Positive pressure plenum system for transport belts in a printing device
Abstract:
A printing module and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. For example, the printing module includes a plurality of printheads, a transport belt located below the plurality of printheads to transport print media below the plurality of printheads, wherein the transport belt comprises a plurality of vacuum openings, and a positive pressure plenum system, wherein the positive pressure plenum system provides a positive air flow to create an air interface between a top surface of the positive pressure plenum system and a bottom surface of the transport belt, wherein the positive pressure plenum system provides a negative air flow to create a vacuum through the plurality of vacuum openings of the transport belt to hold the print media against the transport belt.
