Print substrate edge guide

摘要

In one example, a device for use in a printer includes a flexible piece and a holder configured to removably attach the piece to a platen that has a surface over which a print substrate is moved through the print zone for printing on the substrate. The piece and the holder are configured to place the piece in tension along the platen surface such that, when the piece is attached to the platen, the piece becomes sufficiently rigid to counter substrate edge curl.

1. A device for use in a printer that includes a platen having a platen surface over which a print substrate is moved through a print zone for printing on the substrate, the device comprising:
a flexible piece; and a pair of holders secured to opposite ends of the piece, the holders configured to releasably engage the platen and removably attach the piece to the platen at multiple positions across a width of the platen; the piece and the holders configured to place the piece in tension along the platen surface such that, when the piece is attached to the platen, the piece and the holders are each configured to overlap an edge of the substrate to counter substrate edge curl.
