Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A web handling system is disclosed. The web handling system includes first dancer rollers coupled to engage and move a web of a print medium in a forward and backward direction upon stopping a printing operation and allow forward motion during the printing operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A dryer of a printing system including: a stationary roller to cure ink on a printed side of a web of a print medium; drying rollers to automatically engage the web to convey the web during a printing operation and to automatically disengage from the web upon stopping of the printing operation; first set dancer rollers to engage the web and expand the web upon stopping of the printing operation; and a deflection roller to contact the web between the stationary roller and the first set dancer rollers, wherein the deflection roller is higher in elevation relative to the stationary roller to prevent the stationary roller from contacting the web after the drying rollers have disengaged the web. 2. The dryer of claim 1 wherein the deflection roller comprises one of a pivot arm roller, a planetary roller wheel, and an air bearing roller. 3. The dryer of claim 1 wherein the first set dancer rollers are positioned to pick up slack attributed to the disengaging of the dryer rollers.
