Latest Patents

Edsall’s listed patents address challenges in handling asymmetrically thick media in printing systems.

“Image and Stacking Orientation Compensating Method and Apparatus for Media Having Marginal Regions with Different Thicknesses” describes a system that detects the presence, location, and orientation of thickened media. A controller uses this information to guide image placement, helping ensure that the image is positioned and oriented appropriately on the sheet.

“System, Method, and Program for Stacking Multi-Thickness Sheets of Media” concerns adjusting the output orientation of sheets with varying thicknesses. The system determines how many sheets should be alternated in a stack and adjusts the orientation of at least one sheet accordingly.
