Abstract:
1. A cassette for use in a printer comprising: a body having a media holder; a first drive roller coupled at a first end of said body and adjacent to a media exit; a first pressure roller adapted to contact the first drive roller to thereby define a first set of rollers; a second drive roller coupled at a second end of said body adjacent the media holder; a door pivotally coupled to the body, the door being adapted to pivot between an open loading position and a closed operational position; and a second pressure roller coupled to the door and adapted to contact the second drive roller only when the door is in the closed operational position to thereby define a second set of rollers adjacent to the media holder; wherein the first drive roller and first pressure roller are spaced apart by a distance from said second drive roller and second pressure roller, and wherein said first drive roller rotates with a surface speed greater than that of the second drive roller and separates a leading patch entering the first set of rollers from a following patch exiting the second set of rollers.
