Abstract: A cap 13, 15, for the print face 9 of a drop-on-demand ink jet printer moves between a closed position, in which it covers the print nozzles on the print face 9, and an open position in which the print nozzles are uncovered, without requiring movement of the print face 9. In the open position, the cap is recessed relative to the front surface 21 of the printhead. For at least part of the movement of the cap, it is further forward than the print face 9, so that it does not slide across and damage the print nozzles. The drop-on-demand ink jet printer may be used to print onto objects 3 conveyed past it, for example on a packing line. The cap 13, 15, does not obstruct the path of the objects 3 even if they pass very close (e.g. 0.5 mm) to the print face 9 because its uncapped position is further back than the front surface 21 of the printhead.

Abstract: A decision is made for each page as to whether to allow image printing on that page, by comparing the remaining sheet length DL with a length of an image about to be printed, IL. A length of a non-printed, rear-end cut sheet is also checked to determine whether the non-printed cut sheet needs to be further cut into smaller sheets. This arrangement can prevent a complete image to be printed in one page from being broken and only partly printed in the last portion of a paper roll, ensure that printed cut sheets and non-printed cut sheets are stably conveyed and discharged and enable the non-printed cut sheets to be almost equal in size so that they can be properly accommodated in the associated tray.

Abstract: When a paper jam occurs while printing, the control unit of a printer 1 retracts the head carriage 59 at a slow speed (initial retraction speed V1), and retracts the head carriage 59 at the slow speed to the target retraction position if the access cover 11 is not opened. If the access cover 11 is opened during retraction, the speed of head carriage 59 movement is changed to a faster retraction speed (high retraction speed V2). If the head carriage 59 is retracted quickly when the access cover 11 is opened, there is little chance of a user that wants to quickly restore printer 1 operation catching the stuck paper P on the printhead 22 and tearing the paper P. There is therefore little chance of problems resulting from torn pieces of paper being left inside the printer 1.

Abstract: A device for imprinting a leather belt or other comparable accessory contains a structural body and a longitudinal cavity. The belt is held in place by a central panel, a first rail, and a second rail of the structural body. More specifically, the belt is held stationary in a belt receiving channel which is delineated by a surface of the central panel, the first rail, and the second rail. When the belt is held stationary, the longitudinal cavity is used to imprint a stamp on the belt. In doing so, a stamp body which contains a preferred stamp is positioned in the longitudinal cavity and struck with a mallet or similar device which can produce a considerable force. Since the belt receiving channel is accessible through the longitudinal cavity, the stamp is imprinted on the belt with minimum effort.
