A printer that may be part of a point of sales terminal. The printer includes a latching mechanism that helps hold the printer's cover in the closed position when latched, but allows the cover to open when unlatched. The latching mechanism is automatically moved to an unlatched state by reversing the paper feed motor. Related methods of operating a printer are also disclosed.

An electronic apparatus with a module-locking device. The electronic apparatus includes a housing, a module, a lock, and a driving device. The module is moveably disposed in the housing. The lock is disposed between a first position and a second position. When the lock is located in the first position, the lock is inserted in a through hole so that the module is fixed to the housing. When the lock is located in the second position, the lock separates from the through hole. The driving device is used to move the lock from the first position to the second position.

There is provided a lock system for securing a printer door to prevent theft of an ink cartridge. The lock system comprises a lock housing that is attachable adjacent the printer door and which has a lateral aperture extending generally parallel thereto. The lock system further comprises a locking member disposed within the lateral aperture and which is slidable therealong between unlock and lock positions. Its locking portion becomes substantially retracted within the lateral aperture when in the unlock position. The locking portion becomes extended over the printer door when in the lock position to secure the same and prevent theft of the ink cartridge thereby.

A system and method for preventing a copy of a document to the output from a printing node until the printing node authenticates the intended recipient. The system includes a sending node, a printing node and a communication link coupling these nodes together in a network fashion. The sending node has access to a public key of the printing node and uses this public key to encrypt a header and document before transmission to the printing node over the communication link. The priority node has access to its private key to decrypt the header to ascertain whether the document requires authentication by the intended recipient before being output.
摘要:
A printer wherein a zero position sensor generates a zero-position signal and a non-zero-position signal depending upon whether the print head is placed in its zero position or not, and a print head locking mechanism is provided for permitting print head movement from the zero position when a ribbon holder supporting one or more ribbons is placed in a predetermined initial position, and inhibiting the print head movement from the zero position when the ribbon holder is not in the initial position, so that the non-zero-position signal is generated if the print head is moved away from the zero position with the ribbon holder placed in the initial position. When the ribbon holder is not in the initial position, the print head is not moved away from the zero position and the zero-position signal remains even if the print head is commanded to move away from the zero position, so that the single zero position sensor cooperates with the locking mechanism to detect both the print head zero position and the ribbon holder initial position.

An example disclosed printer configured to peel media from a backing, the printer having a peeler assembly that is engageable between a peeling position, wherein the printer is configured to peel the media from the backing, and a non-peeling position, wherein the printer is not configured to peel the media from the backing. The printer further including a sensor configured to send a signal corresponding to a position of the peeler assembly. The printer further including a communication interface configured to receive the position of the peeler assembly from the sensor and configured to transmit the position of the peeler assembly to a secondary component.

Examples of a fluidic interface for a printing device are described. In some examples, the fluidic interface may include a shutter lock to prevent movement of a shutter covering a needle to engage a print substance supply. In some examples, the fluidic interface may also include a supply key opening to receive a supply key of the print substance supply that engages the shutter lock to permit movement of the shutter to expose the needle.
