Patent number: 9950541Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved printer provides a user with a simple, intuitive user-friendly touchscreen interface, is easy to assemble, and has a low cost to repair. The printer comprises a platen roller that can be changed without tools via the use of a bayonet connector, and an easy change print head that mechanically guides the print head into the carrier via mechanical guiding pins. Further, the printer comprises a universal supply holder to accommodate different sizes of inner diameter cores for tag and laminated supplies. The printer also discloses a ribbon spindle that accommodates both a cardboard core and a plastic core on the same printer device. Additionally, the printer discloses a media low sensor for providing a low supply indicator, and a gap sensor that comprises an LED array and a resistor array for gap sensing across the supply web.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: AVERY DENNISON RETAIL INFORMATION SERVICES, LLCInventors: Jeanne F. Duckett, Johannes Lenkl, Timothy L. Brown, Mitchell G. Stern, Lance D. Neuhard
