Abstract: A method and apparatus for locking the drive hubs (38) of a forms overlay station (26) in a laser electrographic printer (10) to its transparent forms overlay drum (30) includes counterboring a plurality of holes (40) through the drum (30) into the hubs (38), inserting a resilient member such as an O-ring (42) into each counterbored hole (40), and compressing the resilient member (42) to form an interference fit among the compressed resilient member (42) and an interface formed within the counterbored hole (40) by the drum (30) and hubs (38).

Abstract: A method and aparatus for splicing a fresh stack (p) of continuous pin-feed forms in a high-speed printer (10) having fed therethrough an expended stack of continuous pin-feed forms (p), where the printer (10) includes an input station (10a) at a recessed area. A slidable tray (80) for supporting the fresh stack (p), is pulled out of the printer (10), and a splicing station (98) which is hingedly coupled (104) to an upright wall portion (100) attached to the tray (80) is deployed external to the printer (10) for splicing ease. The splicing station (98) includes a spool (114) of splicing tape (134) disposed within a locating groove (108) of a controlled depth, the forms (p) being registered in locating pins (142) on either side of the groove (108) for accurate splicing upon pressing them centered on the tape (134). When the splice is complete, the spliced stack (p) is fan-folded upon the tray (80), the splicing station (98) folded back against the upright wall portion (100), and the tray (80) returned within the recessed area.
