Disclosed is a media processing device, including a printing assembly located downstream of a media supply. The media supply includes media elements. The media processing device further includes a memory configured to store media profiles and an edge detection sensor configured to detect edges of the media elements. The edge detection sensor is located proximate to an upstream end of the printing assembly. The media processing device further includes a control circuit configured to receive a media profile, determine calibration data based on the media profile, feed a first media element through the printing assembly, determine a media element length based on the media profile, retract the first media element back through the printing assembly based on the media element length, and print on the first media element by way of the printing assembly.

Media processing device configured to reduce media waste

An embodiment of an assembly has a landing pad configured to receive media after the media is cut. The landing pad defines a first end adjacent a cutter, a second end opposite the first end, and a gap positioned between the first end and the second end. The assembly has an emitter, wherein the gap is configured to allow light from the emitter to pass through the gap when the media is not located on the landing pad.

Landing pad for cut media

Provided herein are devices, systems, methods and various means, including those related to translating command and other types of computer instructions being transmitted to a destination processor from a language that is non-native to the destination processor to a language that is native to the destination processor. Some embodiments discussed herein can include a processing filter that is configured to identify whether incoming instructions are formatted in a translatable non-native language of the destination processor and, if so, process the non-native commands into native commands. The processed, native commands can then be relayed to the destination processor by some embodiments discussed herein. The processing filter can be implemented in a manner that is portable and independent of any specific framework and/or programming language. For example, the processing functionality (including the identification and translation features discussed herein) can be implemented in the same device as the destination processor and/or at a system remote from the destination device (e.g., at a remote host system).
