SUPPORT UNIT AND PRINTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339899 titled 'SUPPORT UNIT AND PRINTING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a support unit designed to assist in the imaging and printing process. The support unit consists of a table unit with a support region for holding the medium and a non-support region that does not hold the medium. It also includes a sandwiching unit that has a transparent portion and is used to hold the medium in place with the table unit. The non-support region of the support unit is marked with recognizable marks that can be detected by the imaging device.

  • The support unit is used to support a medium during the imaging and printing process.
  • It includes a table unit with a support region and a non-support region.
  • The sandwiching unit is used to hold the medium in place with the table unit.
  • The non-support region of the support unit is marked with recognizable marks for the imaging device.

Potential Applications

  • This support unit can be used in various printing applications, such as commercial printing, graphic design, and photography.
  • It can be utilized in industries that require precise imaging and printing, such as medical imaging and textile printing.

Problems Solved

  • The support unit provides stability and support to the medium during the imaging and printing process, preventing any movement or misalignment.
  • The recognizable marks on the non-support region help the imaging device accurately detect and align the medium.

Benefits

  • The support unit ensures accurate and high-quality imaging and printing results.
  • It simplifies the imaging and printing process by providing a stable and secure platform for the medium.
  • The recognizable marks on the non-support region enhance the efficiency and precision of the imaging device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A support unit is configured to support a medium that is imaged by an imaging device and on which printing is performed by a printing apparatus in accordance with a result of the imaging. The support unit includes a table unit including a support region that supports the medium and a non-support region that does not support the medium, and a sandwiching unit having a portion with light transmissivity and being configured to sandwich the medium with the table unit. The non-support region is provided with a plurality of marks recognizable by the imaging device.
