Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING SELECTABLE INPUT MEDIA ROUTING OF MULTIPLE INPUT MEDIA FORMS FROM MULTIPLE AXES IN IMAGE FORMING DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017197384
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for configuring media transport flow paths for directing input image receiving media, including those of different types, in a sheet or roll form from multiple axes to provide wider latitude in selecting particular input image receiving media and combinations of input image receiving media to support execution of a print job.SOLUTION: The disclosed schemes are directed to using one or more stationary turn bars disposed generally at 45° in an input media transport path approaching a marking module in an image forming system to allow sheets or sheeted materials to be positioned at 90° to the in-line input image receiving media transport path directed toward the marking module, thus allowing flexibility in selection from among various sources of stacked, pallet and rolled media.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
