International Classification:

B41J 11/42

US Classification:

400582

Abstract:

An apparatus and associated method move a web of “input continuous media” along at least one media path of a continuous printing device. The method prints markings on the input continuous media to create a web of “printed continuous media” using at least one printing engine of the continuous printing device. The method holds the printed continuous media on at least one output media roll of the continuous printing device after printing the markings on the input continuous media. The output media roll is supported by an output media roll support. The method also determines when the output media roll comprises a “completed printed roll” of printed continuous media and is ready to be cut by a cutter of the continuous printing device, and the output media roll is ready to be removed from the output media roll support. If the output media roll comprises a completed printed roll, the method prints an “index of items” that were printed on the completed printed roll using the printing engine as the last item printed on the completed printed roll before the cutter cuts the printed continuous media is supplied to the completed printed roll and before the completed printed roll is removed from the output media roll support. The index of items is visible from the exterior of the completed printed roll after the completed printed roll is removed from the output media roll support.

An apparatus and associated method move a web of “input continuous media” along at least one media path of a continuous printing device. The method prints markings on the input continuous media to create a web of “printed continuous media” using at least one printing engine of the continuous printing device. The method holds the printed continuous media on at least one output media roll of the continuous printing device after printing the markings on the input continuous media. The output media roll is supported by an output media roll support. The method also determines when the output media roll comprises a “completed printed roll” of printed continuous media and is ready to be cut by a cutter of the continuous printing device, and the output media roll is ready to be removed from the output media roll support. If the output media roll comprises a completed printed roll, the method prints at least two copies of an “index of items” that were printed on the completed printed roll using the printing engine as the last item printed on the completed printed roll before the cutter cuts the printed continuous media is supplied to the completed printed roll and before the completed printed roll is removed from the output media roll support. The index of items is visible from the exterior of the completed printed roll after the completed printed roll is removed from the output media roll support.
