Description

MEDIA GUIDE LATCHING

Background

[0001] Printing devices may be utilized to generate images on print media. For example, inkjet printing devices can deposit quantities of printing fluid onto a printable media (e.g., paper, plastic, etc.). The printing devices may be connected by a media pathway device to a finisher that may perform a finishing process on the printable media. In some examples, the media pathway device can be a bridge pathway device that connects the printing device to the finisher in some examples, a bridge pathway can be positioned at a particular angle. For example, the printing device can have an output at a first height and the finisher can have an input at a second height. In this example, the bridge pathway device can provide an angled media pathway from the printing device to the finisher.

A number of systems and devices for media guide latching are described herein in some examples, media guide latching may include a media pathway device that includes a first media guide positioned to contact a first side of print media and a second media guide positioned to contact a second side of print media, such as to collectively operate to receive and/or guide print media. In some examples, the first media guide and the second media guide may be latched utilizing the systems and devices for media guide latching described herein. For example, a a media pathway device, comprising: a first guide coupled to a first pivot point and a second guide coupled to a second pivot point, a first latch bar is to interact with the first guide to lock the first guide on a first side of a media pathway, a second latch bar is to interact with the second guide to lock the second guide on a second side of the media pathway, and a handle coupled to the first latch bar and the second latch bar to enable alteration of a position of the first latch bar and the second latch bar in response to application of a force on the handle.

[0012] In some examples, a printing device (e.g., inkjet printing device, etc.) may be connected to a finisher device by a bridge pathway. In some

implementations, a printing device may be a device that generates an image on print media (e.g., paper media, plastic media, etc.). For example, a printing device may be an inkjet printing device that may deposit printing fluid on print media such as paper to generate an image on the paper. In some implementations, a finisher device may include a device that may perform a finishing process on print media. For example, a finisher device may be a device that may perform a folding process, a stapling process, a collating process, a three-hole punch process among other finishing processes on partially dried inkjet media received from an inkjet printing device.

7 [0013] In some implementations, a bridge pathway may include a media pathway device that generates a media pathway from a printing device to a finisher device. In some examples, a media pathway device can include media guides that generate a media pathway to transport print media. A bridge pathway can be a specific type of media pathway device that generate a media pathway between the printing device and a finisher device. In some examples, the bridge pathway may include a sloped media pathway. For example, an output of the printing device may be at a first height or first level and the input of the finisher device may be at a second height or a second level. In some examples, the output of the printing device may be at a higher level than an input of the finisher device. In these examples, the bridge pathway may be at a downward slope from the output of the printing device that is at a higher level to the input of the finisher device that is at a lower level.

[0014] In some examples, the bridge pathway may include a first media guide with media rollers to contact a first side of the print media (e.g., top side of the print media, etc.) and a second media guide with rollers to contact a second side of the print media (e.g., bottom side of the print media, etc.) in some examples, the bridge pathway may be a difficult location to remove a paper jam and/or perform

maintenance. For example, the bridge pathway may be a relatively small area that may be difficult for a user to remove a paper jam when the first media guide and second media guide are positioned to receive the print media from the printing device.

[0015] In some examples, the first media guide and the second media guide may be coupled to an actuator or actuator arm that may move the first media guide in a first direction and move the second media guide in a second direction. In these examples, the actuator may be utilized to increase a space between the first media guide and the second media guide in some examples, increasing the space between the first media guide and the second media guide may be utilized to remove paper jams and/or perform maintenance within the enclosure of the bridge pathway.

[0018] In some examples, the first media guide and the second media guide may be coupled to corresponding latch bars (e.g., a first latch bar and a second latch bar, etc.) in some examples, the corresponding latch bars may be coupled to a handle that may be altered from a locked position (e.g., active position, etc.) to an unlocked position (e.g., inactive position, etc.) in some examples, the locked position may lock the first media guide and the second media guide in an active position that may be utilized to receive print media from a printing device in some examples, the unlocked position may allow the actuator or actuator arms to move the first media guide and the second media guide to increase the space between the first media guide and the second media guide that may be utilized to remove paper jams and/or perform maintenance.

[0017] The systems and devices for media guide latching may provide an accessible handle that allows the first media guide and the second media guide to be separated to provide more space for removing paper jams and/or performing maintenance. In some examples, the systems and devices may include an actuator to more easily reposition the first media guide and the second media guide from a locked position to an unlocked position compared to previous systems and methods in some examples, the handle may be utilized to alter a position of a first latch bar to unlock a first media guide and alter a position of a second latch bar to unlock a second media guide. In these examples, the first media guide may be moved in a first direction (e.g., away from the second media guide) and the second media guide may be moved in a second direction (e.g., away from the first media guide) when the first media guide and the second media guide are unlocked.

[0018] The figures herein follow a numbering convention in which the first digit corresponds to the drawing figure number and the remaining digits identify an element or component in the drawing. Elements shown in the various figures herein may be capable of being added, exchanged, and/or eliminated so as to provide a number of additional examples of the present disclosure. In addition, the proportion and the relative scale of the elements provided in the figures are intended to illustrate the examples of the present disclosure, and should not be taken in a limiting sense

[0019] Figure 1 illustrates an example of a system 100 for media guide latching. In some examples, the system 100 may represent a portion of a media pathway device for generating a media pathway for transporting print media from first location to a second location (e.g., from a printing device to a finisher device, etc.). For example, system 100 may include a media pathway device of a bridge pathway between a printing device and a finisher device. In some examples, the bridge pathway may receive print media from the printing device and provide the print media to the finisher device for a finishing process (e.g., stacking process, folding process, stapling process, etc.). In some examples, the bridge pathway may be positioned at a downward angle. That is, a bridge pathway may receive print media from the printing device at a first height and provide the print media to the finisher device at a second height that is lower than the first height.

[0020] In some examples, the media pathway device of system 100 may include a first media guide 105 positioned at a first side (e.g., side that contacts a top side of the print media, etc.) of the media pathway device and a second media guide (not shown) positioned at a second side (e.g , side that contacts a bottom side of the print media, etc.) of the media pathway device. In some examples, the system 100 may include a number of rollers 116 to move the print media from a first location to a second location. For example, the number of rollers 116 may be utilized to move the print media from an output of the printing device to an input of the finisher device. In some examples, the number of rollers 116 may be motorized rollers that actively move the print media. In some examples, the number of rollers 116 may be passive rollers that correspond to motorized rollers of a second media guide.

[0021] At times, it may be difficult to remove media jams (e.g., paper jams, etc.) from the system 100 and/or a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway. In some examples, the system 100 may include a handle 102 to release the first media guide 105 and the second media guide to increase a space between the first media guide 105 and the second media guide for removing media jams and/or performing maintenance on the system 100. In some examples, the handle 102 may be coupled to a first latch bar 104 with a connection. In some examples, the first latch bar 104 may be utilized to lock the first media guide 105 in an active position (e.g., position to receive print media in conjunction with a second media guide, position utilized during operation of the system 100, etc.) and unlock the first media guide 105 to an inactive position (e.g., position to remove a media jam, position to perform maintenance, position to increase a space between the first media guide 105 and a second media guide, etc.).

[0022] In some examples, the handle 102 may enable movement the first latch bar 104 from a first position to a second position. For example, the handle 102 may be used (such as through the application of a pushing and/or pulling force by a user, by way of example) to move the first latch bar 104 from an active position to an inactive position. In some implementations, a handle 102 can include a device that can be utilized to manipulate the first latch bar 104 and the second latch bar 106. in some examples, the handle 102 may be moved toward the first latch bar 104 to lock the first media guide 105 in a locked position and/or active position. For example, the handle 102 may be pushed toward the first latch bar 104 to move the first latch bar 104 to a position that locks the first latch bar 104 by positioning a portion of the first latch bar 104 into an aperture 107 of an enclosure 128 of the system 100 (e.g., enclosure of a printing device, etc.). In another example, the handle 102 may be pulled away from the first latch bar 104 to a position that unlocks the first latch bar 104 by removing the portion of the first latch bar 104 from the aperture 107 of the enclosure 128. That is, the handle 102 can be used to position a portion of the first latch bar 104 through the aperture 107 to interact with the enclosure 128 of the system 100 in a locked position. And the handle 102 can be used to position the first latch bar 104 within the enclosure 128 and not through the aperture 107 (such as retracting latch bar 104 from the aperture 107) in an unlocked position.

[0023] In some examples, the handle 102 may be directly coupled to the first latch bar 104 such that the first latch bar 104 moves in the same direction as the handle 102. For example, pushing the handle 102 in a first direction toward arrow 103-1 may move the first latch bar 104 in the first direction toward the aperture 107. in this example, pulling the handle 102 in a second direction toward arrow 103-2 may move the first latch bar 104 in the second direction away from the aperture 107. In this way, the handle 102 may provide a mechanism for directly moving the first latch bar 104 to and from a locked position and an unlocked position. For example, the handle 102 may provide a mechanism for directly moving the first latch bar 104 in a direction of 103-1 and/or direction 103-2 to lock and unlock the first media guide 105.

[0024] As noted, there may be an interest in allowing the first media guide 105 and the second media guide to move/articulate to allow access, such as to clear a paper jam. In some implementations, application of feree to the handle 102 may enable movement of a second latch bar 108, such as to allow the second media guide to release to an open position, and thereby provide access to a space previously occupied by the media pathway between the first media guide 105 and second media guide. In some examples, the handle 102 may be coupled to a second latch bar 106. in some examples, the second latch bar 106 may be coupled to an edge of the first media guide 105. For example, the handle 102 may extend from a left edge of the first media guide 105 as illustrated in Figure 5 In this example, the second latch bar 108 may be coupled along the left edge of the first media guide 105. in some examples, the second latch bar 106 may be coupled to a pin 110. In some examples, the pin 110 may be coupled within a track 112 of the handle 102. In this way, the handle 102 may alter a position of the second latch bar 106 while the handle 102 is altering a position of the first latch bar 104. In some implementations, a track 112 can include a line of travel or motion and/or a course or route followed by a pin 110.

[0025] In some examples, the handle 102 may move the second latch bar 106 to and from a first position and a second position. For example, the handle 102 may be moved from a first position to a second position by pushing the handle 102 toward arrow 103-1 or pulling the handle 102 toward arrow 103-2. in this example, the handle 102 may alter a position of the pin 110 within the track 112 when the handle 102 moves from the first position to the second position. In this example, the pin 110 may move from a first position within the track 112 to a second position within the track 112. In this way, the handle 102 may move the second latch bar 106 from a first position to a second position when the pin 110 moves from the first position to the second position within the track 112. For example, the handle 102 can move toward arrow 103-2. In this example, the pin 110 can move within the track 112 toward arrow 101-1 and the second latch bar 106 can also move toward arrow 101- 1. In a different example, the handle 102 can move toward arrow 103-1 , which can move the pin within the track 112 toward arrow 101-2 and move the second latch bar 106 toward arrow 101-2.

[0026] In some examples, the second latch bar 106 may be coupled to a lock portion 114. In some examples, the lock portion 114 may be utilized to interact with a locking mechanism (e.g., datum, locking datum, etc.) of the second media guide in some examples, the lock portion 114 may extend from the first media guide 105 to the second media guide to interact with a datum coupled to the second print media guide. As used herein, a datum includes a fixed lip or edge that may interact with a lock portion 114. For example, the lock portion 114 may extend below the datum of the second media guide and lock the second media guide in an active position. In this example, the lock portion 114 may move away from the datum and unlock the second media guide to allow an actuator or actuator arm to separate the first media guide 105 and the second media guide.

[0027] In some examples, the handle 102 may be utilized to move the second latch bar 106 from a first position to a second position utilizing a track 112 coupled to the handle 102 and a pin 110 coupled to the second latch bar 106. In some examples, the track 112 may receive the pin 110 and allow the pin 110 to move from a first position within the track 112 to a second position within the track 112. in some examples, the pin 110 may move from a first side of the handle 102 (e.g., side toward arrow 101-2) to a second side of the handle 102 (e.g., side toward arrow 101- 1). For example, the pin 110 may move from a left side of the handle 102 as illustrated by in Figure 1 to a right side of the handle 102 as illustrated in Figure 1 (e.g., move in the direction of arrow 101-1 , move from arrow 101-2 toward arrow' 101-1 , etc.). That is, the pin 110 may move in the direction of arrow 101-1 as illustrated in Figure 1 when the handle 102 is moved in the direction of arrow 103-2. in this way, movement of the handle 102 can move the second latch bar 106 in the direction of arrow 101-1 when a user pulls the handle 102 in the direction of arrow 103-2 to unlock the first media guide 105 and the second media guide. In this example, the movement of the pin 110 can move the second latch bar 106 from a locked position away from the handle 102 (e.g., direction of arrow 101-2) to an unlocked positioned toward the direction of the handle 102 (e.g., toward the direction of arrow 101-1).

[0028] In some examples, the track 112 may be positioned such that the first position of the track 112 is relatively closer to a first end of the handle 102 and the second position of the track 112 is relatively closer to a second end of the handle 102. In this way, when the pin 110 moves from the first position of the track 112 to the second position of the track 112, the pin 110 and the second latch bar 106 moves toward the second end of the handle 102. In addition, when the pin 110 moves from the second position of the track 112 to the first position of the track 112, the pin 110 and the second latch bar 106 moves toward the first end of the handle 102.

[0029] In some examples, the handle 102 may simultaneously move the first latch bar 104 and the second latch bar 106. For example, the handle 102 may be pushed toward the first latch bar 104 (e.g., pushed toward arrow 103-1) to lock the first latch bar 104 and the second latch bar 106 in an active position. In this example, the first latch bar 104 may move toward the arrow 103-1 as illustrated in Figure 1 to move through the aperture 107 to lock the first media guide 105. In this example, the second latch bar 106 may move toward the arrow 101-2 as illustrated in Figure 1 to interact with a datum of the second media guide in this example, the pin 110 may move from a first position to a second position within the track 112 toward arrow 101 2 to move the second latch bar 106 toward the arrow 101-2 as illustrated in Figure 1. Thus, the system 100 may provide a single handle (e.g., handle 102) that may lock a first media guide 105 and a second media guide in an active position and unlock the first media guide 105 and the second media guide to an inactive position.

[0030] Figure 2 illustrates an example of a system 200 in an active position for media guide latching. In some examples, the system 200 may be in an active position when the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220 is in a locked position to receive or contact print media.

[0031] In some examples, the system 200 may include the same or similar elements as system 100 as referenced in Figure 1. For example, the system 200 may be a side view of a media pathway device to transport print media from a first location to a second location. In another example, the system 200 may include a handle 202 that may alter a position of a first latch bar 204 and a second latch bar 206 to lock or unlock a first media guide 205 and a second media guide 220. As shown in Figure 2, the system 200 illustrates a first media guide 205 and a second media guide 220 in an active position, such as may be utilized to receive print media.

[0032] In some examples, the system 200 may comprise a bridge pathway that may receive print media at an input 225 and provide the print media at an output 227. For example, the system 200 may be positioned between a printing device and a finisher device. In this example, the system 200 may receive print media from an output of a printing device coupled to the input 225 of the system 200 and provide the print media to an input of the finisher device coupled to the output 227 of the finisher device. In some examples, the input 225 may be positioned above the output 227. For example, the input 225 may be positioned at a first height, the media pathway of the media pathway device may be angled toward the output 227 that may be positioned at a second height that is lower than the first height.

[0033] In some example, the system 200 may include a handle 202 that may enable simultaneous locking and unlocking (or approximately simultaneous locking and unlocking) of the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220, such as by utilizing the first latch bar 204 and the second latch bar 206, respectively. As illustrated in Figure 2, the first media guide 205 may be positioned at a first side of a media pathway (e.g., top side of the media pathway as illustrated in Figure 2) and the second media guide 220 may be positioned at a second side of the media pathway (e.g., bottom side of the media pathway as illustrated in Figure 2). In some examples, the first latch bar 204 and the second latch bar 206 may lock the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220 in an active position as illustrated in Figure 2. That is, the first latch bar 204 may lock the first media guide 205 on the first side of the media pathway and the second latch bar 206 may lock the second media guide 220 on the second side of the media pathway, such as to receive and guide print media.

[0034] In some examples, the handle 202 may be utilized to alter a position of the first latch bar 204 to unlock the first media guide 205 and alter a position of the second latch bar 206 to unlock the second media guide 220. in these examples, the first media guide 205 may be moved in a first direction (e.g., away from the second media guide 220, toward the top of the system 200 as illustrated in Figure 2, etc.) and the second media guide 220 may be moved in a second direction (e.g., away from the first media guide 205, toward the bottom of the system 200 as illustrated in Figure 2, etc.) when the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220 are unlocked.

[0035] In some examples, the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220 may be coupled to an actuator 222. In some examples, the actuator 222 may be utilized to move the first media guide 205 in a first direction and move the second media guide 220 in a second direction when the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220 are unlocked in some examples, the actuator 222 may include a spring loaded device to provide force on the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220. In other cases, the actuator 222 may not be spring loaded, but may allow rotation when a number of actuator arms (e.g., actuator arm 629-1 as illustrated in Figure 6, etc.) provide a force on the first media guide 205 and the second media guide 220.

[0036] In some examples, the first media guide 205 may be coupled to an enclosure 228 of the system 200 by a pin 224. in some examples, the pin 224 may allow the first media guide 205 to pivot on the pin 224. For example, when the first media guide 205 is unlocked, the actuator 222 may apply a force on the first media guide 205 in a first direction in this example, the first media guide 205 may pivot on the pin 224 such that an opposite extremity of the first media guide 205 (e.g., the side of the first media guide 205 proximate to the handle 202) may move in an upward direction away from the media pathway in another example, the second media guide 220 may be coupled to the enclosure 228 of the system 200 by a pin 226. Similarly, the pin 226 may allow the second media guide 220 to pivot on the pin 226 when the lock portion 214 of the second latch bar 206 unlocks the second media guide 220. For example, the handle 202 may be utilized to move the second latch bar 206 into an inactive position in this example, the actuator 222 may apply a downward force and the second media guide 220 may pivot on the pin 226 and move in a downward direction away from the media pathway.

[0037] Figure 3 illustrates an example of a system 300 in an inactive position for media guide latching. In some examples, the system 300 may be in an inactive position when the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 are in an unlocked position to increase a space between the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320.

[0038] In some examples, the system 300 may include the same or similar elements as system 100 as referenced in Figure 1 and/or system 200 as referenced in Figure 2. For example, the system 300 may comprise a side view of a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway in another example, the system 300 may include a handle 302 that may alter a position of a first latch bar 304 and a second latch bar 306 to lock or unlock a first media guide 305 and a second media guide 320. The system 300 may illustrate a first media guide 305 and a second media guide 320 in an inactive position that may be utilized to create a greater space between the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 for maintenance or removing a media jam.

[0039] In some examples, the system 300 may comprise a bridge pathway that may receive print media at an input and provide the print media at an output. For example, the system 300 may be positioned between a printing device and a finisher device in this example, the system 300 may receive print media from an output of a printing device coupled to the input of the system 300 and provide the print media to an input of the finisher device coupled to the output of the finisher device. In some examples, the input of the system 300 may be positioned above the output of the system 300. For example, the input of the system 300 may be positioned at a first height, the media pathway of the media pathway device may be angled toward the output of the system 300 that may be positioned at a second height that is lower than the first height.

[0040] In some example, the system 300 may include a handle 302 that may enable simultaneous locking and unlocking of the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 utilizing a first latch bar (not shown) and the second latch bar 308 respectively. For example, the first latch bar can be positioned within an aperture 307 of the enclosure 328 when the system 300 is in a locked position. As illustrated in Figure 3, the first media guide 305 may be positioned at a first side of a media pathway (e.g., top side of the media pathway as illustrated in Figure 3) and the second media guide 320 may be positioned at a second side of the media pathway (e.g., bottom side of the media pathway as illustrated in Figure 3). That is, the media pathway device may include a space between the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 in an active position illustrated in Figure 2 that acts as the media pathway to transport print media from a first location to a second location. In some examples, the first latch bar (e.g., first latch bar 204 as illustrated in Figure 2, first latch bar 104 as illustrated in Figure 1 , etc.) and the second latch bar 306 may unlock or release the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 in an inactive position as illustrated in Figure 3. That is, when the first latch bar and the second latch bar 306 release the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320, the first media guide 305 may be moved in a first direction (e.g., toward the top of system 300 as illustrated in Figure 3) and the second media guide 320 may be moved in a second direction (e.g., toward the bottom of the system 300 as illustrated in Figure 3). in some examples, the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 may move in opposite directions away from the media pathway when the first latch bar and the second latch bar release the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320.

[0041] In some examples, the handle 302 may be utilized to alter a position of the first latch bar to unlock the first media guide 305 and alter a position of the second latch bar 306 to unlock the second media guide 320. in some examples, the first media guide 305 may be coupled to an actuator 322 by a first actuator bar 330-1 and the second media guide 320 may be coupled to the actuator 322 by a second actuator bar 330-2. In some examples, the actuator 322 may be utilized to move the first media guide 305 in a first direction and move the second media guide 320 in a second direction when the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320 are unlocked. In some implementations, the actuator 322 includes a spring loaded device to provide force on the first media guide 305 with the first actuator bar 330-1 and provide force on the second media guide 320 with the second actuator bar 330- 2 [0042] In some examples, the first media guide 305 may be coupled to an enclosure 328 of the system 300 by a pin 324. in some examples, the pin 324 may allow the first media guide 305 to pivot on the pin 324. For example, when the first media guide 305 is unlocked, the actuator 322 may apply a force on the first media guide 305 in a first direction with the first actuator bar 330-1. In this example, the first media guide 305 may pivot on the pin 324 such that a right side of the first media guide 305 may move in an upward direction away from the media pathway and stop at a position illustrated in Figure 3. in another example, the second media guide 320 may be coupled to the enclosure 328 of the system 300 by a pin 326. Similarly, the pin 326 may allow the second media guide 320 to pivot on the pin 326 when the lock portion 314 of the second latch bar 306 unlocks the second media guide 320.

[0043] As illustrated in Figure 3, the unlocked or inactive position of the system 300 may provide a greater space between the first media guide 305 and the second media guide 320. Thus, the actuator 322 may move the first media guide 305 in an upward direction away from the media pathway using the first actuator bar 330- 1 and the actuator 322 may move the second media guide 320 in a downward direction away from the media pathway using the second actuator bar 330-2 such that a greater space exists to perform maintenance or remove media jams from the system 300.

[0044] Figure 4 illustrates an example of a system 400 in an active position for media guide latching in some examples, the system 400 may include the same or similar elements as system 300 as referenced in Figure 3, system 200 as referenced in Figure 2, and/or the system 100 as referenced in Figure 1. in some examples, the system 400 may illustrate a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway in an active position. For example, the system 400 may be in a locked position with the first latch bar (not illustrated) and the second latch bar 406 to receive print media at an input 425 from a printing device and provide the print media at an output 427 to a finisher device.

[0045] In some examples, a first latch bar (not shown) may be utilized to lock the first media guide 405 in an active position and the second latch bar 406 may lock the second media guide 420 in an active position in addition, the first media guide 405 may be coupled to the enclosure 428 by a pin 424 and the second media guide 420 may be coupled to the enclosure 428 by a pin 426. In some examples, the pin 424 may be a pivot point for the first media guide 405 and the pin 426 may be a pivot point for the second media guide 420 when the system 400 is in an unlocked position.

[0046] In some examples, the second latch bar 406 may include a lock portion 414 that extends from the first print media guide 405 to the second print media guide 420 to interact with a datum 440 coupled to the second print media guide 420. For example, the lock portion 414 may extend from the second latch bar 406 that is coupled to the first media guide 405 to a position below the datum 440 to lock the second media guide 420 in the active position. In some examples, an actuator (e.g., actuator 322 as illustrated in Figure 3) may apply a constant upward force on the second media guide 420 and the lock portion 414 may interact with the datum 440 to prevent the second media guide 420 from lowering to an inactive or unlocked position.

[0047] In some examples, the second latch bar 406 may be coupled to the handle 402 with a pin 410 positioned within a track 412. In some examples, the handle 402 may move a position of the pin 410 within the track 412. For example, the handle 402 may move the second latch bar 406 toward the left of the system 400 as illustrated in Figure 4 when the handle 402 is in a locked position. In this example, the second latch bar 406 may move the lock portion 414 under the datum 440 to prevent the second media guide 420 from moving in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 4. In another example, the handle 402 may move the second latch bar 406 toward the right of the system 400 as illustrated in Figure 4 when the handle 402 is an unlocked position. In this example, the second latch bar 406 may move the lock portion 414 away from the datum 440 to allow the second media guide 420 to move in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 4. In this way, the handle 402 may simultaneously unlock the first media guide 405 and the second media guide 420.

[0048] Figure 5 illustrates an example of a system 500 including a lock portion for media guide latching. System 500 may illustrate a portion of a media pathway device such as bridge pathway. In some examples, the system 500 may include the same or similar elements as system 100 as referenced in Figure 1 , system 200 as illustrated in Figure 2, system 300 as illustrated in Figure 3, and/or system 400 as referenced in Figure 4. Figure 5 may illustrate a view of the second media guide 520- 1 in a locked position and a view of the second media guide 520-2 in an unlocked position. [0049] In some examples, the second media guide 520-1 may represent the system in a locked position in some examples, the second media guide 520-1 may include a datum 540-1 that may interact with a lock portion 514-1 that may be coupled to a second latch bar 506-1 by a bracket 550-1 that may extend the lock portion 514-1 from the first media guide 505-1 to the second media guide 520-1 to allow the lock portion 514-1 to interact with the datum 540-1 of the second media guide 520-1. In addition, the second latch bar 506-1 may include a lip portion 554-1 that may interact with a datum 552-1 of the first media guide 505-1.

[0050] In a locked position, the second latch bar 506-1 may interact with the datum 552-1 via the lip portion 554-1 and interact with the datum 540-1 via the lock portion 514-1 and the bracket 550-1. in this way, the second latch bar 506-1 may more securely lock the second media guide 520-1 by utilizing the fixed datums 540- 1 , 552-1. For example, the interaction between the datum 540-1 and the lock portion 514-1 may prevent the second media guide 520-1 from moving in a first direction (e.g., downward direction as illustrated in Figure 5) and the interaction between the datum 552-1 and the lip portion 554-1 may prevent the second media guide 520-1 from moving in a second direction (e.g., upward direction as illustrated in Figure 5). in this way, the second media guide 520-1 may be securely locked in the active position to prevent the second media guide 520-1 from moving during operation.

[0051] In some examples, the second latch bar 506-1 , 506-2 may move from the locked position as illustrated by the second latch bar 506-1 to an unlocked position as illustrated by the second latch bar 506-2. In some examples, the second latch bar 506-2 may be positioned such that the lock portion 514-2 is not able to interact with the datum 540-2. In this way, the second media guide 520-2 is able to move in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 5 to move away from the media pathway in some examples, the lip portion 554-2 of the second latch bar 506-2 may still interact with the datum 552-2 to prevent the second latch bar 506-2 from moving during operation. For example, the interaction between the lip portion 554-2 and the datum 552-2 may prevent the second latch bar 506-2 from moving in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 5, which may prevent the lock portion 514-2 from interacting with the datum 540-2 when relocking or activating the second media guide 520-2.

[0052] Figure 6 illustrates an example of a system 600 including an actuator arm 629-1 for media guide latching in some examples, the system 600 may be a

13 portion of a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway in some examples, the system 600 may include the same or similar elements as system 100 as referenced in Figure 1 , system 200 as illustrated in Figure 2, system 300 as illustrated in Figure 3, system 400 as referenced in Figure 4, and/or system 500 as referenced in Figure 5. For example, the system 600 may include a pin 629-2 coupled to an actuator arm 629-1 that may apply a pressure on a slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630 to align a media guide 620 (e.g., second media guide 620, etc.) when the media guide 620 is in a locked position described herein. For example, the media guide 620 can be locked by a latch bar (e.g., second latch bar 206 as illustrated in Figure 2, etc.).

[0053] In some examples, the pin 629-2 may be coupled to a slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630. For example, the pin 629-2 may protrude through a slot 662 of the slotted portion 660. The slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630 may include a slot 662 to allow the pin 629-2 to move from a first end of the slot 662 to a second end of the slot 662. In some examples, the slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630 may be coupled to an actuator bar 630 that is coupled to an actuator 622. in some examples, the actuator 622 may be a spring-loaded device to apply a force on the actuator bar 630, which may move the position of the media guide 620.

[0054] In some examples, the pin 629-2 may be coupled to an actuator arm 629-1 that may apply a force on the slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630. For example, the actuator arm 629-1 can be a loaded actuator arm that can apply a force in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 6. in one example, the actuator arm 629-1 can be coupled to the media guide 620 via a bracket. In this example, the actuator arm 629-1 can be a spring-loaded arm that is applying a force in a counterclockwise direction as illustrated in Figure 6. That is, the actuator arm 629-1 can be loaded to move in a counterclockwise direction and apply a corresponding force on the slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630 via the pin 629-2. In this way, the force applied on the slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630 in a downward direction can apply an equal but opposite force on the media guide 620 in an upward direction as illustrated in Figure 6. In this way, the media guide 620 can have an applied force in an upward direction that can be utilized to align the media guide 620 with a corresponding media guide (e.g., first media guide 105 as illustrated in Figure 1 , etc ).

[0055] In some examples, the pin 629-2 and the actuator arm 629-1 can be positioned at an opposite end of the media guide 620 as a pivot point or pin (e.g., pin 426 as illustrated in Figure 4, etc.) in some examples, the actuator arm 629-1 can be utilized as a mechanically loaded or spring-loaded device to alter a position of the media guide 620 instead of utilizing a spring-loaded actuator 622. That is, the actuator 622 can allow the actuator bar 630 to move in an upward and/or downward direction as illustrated in Figure 6 while the actuator arm 629-1 applies a downward force on the slotted portion 660 of actuator bar 630 to move the media guide 620 in an upward direction when in an unlocked position.

[0056] In some examples, the pin 629-2 and actuator arm 629-1 may alter a position of the media guide 620 to an active position that is aligned with the media pathway. For example, a fixed pin (e.g , pin in a fixed location, non-force loaded pin, etc.) can allow the media guide 620 to slip (e.g., due to gravitational force, etc.) during operation. Thus, in this example, the pin 629-2 and actuator arm 629-1 may be force loaded to apply a constant upward force on the media guide 620 to ensure the position of the media guide 620 is secure during operation in some examples, the pin 629-2 and actuator arm 629-1 can be utilized in a similar way with a corresponding media guide (e.g., first media guide 105 as illustrated in Figure 1 , etc.) and/or on other sides of the media guide 620. For example, the pin 629-2 and actuator arm 629-1 can be positioned at a first side of an enclosure 628 (e.g., first enclosure side 928-1 as illustrated in Figure 9, etc.) and/or positioned at a second side of the enclosure 628 (e.g., second enclosure side 928-2 as illustrated in Figure 9, etc.).

[0057] Figure 7 illustrates an example of a system 700 including a sensing portion for media guide latching. In some examples, the system 700 may be a portion of a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway. In some examples, the system 700 may include the same or similar elements as system 100 as referenced in Figure 1 , system 200 as illustrated in Figure 2, system 300 as illustrated in Figure 3, system 400 as referenced in Figure 4, and/or system 500 as referenced in Figure 5. For example, Figure 7 may represent a portion of a media pathway device that may include a first latch bar 704 to lock or unlock a first media guide (e.g., media guide 105 as illustrated in Figure 1 , etc.).

[0058] In some examples, the system 700 may illustrate a portion of the media pathway device to monitor and/or identify when the first latch bar 704 is in a locked/active position or unlocked/inactive position. For example, the first latch bar 704 may extend outside an enclosure 728 through an aperture 707 when the first latch bar 704 is in a locked/active position and the first latch bar 704 may be positioned within the enclosure 728 when the first latch bar 704 is in an

un!ocked/inactive position.

[0059] In some examples, the first latch bar 704 may include an activation portion 770 that may interact with a sensing portion 772 (e.g., magnetic sensing portion such as a sensor that uses electromagnetic radiation, optical sensing portion such as a sensor that uses optical photoreceptors, etc.) that is coupled to an exterior portion of the enclosure 728. in some examples, the activation portion 770 may interact with the sensing portion 772. For example, the activation portion 770 may include a magnetic portion that may provide a signal to the sensing portion 772 when the activation portion 770 is in proximity with the sensing portion 772. in this example, the activation portion 770 may be in proximity with the sensing portion 772 when the activation portion 770 extends to the exterior portion of the enclosure 728 (e.g., through an aperture 707, through aperture 107 as referenced in Figure 1 , etc.) and indicates to the sensing portion 772 that the first latch bar 704 is in a

locked/activated position in this example, the activation portion 770 may not be in proximity with the sensing portion 772 when the activation portion 770 is positioned within an interior portion of the enclosure 728 and indicates to the sensing portion 772 that the first latch bar 704 is in an unlocked/inactivafed position.

[0060] In some examples, the sensing portion 772 can include a sensor that can detect the presence of electromagnetic radiation. In these examples, the activation portion 770 can include a magnet that can generate electromagnetic radiation in these examples, the sensing portion 772 can detect the electromagnetic radiation generated by the magnet in the activation portion 770 when the first latch bar 704 is inserted into the aperture 707 and in proximity with the sensing portion 772. In another example, the sensing portion 772 can include an optical sensor that can detect the presence of the activation portion 770 when the activation portion 770 crosses the sensing portion 772. In some examples, the sensing portion 772 can send a signal to a computing device and/or printing device to indicate that the first media guide and the second media guide are in a locked or active position when the sensing portion 772 detects the presence of the activation portion 770. in a similar way, the sensing portion 772 can send a single to a computing device and/or printing device to indicate that the first media guide and the second media guide are in an unlocked or inactive position when the sensing portion 772 does not detect the presence of the activation portion 770.

[0081] Figure 8 illustrates an example of a latching system 880 for media guide latching. In some examples, the latching system 880 can be utilized with a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway between a print zone and a finisher of a printing device. In some examples, the latching system 880 can be utilized to lock and unlock a first media guide and a second media guide to remove media jams within the media pathway device.

[0082] In some examples, the system 880 can include a handle 802 that may enable movement of a first latch bar 804 from a first position to a second position.

For example, the handle 802 may move the first latch bar 804 from an active position to an inactive position in some implementations, a handle 802 can include a device that can be utilized to manipulate the first latch bar 804 and a second latch bar 806.

In some examples, the handle 802 may be directly coupled to the first latch bar 804 such that the first latch bar 804 moves in the same direction as the handle 802. For example, pushing the handle 802 in a first direction may move the first latch bar 804 in the first direction toward an aperture. In this example, pulling the handle 802 in a second direction may move the first latch bar 804 in the second direction away from the aperture in this way, the handle 802 may provide a mechanism for directly moving the first latch bar 804 to and from a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0063] In some examples, the handle 802 may be coupled to a second latch bar 806. in some examples, the second latch bar 806 may be coupled to an edge of a media guide in some examples, the second latch bar 806 may be coupled to a pin 810. In some examples, the pin 810 may be coupled within a track 812 of the handle 802. In this way, the handle 802 may alter a position of the second latch bar 806 while the handle 802 Is altering a position of the first latch bar 804. in some examples, the handle 802 may move the second latch bar 806 to and from a first position and a second position. For example, the handle 802 may be moved from a first position to a second position in this example, the handle 802 may alter a position of the pin 810 within the track 812 when the handle 802 moves from the first position to the second position. In this example, the pin 810 may move from a first position within the track 812 to a second position within the track 812 In this way, the handle 802 may move the second latch bar 806 from a first position to a second position when the pin 810 moves from the first position to the second position within the track 812.

[0084] In some examples, the second latch bar 806 may be coupled to a lock portion 814. In some examples, the lock portion 814 may be utilized to interact with a locking mechanism (e.g., datum, locking datum, etc.) of the second media guide in some examples, the lock portion 814 may extend from the first media guide to the second media guide to interact with a datum coupled to the second print media guide.

[0085] In some examples, the track 812 may be positioned such that the first position of the track 812 is relatively closer to a first end of the handle 802 and the second position of the track 812 is relatively closer to a second end of the handle 802. In this way, when the pin 810 moves from the first position of the track 812 to the second position of the track 812, the pin 810 and the second latch bar 806 moves toward the second end of the handle 802. in addition, when the pin 810 moves from the second position of the track 812 to the first position of the track 812, the pin 810 and the second latch bar 806 moves toward the first end of the handle 802.

[0088] In some examples, the handle 802 can include a datum that includes a first portion 886-1 and a second portion 886-2. In some examples, the datum can be positioned within an aperture of the enclosure of the printing device. In some examples, the first portion 886-1 of the datum can extend from the handle 802 toward the first latch bar 804 and the second portion 886-2 of the datum can extend in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 8. In this way, the datum can be more easily inserted into the aperture of the enclosure. For example, the second portion 886-2 can extend below a top portion of the aperture to avoid missing the aperture or hitting the enclosure and preventing the handle 802 from moving in a direction toward the first latch bar 804.

[0067] In some examples, the first latch bar 804 can include an activation portion 870. In some examples, the activation portion 870 may interact with the sensing portion. For example, the activation portion 870 may include a magnetic portion that may provide a signal to the sensing portion when the activation portion 870 is in proximity with the sensing portion. In this example, the activation portion 870 may be in proximity with the sensing portion when the activation portion 870 extends to the exterior portion of the enclosure (e.g., through an aperture 707 as illustrated in Figure 7, through aperture 107 as referenced in Figure 1 , etc.) and indicates to the sensing portion that the first latch bar 804 is in a locked/activated position. In this example, the activation portion 870 may not be in proximity with the sensing portion when the activation portion 870 is positioned within an interior portion of the enclosure and indicates to the sensing portion that the first latch bar 804 is in an unlocked/inactivated position.

[0068] In some examples, the first latch bar 804 can include a loaded portion 882. In some examples, the loaded portion 882 can be a spring loaded portion that provides a resistance in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 8. For example, the loaded portion 882 can be spring loaded in an upward direction as illustrated in Figure 8 that can be depressed by the enclosure when the first latch bar 804 is inserted into an aperture of the enclosure. In some examples, the loaded portion 882 can interact with the enclosure to prevent the first latch bar 804 from moving into an unlocked position

[0069] In some examples, the first latch bar 804 can include a hard stop 884. in some examples, the hard stop 884 can be protrusions positioned at a top portion of the first latch bar 804. In some examples, the hard stop 884 can interact with an interior portion of the enclosure to prevent the first latch bar 804 from moving past a threshold distance through the aperture. For example, the hard stop 884 can prevent the first latch bar 804 from extending through aperture past he hard stop 884.

[0070] Figure 9 illustrates an example of a system 900 for media guide latching. In some examples, the system 900 can be utilized with a media pathway device such as a bridge pathway between a print zone and a finisher of a printing device in some examples, the system 900 can be utilized to lock and unlock a first media guide and a second media guide to remove media jams within the media pathway device in some examples, the system 900 can include an enclosure with a first enclosure side 928-1 and a second enclosure side 928-2. in some examples, the first enclosure side 928-1 can be a first edge of a printing device and the second enclosure side 928-2 can be a second edge of the printing device.

[0071] In some examples, the system 900 can include a handle 902 that may move a first latch bar 904 from a first position to a second position. For example, the handle 902 may move the first latch bar 904 from an active position to an inactive position. In some implementations, a handle 902 can Include a device that can be utilized to manipulate the first latch bar 904 and a second latch bar 908. In some examples, the handle 902 may be directly coupled to the first latch bar 904 such that the first latch bar 904 moves in the same direction as the handle 902. For example, pushing the handle 902 in a first direction may move the first latch bar 904 in the first direction toward an aperture 907 of the first enclosure side 928-1. In this example, pulling the handle 902 in a second direction may move the first latch bar 904 in the second direction away from the aperture 907 of the first enclosure side 928-1. in this way, the handle 902 may provide a mechanism for directly moving the first latch bar 904 to and from a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0072] In some examples, the handle 902 may be coupled to a second latch bar 906. in some examples, the second latch bar 906 may be coupled to an edge of a media guide in some examples, the second latch bar 906 may be coupled to a pin 910. In some examples, the pin 910 may be coupled within a track 912 of the handle 902. In this way, the handle 902 may alter a position of the second latch bar 906 while the handle 902 is altering a position of the first latch bar 904. In some examples, the handle 902 may move the second latch bar 906 to and from a first position and a second position. For example, the handle 902 may be moved from a first position to a second position in this example, the handle 902 may alter a position of the pin 910 within the track 912 when the handle 902 moves from the first position to the second position in this example, the pin 910 may move from a first position within the track 912 to a second position within the track 912. In this way, the handle 902 may move the second latch bar 906 from a first position to a second position when the pin 910 moves from the first position to the second position within the track 912.

[0073] In some examples, the second latch bar 906 may be coupled to a lock portion 914 In some examples, the lock portion 914 may be utilized to interact with a locking mechanism (e.g., datum, locking datum, etc.) of the second media guide. In some examples, the lock portion 914 may extend from the first media guide to the second media guide to interact with a datum coupled to the second print media guide.

[0074] In some examples, the track 912 may be positioned such that the first position of the track 912 is relatively closer to a first end of the handle 902 and the second position of the track 912 is relatively closer to a second end of the handle 902. In this way, when the pin 910 moves from the first position of the track 912 to the second position of the track 912, the pin 910 and the second latch bar 906 moves toward the second end of the handle 902. In addition, when the pin 910 moves from the second position of the track 912 to the first position of the track 912, the pin 910 and the second latch bar 906 moves toward the first end of the handle 902.

[DOTS] In some examples, the handle 902 can include a datum 986. in some examples, the datum 986 can be positioned within an aperture 988 of the second enclosure side 928-2 of the printing device. In some examples, a first portion of the datum 986 can extend from the handle 902 toward the first latch bar 904 and the second portion of the datum 986 can extend in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 9. In this way, the datum 986 can be more easily inserted into the aperture 988 of the second enclosure side 982-2. For example, the second portion of the datum 986 can extend below a top portion of the aperture 988 to avoid missing the aperture 988 or hitting the second enclosure side 928-2 and preventing the handle 902 from moving in a direction toward the first latch bar 904

[0078] In some examples, the first latch bar 904 can include an activation portion 970. In some examples, the activation portion 970 may interact with the sensing portion 972. For example, the activation portion 970 may include a magnetic portion that may provide a signal to the sensing portion 972 when the activation portion 970 is in proximity with the sensing portion 972. in this example, the activation portion 970 may be in proximity with the sensing portion 972 when the activation portion 970 extends to the exterior portion of the first enclosure side 928-1 (e.g., through an aperture 707 as illustrated in Figure 7, through aperture 107 as referenced in Figure 1 , etc.) and indicates to the sensing portion 972 that the first latch bar 904 is in a locked/activated position in this example, the activation portion 970 may not be in proximity with the sensing portion 972 when the activation portion 970 is positioned within an interior portion of the first enclosure side 928-1 and indicates to the sensing portion 972 that the first latch bar 904 is in an

unlocked/inactivated position.

[0077] In some examples, the first latch bar 904 can include a loaded portion 982. In some examples, the loaded portion 982 can be a spring loaded portion that provides a resistance in a downward direction as illustrated in Figure 9. For example, the loaded portion 982 can be spring loaded in an upward direction as illustrated in Figure 9 that can be depressed by the first enclosure side 928-1 when the first latch bar 904 is inserted into the aperture 907 of the first enclosure side 928-1. In some examples, the loaded portion 982 can interact with the first enclosure side 928-1 to prevent the first latch bar 904 from moving into an unlocked position.

[0078] The above specification, examples provide a description of the method and applications, and use of the system and method of the present disclosure.

Since many examples may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the system and method of the present disclosure, this specification merely sets forth some of the many possible example configurations and implementations.
