Abstract: Various embodiments and methods are disclosed for sheet ejecting in which a claw boost the twain positions and response to engagement of a cam follower with a cam and in which the cam follower is movable between a cam engaging position at a cam disengaging position.

Abstract: A print drum for carrying sheets of media during printing, including a rotatable carrier drum generally defining an outer cylindrical boundary about a drum axis, and at least one media control member extending laterally substantially parallel to the carrier drum axis. The media control member is controllably movable between (1) a first position extending beyond the carrier drum boundary to define a lateral alignment barrier for a leading edge of a media sheet when adding the media sheet to the carrier drum, (2) a second position beneath the outer cylindrical boundary when printing on the added media sheet, and (3) a third position projecting outwardly of the outer cylindrical boundary to push the leading edge of the added sheet of media away from the outer cylindrical boundary.

Abstract: In an inkjet printing apparatus an inkjet printhead has a plurality of inkjet nozzles which eject ink onto media located within a print-zone. A drive shaft is located upstream of the printhead and is incrementally rotated to advance the media. The drive shaft has a longitudinal axis, a first radius over a central length and a second radius less than the first radius at a first recess and a second recess, each said recess being peripheral to the central length. A plurality of pinch devices stabilize the media against the drive shaft. A first guide is aligned with the first recess and is spaced from an axis of the drive shaft by a first distance which is less than the first radius. A second guide is aligned with the second recess and is spaced from the axis by a second distance less than the first radius.
