Integrated sensor assembly for media processing devices

A media processing device, comprising:

• a print head;
• a housing supporting the print head, and defining (i) a media chamber configured to receive a media supply, and (ii) a ribbon chamber configured to receive a supply of ribbon;
• a media guide coupled to the housing, the media guide defining a portion of a media path extending from the media supply to the print head;
• a first sensor support affixed to the media guide on a first side of the media path, the first side located between the media path and a ribbon path extending from the ribbon chamber to the print head;
• a ribbon sensor on a ribbon-facing side of the first sensor support;
• a first media sensor on an opposite, media-facing side of the first sensor support;
• a second sensor support affixed to the media guide on a second side of the media path, opposite the first side of the media path;
• and
• a second media sensor on a media-facing side of the second sensor support
• wherein the media guide comprises:
• an inner surface defining a boundary of the media path;
• a first carriage extending from the inner surface for receiving the first sensor support;
• and
• a second carriage extending from the inner surface for receiving the second sensor support.
