print job. The hand-held printer is configured to show one or more print quality features of the ongoing print job on the display. Systems including the hand-held printer.

Abstract: An antifraud device for use with a self service terminal having a fascia formed with an entry slot accessed by a bank card and a keypad has a control system for disabling the terminal in the event of tampering. A cover overlying the entry slot has an opening aligned with the entry slot of the card reader. The cover has a selected thickness thereby allowing the card to pass through it without allowing additional travel should something capable of reading the card be placed over the cove the entry slot. The cover has a breakaway contact adapted to sense unauthorized removal. A detector is provided to sense the presence of an unauthorized object proximate to the entry slot or keypad or both. A control system responsive to the breakaway contact and detector disables the terminal if the cover is removed or if the entry slot is covered by an unauthorized reader.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a multi-format memory card drive having a multi-format memory card slot configured to receive any of a plurality of memory cards having a corresponding plurality of memory card formats. At least one of the plurality of memory cards has a memory card format that is different from another memory card format of the plurality of memory card formats. A bezel is configured for installation over the multi-format memory card slot. The bezel is configured to select a subset of the plurality of memory card formats that can be received by the multi-format memory card slot of the multi-format memory card drive.

Abstract: An electronic wireless communication system includes an electronic device with a plug-in circuit card. The plug-in circuit card includes a wireless radio circuit and at least one on-board coaxial connector coupled with the wireless radio circuit. An antenna card includes at least one antenna and at least one on-board coaxial connector. At least one of the on-board coaxial connectors on the antenna card is coupled with a corresponding antenna. Each on-board coaxial connector on the antenna card is also coupled with a mating on-board coaxial connector on the plug-in circuit card.
