A media device includes a disc tray moved by two motors. The media device includes a disc tray movable along an axis of movement and including a first coupling structure; a first motor operatively connected to a second coupling structure configured for coupling with the first coupling structure to move the disc tray along the axis of movement; and a second motor operatively connected to a third coupling structure configured for coupling with the first coupling structure to move the disc tray along the axis of movement.

Imaging head

A system includes a carrier, one or more printheads coupled with the carrier in a defined spatial relation, and alignment information associated with the carrier and identifying the defined spatial relation of one or more printheads.

System with alignment information

A printing system includes an ink reservoir, a support, a fluid conduit and a printhead assembly. The fluid conduit is fluidly coupled to the ink reservoir and includes a first fluid coupler. The printhead assembly includes a body configured to be releasably coupled to the support, a plurality of printheads coupled to the body including a first printhead and a second printhead, and a fluid passage fluidly coupled to both the first printhead and the second printhead. The fluid passage includes a second fluid coupler releasably coupled to the first fluid coupler.

Printing system

Various embodiments include methods and systems for monitoring a production line for non-printing events, and responsive to detecting an event, ascertaining whether an operation can be effected with an inkjet printer stationed along the production line.

Methods and systems for operating inkjet printers on production lines

A system for servicing a non-scanning printhead includes a servicing plate, a servicing component mounted on the servicing plate and adapted to service the non-scanning printhead, and a drive system adapted to move the servicing plate between a storage position and a service position such that the servicing component is spaced from the non-scanning printhead when the servicing plate is in the storage position and the servicing component is adapted to service the non-scanning printhead when the servicing plate is in the service position.

System and method for servicing non-scanning printhead

An inkjet printing system for printing on a print medium having a top-of-form (TOF) indicator includes a printhead assembly, a top-of-form (TOF) detector adapted to detect the TOF indicator, a positional sensor adapted to sense a relative position of the print medium to the printhead assembly, and a controller associated with the printhead assembly, the TOF detector, and the positional sensor. The printhead assembly includes a first printhead subarray and a second printhead subarray offset from the first printhead subarray such that the controller is configured to initiate operation of the first printhead subarray after the TOF detector detects the TOF indicator and initiate operation of the second printhead subarray at a predetermined interval after the TOF detector detects the TOF indicator. As such, the predetermined interval is related to the relative position of the print medium.
