<p>A printer feeds cut-sheet print media (320) past an exposure area of a linear exposure print engine (100) exposing the edges of the media. A sheet of print media is fed into a pair of open leading edge pinch rollers (322 and 326) as printing is started. These rollers close and push the media past the exposure area where the leading edge of the sheet is exposed to the image being printed. The leading edge then passes through a pair of open trailing edge pinch rollers (330 and 334), which close to start pulling the media through the exposure area. After the trailing edge pinch rollers close, the leading pinch rollers open, transferring the movement from the leading edge pinch rollers to the trailing edge pinch rollers, allowing the trailing edge pinch rollers to pull the trailing edge of the sheet through the exposure area where it is exposed to the image being printed.</p> |
