Abstract
This invention relates to a printer having a housing, a print engine, and inlet and exit roller assemblies. The housing has an upper cover, a lower cover, a first side wall and a second, opposed side wall. The print engine is housed within the housing and has two print head assemblies arranged in opposed relationship to enable double sided printing onto media passed through the housing. The inlet roller assembly feeds media into the housing, and the exit roller assembly feeds the media out of the housing. A relationship between a spacing between the print engine and the exit roller assembly and a media speed is such that ink printed by the print engine is allowed to dry before passing through the exit roller assembly.
