Media processing device with enhanced media and ribbon loading and unloading features

摘要

A device for processing media may include a front panel, a rear panel, a side panel, a support surface, and an access door assembly. The access door assembly may be pivotally coupled to the support surface and may include a major door pivotally coupled to a minor door. The minor door may be movable from an operational position to a minor support position and the major door may be movable from the operational position to a major support position in which the major door is positioned against and supported by the support surface. The side panel may define an imaginary plane that extends upward beyond the support surface and the access door assembly may be sized to be supported on the support surface without crossing the imaginary plane.

主权项

1. A media processing device comprising:
a platen assembly comprising a platen roller; a printhead assembly comprising a printhead that is pivotally movable from a loading position in which the printhead does not engage the platen roller to a printing position in which the printhead at least indirectly engages the platen roller; and a toggle assembly that is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein the toggle assembly drives the printhead assembly into at least indirect contact with the platen roller in response to a user moving the toggle assembly from the disengaged position to the engaged position, wherein the printhead assembly is lifted from the printing position to the loading position in response to the toggle assembly moving from the engaged position to the disengaged position, and wherein the toggle assembly is configured to rotate from the engaged position to the disengaged position in a first rotational direction and the printhead assembly is configured to rotate from the printing position to the loading position in a second rotational direction, opposite the first rotational direction.
