Abstract:
Systems and methods for adjustable path length of print media in a dryer of a printing system. In one embodiment, the dryer includes a drum that applies heat to a web of print media. The dryer also includes first rollers positioned in an arc around the drum to define a path of travel of the web along the arc when the web is between an entrance of the dryer and the drum. The dryer further includes second rollers positioned inside the arc from the first rollers to reverse the path of travel of the web inside the arc when the web is between the drum and an exit of the dryer. A first roller and a second roller transport the web around the drum. A location of the first roller and the second roller relative to the arc defines a length of the web inside the dryer.

Claim (Index 14):
A web handling apparatus comprising:\n an enclosure that includes an entrance for receiving a web and an exit for discharging the web; a drum that is wrapped by the web; a first group of rollers spaced along an arc that spans around a circumferential portion of the drum at a first distance from a surface of the drum, wherein the first group of rollers transport the web between the entrance of the enclosure and the drum, and wherein a last roller among the first group of rollers turns the web onto the drum; a second group of rollers that occupy spaces between the first group of rollers, the second group of rollers positioned inside the arc to span around the drum at a second distance closer to the surface of the drum than the first distance, wherein the second group of rollers transport the web between the drum and the exit of the enclosure; and a third group of rollers positioned closer to the drum than the second distance, wherein one roller among the third group of rollers transports the web from the drum to the second group of rollers; wherein a location of the last roller and the one roller relative to the arc defines a travel distance of the web inside the enclosure.
