Modular printer assembly with arcuate printheads

Abstract

A modular printer assembly includes a housing having an upper cover, a lower cover, a first side wall, and a second side wall opposing the first side wall; a pair of communication ports, a first communication port of the pair for connecting the modular printer assembly with a first external printer assembly, and the second communication port of the pair for connecting the modular printer assembly with a second external printer assembly, whereby the modular printer assembly is included in a daisy chain of printer assemblies; and a print engine having two printhead assemblies defining a media feed path therebetween, each of the two printhead assemblies having two arcuate printheads provided adjacent each other in a downstream direction. Each arcuate printhead has a radius of curvature approximating a radius of a respective roller assembly provided adjacent each arcuate printhead.
