Abstract
An example printing apparatus is illustrated. The printing apparatus includes a print engine assembly. The print engine assembly further includes a bottom chassis portion. The print engine assembly also includes a top chassis portion. The print engine assembly also includes a print head positioned within the top chassis portion. The print engine assembly also includes a plurality of offset pins coupled to the print head, where the plurality of offset pins abuts the bottom chassis portion, and where the plurality of offset pins enables the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the bottom chassis portion.
Claims20
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a print engine assembly, the print engine assembly comprising:
- a bottom chassis portion;
- a top chassis portion;
- a print head positioned within the top chassis portion;
- and
- a plurality of offset pins coupled to the print head, wherein the plurality of offset pins abuts the bottom chassis portion such that a top surface of the bottom chassis portion causes a bottom surface of the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the top surface of the bottom chassis portion, wherein the top surface of the bottom chassis portion is configured to receive print media, and wherein the plurality of offset pins enables the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the bottom chassis portion.
A print engine assembly comprising:
- a print head chassis comprising:
- a bottom chassis portion;
- a top chassis portion;
- a print head positioned within the top chassis portion;
- and
- a plurality of offset pins coupled to the print head, wherein the plurality of offset pins abuts the bottom chassis portion such that a top surface of the bottom chassis portion causes a bottom surface of the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the top surface of the bottom chassis portion, wherein the top surface of the bottom chassis portion is configured to receive print media, and wherein the plurality of offset pins enables the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the bottom chassis portion.
A print head comprising:
- a top surface configured to be coupled to a top chassis portion of a print engine assembly, through at least one biasing member;
- and
- a bottom surface configured to be coupled to a plurality of offset pins, wherein the plurality of offset pins is configured to be abutting a top surface of a bottom chassis portion of the print engine assembly such that the top surface of the bottom chassis portion causes the bottom surface of the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the top surface of the bottom chassis portion, wherein the top surface of the bottom chassis portion is configured to receive print media, and wherein the plurality of offset pins enables the bottom surface of the print head to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the top surface of the bottom chassis portion.
