| Zusammenfassung: | An inkjet printer includes a microwave drying station passing media through a waveguide thereof. A vacuum source coupled to the waveguide draws air into the waveguide and thereby aides in disturbing and scrubbing a boundary layer of vapor at the media surface otherwise hindering efficient drying of media thereat. Supporting the media on a perforated belt through the waveguide couples media to the belt by vacuum force and thereby contributes to an overall media feed mechanism. |
