Abstract: An ejection assembly for a printer is provided, the ejection assembly being disposed downstream of a print head in order to receive web from the print head. The ejection assembly can include an ejection roller and a door having a closed configuration and an open configuration. The door can be biased toward the closed configuration and toward the ejection roller. Upon rotation of the ejection roller, the ejection roller can force the door from the closed configuration to the open configuration and can eject web past the door from the printer. In some embodiments, the ejection roller is rotated one full cycle, the ejection roller permits accumulation of web received from the print head and subsequently forces the door from the closed configuration to the open configuration and ejects the accumulated web past the door from the printer. Also provided are a corresponding printer and method.

Abstract: A matrix print head comprising a plurality of electromagnets each having an associated armature; a plurality of elongated print elements having ends adapted for printing markings on a data carrier; each of said print elements being associated with an armature; each of said print elements including a straight-line portion substantially perpendicular to said data carrier; said print element straight line portions being parallel to each other and being disposed in the same plane each of said print elements including an armature-engaging portion for resiliently maintaining its associated armature against its associated electromagnet, each of said print element armature-engaging portions permitting its associated armature to pivot about a first surface of its associated electromagnet whenever said electromagnet is energized, whereby the associated print element is thereby moved in a direction parallel to the straight-line portion thereof to thereby permit a marking on said data carrier to be printed.
