An apparatus () having a peripheral interface port hub and secure thumb device enclosure is disclosed. The apparatus can include a frame () and an external peripheral interface upstream port () coupled to the frame. The external peripheral interface upstream port can be configured to couple the apparatus to a host external peripheral interface port, where the host external peripheral interface port can be configured to couple a host device to a peripheral external to the host device. The apparatus can include a plurality of external peripheral interface downstream ports (-) coupled to the frame, where each external peripheral interface downstream port can be configured to couple the apparatus to an external peripheral interface thumb device, where the external peripheral interface thumb device can be configured to be coupled to a printing apparatus. The apparatus can include a cover () configured to cover external peripheral interface thumb devices coupled to the plurality of external peripheral interface downstream ports.

This is a take-up roller assembly that is connected to paper exiting a scanner and collects this exiting paper. The take-up roller assembly is moved by movement of paper entering the scanner together with a paper pulling structure that is located in the scanner. This take-up roller assembly is uniquely suitable for use in a wide format imaging system that uses a scanner.
