Device With A Printhead And Media Drive Shaft

摘要

A mobile telecommunications device is disclosed having an inkjet printhead, a drive shaft for feeding a substrate past the printhead, and a capper assembly. The capper assembly moves between a capped position covering nozzles of the printhead and an uncapped position spaced from the nozzles. The capper assembly is adapted for engagement a leading edge of the substrate to move the capper from the capped position and towards the uncapped position. The drive shaft disengages a trailing edge of the substrate before the trailing edge is printed. The trailing edge is projected past the printhead by momentum and the capper assembly grips the substrate after the substrate has been printed so that the substrate partially extends from the mobile telecommunications device in readiness for manual collection.
