Abstract:
1. A printing assembly for printing on consecutive sheets of print media, the printing assembly comprising a printing station having at least one printhead configured to print on sheets of print media passing through the printing station; a feed station positioned upstream of the printing station and configured to feed the sheets of print media through the printing station along a feed path; an adhesive applicator station positioned downstream of the printing station and configured to apply adhesive to each of the sheets of print media; a tray positioned downstream of the adhesive applicator station, the tray having a floor and side walls that are configured so that sheets from the adhesive applicator station bear against the side walls in a substantially aligned manner; and a pressing mechanism mounted on the tray and reciprocally displaceable relative to the tray to press and bind the sheets together, the floor being adjustable relative to the pressing mechanism to minimize a necessary extent of displacement of the pressing mechanism relative to the tray.
