Abstract
A printing device includes, in one example, a media output system including a mezzanine level including a plurality of media support members, the mezzanine level being intermediate to a floor level and a media output level; wherein the plurality of media support members move orthogonally relative to a print media path so that a number of finishing processes may be performed on print media accumulated on the number of media support members.
Claims15
A printing device, comprising:
- a media output system comprising a mezzanine level comprising a plurality of media support members, the mezzanine level being intermediate to a floor level and a media output level;
- wherein the plurality of media support members move orthogonally relative to a print media path so that a number of finishing processes may be performed on print media accumulated on the number of media support members.
A method for finishing a number of sheets of print media, comprising:
- accumulating a number of sheets of print media onto a plurality of media support members within a media output system;
- and
- moving the plurality of media support members in a direction orthogonal to the direction of a media feed path;
- wherein a first media support member of the plurality of media support members advances relatively faster than a second media support member of the plurality of media support members.
A media output system, comprising:
- a plurality of media support members to receive a number of sheets of print media from a printing device;
- and
- a print finishing device to conduct finishing processes on the number of sheets of print media;
- wherein the plurality of media support members transport the number of sheets of print media towards the finishing device with each of the plurality of media support members moving at different speeds relative to each other.
