Abstract

The invention provides a multi-compartment printing unit that can be used in a cleanroom without introducing outside contaminants such as particulates and microorganisms. A portable printing cabinet, comprising: a housing forming an enclosed interior configured to receive a printing device, wherein an opening formed in a side of the housing is configured to receive printed paper ejected from the printing device, the housing having a top surface with a step-up portion; an L-shaped hinged cover that forms part of the step-up portion of the top surface of the housing; and an air filtration unit located within the housing, the air filtration unit comprising a fan and a filter, wherein the air filtration unit is arranged to filter air from the interior of the housing by the fan blowing air out of the housing through the filter such that a negative pressure is achieved within the interior.

Claims (23)

What is claimed:
1. A portable printing cabinet, comprising: a housing forming an enclosed interior configured to receive a printing device, wherein an opening formed in a side of the housing is configured to receive printed paper ejected from the printing device, the housing having a top surface with a step-up portion; an L-shaped hinged cover that forms part of the step-up portion of the top surface of the housing; and an air filtration unit located within the housing, the air filtration unit comprising a fan and a filter, wherein the air filtration unit is arranged to filter air from the interior of the housing by the fan blowing air out of the housing through the filter such that a negative pressure is achieved within the interior.
2. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a second hinged cover fixed to the housing adjacent to the hinged cover.
3. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising an interior shelf located within the housing defining an upper portion of the housing and a lower portion of the interior.
4. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a vent positioned on the housing.
5. The portable printing cabinet of claim 4, wherein the fan is configured to force air from the interior of the housing to the outside of the housing through the vent.
6. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a door fixed to the housing.
7. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a second air filtration unit located within the housing and having vents positioned on the housing.
8. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of wheels fixed to a bottom surface of the housing.
9. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a data connection port located on the housing, a power outlet located on the housing, or a battery located within the housing and electrically connected to the power outlet.
10. The portable printing cabinet of claim 1, further comprising a paper guide configured to transport the printed paper ejected from the printing device to the opening.
11. A printing cabinet for housing a printing device having a dispensing end that expels printed paper, comprising: a housing for receiving a discrete printing device having a defined exterior surface, wherein an opening is formed in a side of the housing, the opening aligned with the dispensing end of the discrete printing device; an interior shelf located within the housing defining an upper portion of the housing and a lower portion of the housing, wherein a first section of the upper portion of the housing associated with a paper receiving end of the discrete printing device includes a top surface having a step-up portion as compared to a second section of the upper portion of the housing associated with the dispensing end of the discrete printing device; at least one L-shaped hinged cover that forms part of the step-up portion of the top surface of the upper portion of the housing; and a paper tray that extends outwardly from the side of the housing and directly aligned with and adjacent to the opening of the housing to receive the printed paper expelled by the discrete printing device.
12. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising a filtration unit including a fan and a filter, the fan configured to blow air out of the housing through the filter.
13. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising at least one hinged cover fixed to the housing.
14. The printing cabinet of claim 11, wherein the L-shaped hinged cover includes a window.
15. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising a second hinged cover fixed to the top surface of the upper portion of the housing adjacent to the step-up portion.
16. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising at least one door fixed to the housing.
17. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising a second air filtration unit located within the housing and having vents positioned on the outside of the housing.
18. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising a plurality of wheels fixed to a bottom surface of the housing and a handle fixed to a side of the housing such that the printing cabinet is portable.
19. The printing cabinet of claim 11, further comprising at least one data connection port located on the housing, a power outlet located on the housing, or a battery located within the housing and being electrically connected to the power outlet.
20. The printing cabinet of claim 11, wherein the paper tray includes at least two prongs at one end for engaging with the opening of the housing and removably engaging the paper tray thereto.
21. The printing cabinet of claim 11, wherein the paper tray has a top edge and an opposing bottom edge, such that the top edge is directly aligned with and adjacent to the opening of the housing.
22. The printing cabinet of claim 11, wherein the printed paper rests against the bottom edge of the paper tray once expelled by the discrete printing device.
23. The printing cabinet of claim 11, wherein the filtration unit is configured to maintain a negative pressure within the housing.
