  • Patent number: 10987953
    Abstract: Examples of an apparatus to use in a media feeder and a method to use in a media feeder are disclosed herein. An example of the apparatus includes a platen having an input to receive a medium and an output to eject the medium. The example of the apparatus additional includes a re-feed prevention device including a ramp to deflect the medium away from the input of the platen when the medium exits the output of the platen and a hooked end to catch an edge of the medium when curled as the medium exits the output of the platen.

  • Patent number: 10549937
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a device including a separator. Examples include a first separator having a surface to contact a medium and is coupled to a first spring. In examples, the first separator has a first centerline in a direction perpendicular to a medium travel direction. Examples include a second separator having a surface to contact a medium and is coupled to a second spring. In examples, the second separator has a second centerline disposed substantially parallel to the first centerline. Examples include a roller to contact the medium to move the medium along the medium travel direction. In examples, the first spring and second spring bias the first separator and second separator towards the roller, respectively. In examples, a force applied by the first separator to the medium is independent of a force applied to the medium by the second separator.

  • Patent number: 10477054
    Abstract: In one example, a document scanner has a fixed-position scan bar and a built-in translatable calibration target. The scan bar has a linear array of imaging elements aimed in an imaging direction. The calibration target is spaced apart from and parallel to the linear array, and has a planar surface orthogonal to the imaging direction spanning the length of the linear array. The target is translatable during a calibration in a direction in a plane of the surface.

  • Patent number: 10434785
    Abstract: In an example implementation, a fluid supply assembly includes a printhead assembly and a carriage comprising a quick-release, hand-operable attachment mechanism to removably attach the printhead assembly to the carriage. A fluid conduit interconnect is rigidly attached to the printhead assembly by a tool-operable fastener. The fluid conduit interconnect is to connect to a fluid conduit to communicate printing fluid from an off-axis printing fluid supply to the printhead assembly.

  • Publication number: 20190291992
    Abstract: According to an example, an apparatus to prevent media transport jams may include an actuator to load and advance a media within a media path width. The apparatus may also include a first sensor and a second sensor to detect respective edges of the media, in which the first sensor and the second sensor may be positioned outside of a media action area and on opposite sides of the media path width. The apparatus may further include a controller to prevent the actuator from advancing the media along the media path in response to a detection of one or both of the first edge of the media by the first sensor and the second edge of the media by the second sensor.
