Abstract:
A flexible belt is disclosed for use in a printing system. The belt comprises an endless strip which, in use, travels along a continuous path. Formations are provided along the sides of the strip which are capable of engaging with lateral tracks to place the belt under lateral tension, the lateral tracks further serving to constrain the belt to follow the continuous path.

Claim (Index 1):
A belt system comprising:\n a. a flexible belt; and b. a support frame including two lateral guiding tracks for guiding the belt, the guiding tracks extending one of each side of the belt, wherein the flexible belt comprises an endless strip which, in use, travels along a continuous path defined by the lateral tracks, wherein formations are provided along the sides of the endless strip which both slidably engage respective lateral guiding tracks and are retained therein so as to place the belt under lateral tension, the lateral tracks further serving to constrain the belt to follow the continuous path.
