A dispenser for dispensing material includes a dispenser housing having a material track therein. A dispenser/cutter mechanism contained within the housing includes a trigger handle for activating the dispenser/cutter mechanism. The trigger handle is spring-biased to a non-compressed position, and is shiftable to a tape-cutting position and to a compressed position. A dispensing roller is activated by the trigger handle. A dispensing pawl is operatively located between the trigger handle and the dispenser roller, and the material is trained over the dispenser roller and is moved thereover by the action of the trigger handle. An anti-rebound pawl holds the dispensing roller in a fixed position when the trigger handle is moved to its compressed position. A cam-activated cutting blade is activated by the trigger handle when the trigger handle is moved to its tape-cutting position.

A state-of-polarization (SOP) control system (10) uses a SOP controller (28) that is responsive to a CPU (24) to perform endless and complete polarization signal detection for a fiber optic communication system. The SOP controller (28) comprises liquid crystal variable optical retarders (40, 42 and 44) that adjust the polarization state of local optical signal (36) in response to voltages provided by the CPU (24). The CPU (24) adjusts the voltage applied to the retarders (40, 42, and 44) separately in response to the magnitude of an interference signal (70), which corresponds to the degree to which the polarization of the local optical signal (36) and an input optical signal (12) are different.

A print head (216) tilt angle positioner (258) includes a scroll cam (344), a tilt arm (332), a flexure (334), a tilt angle adjuster (336), and a biasing spring (338). The tilt arm and the print head are attached to a shaft (220) that rotates the tilt arm and the print head together between printing, maintenance, and shipping tilt angle positions to control the distance of the print head from the image receiving drum.

A color image copying system (10) includes a light modulator (12) that receives incident light rays emanating from a source (14) of light. The light modulator comprises a light dispersing apparatus (54) that disperses different wavelengths of the incident light rays to different locations on a focal surface (60). A filter mask (68) aligned with the focal surface transmits preselected wavelengths of the ultraviolet light and blocks light of all other wavelengths. Each of a set of light valves (86, 88, 90) receives a different wavelength of light transmitted by the filter mask and intensity modulates it in accordance with image pixel information provided by an information source (16). An optical focusing apparatus (56) focuses the intensity-modulated wavelengths of light to a relatively small location (20) on an image focal surface (22) which is aligned with a light-sensitive medium (24). The light focused at the location exposes the light-sensitive medium to each of the wavelengths of light for a particular period of time determined by the image pixel information.

A method for depositing an image on a receiving surface utilizing two scans of a print head is provided. Each scan deposits a portion of the image, and the two scans are separated by a non-deposition skip move. The two image portions are joined at a seam to create a composite image. By utilizing identical print head motions along the x-axis direction for all images, this method allows for accurate and repeatable image-half alignment regardless of image width, length or position on the receiving surface.

A method for calibrating a printer or other imaging system to accurately place an image on a final receiving substrate is provided. A test image is printed and the margins between the image and the edges of the media are measured. These measured margin values are then utilized to adjust stored calibration factors that calibrate the printer to accurately place the image on the final receiving substrate.

A print head positioner includes a tilt mechanism that selectively engages and moves a carriage supporting the print head when the print head and supporting carriage are in a home position. The print head positioner is uncoupled from the carriage X-axis drive mechanism during imaging to avoid extraneous loading on the mechanism. The positioner includes interlocks to prevent inadvertent disengagement from the carriage during tilting and to restrict print head tilting when the carriage is away from the home position.
