Abstract: An imaging device has a print media path for transporting a print media sheet in a sheet feed direction. A mounting device is coupled to a frame. A media sensor has a body and at least one rotating member rotatably coupled to the body. The body is coupled to the mounting device. The mounting device is configured to facilitate movement of the media sensor in a direction toward the media path and to restrain movement of the media sensor in the sheet feed direction. The media sensor is positioned by the mounting device such that at least one rotating member rotates due to contact with a surface of the print media sheet as the print media sheet moves relative to the media sensor in the sheet feed direction along the print media path.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a printing mechanism having a media path. A print media source is provided for supplying a sheet of print media to the printing mechanism. A drive unit is provided, with a drive shaft coupled to the drive unit. A media sensor device is mounted to the drive shaft, wherein as the drive shaft is rotated in a first direction the media sensor device is moved from a first position that is out of the media path to a second position that is in the media path for sensing the sheet of print media. As the drive shaft is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction the media sensor device is moved from the second position that is in the media path for sensing the sheet of print media to the first position that is out of the media path.

Abstract: A low-profile ink jet cartridge assembly for an ink jet printer. The low profile ink jet cartridge assembly includes a substantially rectangular ink jet cartridge body having a printhead side, opposing side surfaces attached to the printhead side and a length, a height, and a width, wherein the length is greater than the height and the width. A printhead containing a semiconductor substrate is attached to the printhead side of the ink cartridge. A flexible circuit having a width, a length, a first edge along the length thereof, a second edge along the length thereof, first printer contact pads along at least a portion of the length thereof adjacent the first edge, and second printer contact pads along at least a portion of the length thereof adjacent the second edge is attached to the ink cartridge on the opposing side surfaces of the cartridge body.
