Definitions

• toner deprivation i.e., alternating light and dark areas of printing.
• Reservation confirmation form 66 also can be used for confirming hotel reservations or any similar matter to be handled by the ticket agent or travel agent. Both types of travel coupons 50 and 66 shown in Figures 2 and 3 can be stored in and printed by the printer 44 upon demand.
• the print engine 88 does not itself form a part of the invention and will not be described in detail herein.
• the print engine 88 is of the type described more fully in U.S. Patent 4,160,257 and 4,267,556 for example.
• the card transfer drive unit 98 is illustrated principally in Figures 7 and 8, and additionally in Figures 6, 9, and 10.
• Figure 7 is a top plan view of the transfer mechanism 98 with the cover shown in Figure 5 removed.
• the mechanism includes a U-shaped base plate 106 to which are secured a pair of extension arms 108 and 111 (also See Figure 9) .
• Pivot pins 112 and 114 extend from the ends of the arms 108 and 111 respectively and are pivotably mounted on the printer frame, for example at point 113 in Figure 5.
• the unit 98 can be pivoted upwardly to a position such as that shown by the dashed lines 98' in Figure 5 to provide access to the card' storage bins and to the feed mechanism on the under side of the plate 106.
• the correction can be made easily by simply sliding the printer out of its cabinet (or opening its own cabinet, if it is a stand-alone unit) , lifting the feed mechanisms 96 and 98, removing the two cards, returning them to the appropriate bin, lowering . the feed mechanisms 96 and 98, and re-starting the machine.
• This static RAM has a battery backup so that, in the event of a power failure, an inerasable record will be kept of the number of times a multiple pick has occurred in a given machine.
• Figure 28 shows a stack of coupons 50 and the long feed roller 138 also shown in Figures 8 and 9 for feeding the coupons along the guide 222 ( Figures 11, 16 and 17) past the magnetic recording and reading equipment (not shown in Figure 28) towards a pair of pinch rollers 1405 and 1407 which are not shown elsewhere in the drawings. These rollers stabilize the speed of the documents and further urge them down the guide towards the nip between the drum 109 and the pressure roller 111.
• the timing circuit consisting of the capacitor 530 and resistors 528 and 532 serves to automatically turn off the firing circuit in case the enabling pulse accidentally remains turned on - a situation-which can cause streaks in the printing, if it occurs.
• Computer variables are used in a computer program to represent the status of hardware. Variables are used in computer programs to represent the results of computer calculations or the results of other computer operations.
• the variable is referred to in the computer by a name.
• the name represents an address in the memory. At the actual address is marked the calculation, status, or result.
• Spring 159.2 wraps around pulley wheel 1590 which is rotatably mounted on shaft 1598. This' " shaft is affixed to back panel 1602.
• Spring 1592 is anchored at one end to back panel 1602 by spring connector 1594 and at the other end to the top of bearing housing 1574 by connector 1596.
• the upward force of spring 1592 on bearing housing 1574 pulls the form tray upwardly- on guide shaft 1568 until bearing housing 1574 presses against retaining ring 1570.
