IMPROVED PRINTER CASSETTE AND ASSOCIATED PRINTER

A printer media cassette (30) includes a movable arm which defines a desired path for media stock to facilitate insertion and removal of the cassette from a printer. The cassette also includes a tensioner arm (32) for providing slack in the media path within the cassette to account for slippage between a feed roller of the printer and the media. Latching mechanisms on the cassette cooperate with latching mechanisms on a printer to assure proper installation of the cassette within the printer.

Un support de cartouche d'imprimante comprend un bras amovible qui définit une voie souhaitée vers la réserve du support afin de faciliter l'insertion et le retrait de la cartouche d'une imprimante. La cartouche comprend également un bras de tendeur qui crée un jeu dans la voie du support à l'intérieur de la cartouche afin de prendre en compte tout glissement entre un rouleau d'amenée de l'imprimante et le support. Des mécanismes de verrouillage sur la cartouche coopèrent avec des mécanismes de verrouillage d'une imprimante afin de garantir l'installation adéquate de la cartouche à l'intérieur de l'imprimante.
