A wet printed media output management system

摘要

A printer (30) has a system to manage the output path of wet printed media in which a wet printed medium us held for a time before being ejected into an output tray (41) to avoid the smearing of the wet print markings made on the medium. The system achieves this holding time by causing the wet printed medium to travel an additional distance over movable ramps (32) before being ejected. In addition, the movements of the ramps (32) are synchronized with the various operations in the printing cycle of the printer.
