Publication number: 20190118561Abstract: An example of the claim method includes, in response to detecting a rejected media unit, directing a media feed path towards a reject area. The method includes depositing the rejected media unit into the reject area. The reject area is defined by a cassette surface on a body of the ribbon cassette. The ribbon cassette is unable to be removed from the media processing device until the rejected media unit is removed from the cassette surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Joseph D. Moreira, Angel B. Rosales, Steve Ting Kei Chow, Myung S. Jun

Patent number: 10189660Abstract: A media processing device with a housing includes: a motorized media unit transporter to drive a media unit along a media processing path between an unprocessed media unit source and a processed media unit output; an auxiliary media unit transporter including a roller connected to a converter, and a bias member connected between the converter and the housing. In a first operating mode, the auxiliary transporter receives the media unit from the transporter to drive the roller and the converter; rotation of the converter deforms the bias member from a resting position to a primed position. In a second operating mode initiated upon rotation of the converter to a bias release position, the auxiliary transporter propels the media unit by releasing the bias member from the primed position to drive rotation of the converter and the roller as the bias member returns to the resting position.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: ZIH Corp.Inventors: Angel B. Rosales, Steve Ting Kei Chow

Publication number: 20190010015Abstract: A media processing device includes: a transport assembly to guide a media unit from a source past a processing head in an outbound direction, and past the processing head in a return direction toward an output; and a redirector to receive the media unit in the outbound direction, flip the media unit, and expel the media unit in the return direction. The redirector includes: a motor having an output shaft; a carriage rotatably supported by a housing; a roller supported by the carriage for engaging with the media unit; and a selector connected between the output shaft and the roller. The selector, for a first output shaft drive direction, rotates relative to the carriage and drives the roller for receiving or expelling the media unit, and for a second output shaft drive direction, engages the carriage and rotates the carriage relative to the housing for flipping the media unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2017Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Angel B. Rosales, Raymond E. Maynard, Myung S. Jun, David G. Guilloche, Mario N. Villanueva, Steve Ting Kei Chow, Thomas R. Helma
