A printer may be used to print on print media, such as labels, where the print media, as fed through the print, spans substantially less than the full width of the printhead and platen. This may result in uneven print pressure across the print media during the print process. The uneven print pressure, in turn, may result in an uneven print density on the print media, which causes poor print quality. A system and method is employed with identifies the uneven print pressure, and compensates for the uneven print pressure to ensure consistent print density and good print quality. Along segments of the printhead which apply a below average pressure to the print media, the printhead is configured to apply a proportionately higher density of an appropriate contrast-inducing element, such as ink or heat. Along segments of the printhead which apply an above average pressure to the print media, the printhead is configured to apply a proportionately lower density of an appropriate contrast-inducing element, such as ink or heat.

Autocorrection for uneven print pressure on print media

A printing apparatus is described that comprises an antenna configured to intercept radio waves modulated with printing data; a receiver configured to recover the printing data from the intercepted radio waves; a printing module configured to generate a printed output on a printing medium based on the printing data; and a housing for the printing apparatus, wherein the housing encloses the antenna, the receiver, and the printing module, and further wherein the antenna is integrated with an interior surface of the housing.

Enclosure with integrated antenna, such as a printer with an antenna integrated in a printer housing used to communicate wirelessly with an electronic device

A print media holder device has first and second grip members. Permanent magnets are attached to the first and second grip members. An electromagnet is disposed between the first and second grip members, where when the electromagnet is selectively energized the permanent magnets attached to the first and second grip members are repelled in a manner that increases the outer dimension of the print media holder device to grip a media core.

Magnetic media holder for printer

A media guide is provided for use in printer. Media guide includes main body portion having internal bore configured to be disposed around media spindle and guide member connected to main body portion. Guide member is configured to extend outwardly from main body portion to extended position and to retract toward main body portion to collapsed position. Method for using media guide is also provided. Media guide is disposed on media spindle such that media spindle extends through internal bore of main body portion and is positioned and locked at selected position along length of media spindle. When media roll is disposed on media spindle, guide member is extended to extended position. When media roll is configured to be one of loaded onto or unloaded from media spindle, guide member is retracted to collapsed position.

The invention relates to a hearing aid device and a hearing aid switch. The switch is operable to open and close an electric circuit of the hearing aid device. A lock for the switch is operable to selectively enable and disenable a hearing aid device function. The hearing aid device comprises a device for selectively inhibiting the operation of the switch to enable or to disenable the hearing aid device function.

Hearing aid device with an on/off switch

A hearing aid device, including a switch being operable to open and close an electric circuit of the device; and a battery locating means for selectively locating a battery within said device for electrical communication with said electric circuit, wherein the switch inhibits the battery locating means from removing the battery from electrical communication with said electric circuit when the switch is arranged to close the electric circuit.
