  • Publication number: 20250206043
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes a printhead, a motor, a drive train, and a platen assembly. The drive train is operatively coupled to the motor. The platen assembly includes a platen roller and is operatively coupled to the drive train. The platen assembly is configured to rotate about a platen assembly axis of rotation, in response to an operation of the motor, between a media processing position in which the platen roller forms a nip with the printhead and a media loading position in which the platen roller is rotated away from the printhead about the platen assembly axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 10807391
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improvements to printers including the use of engineered structures to limit bending, flexing, and/or twisting during impacts and the use of impact absorbing materials to prevent cracks and breaks. Design features and materials add to the rigidity of the printer design to prevent twisting and flexing during impacts and add to the strength of the printer design in typical breakage areas. For example, embodiments provide improvements that strengthen traditional break areas by the use of improved materials and design optimization to distribute impact forces. Embodiments allow the printer to maintain an operational status following a drop test and/or a tumble test.
