ABSTRACT:
A pagewidth inkjet printer includes a support assembly. A housing is mounted on the support assembly and has a print medium inlet end and a print medium outlet end. A feed roller assembly is mounted on the support assembly proximate the inlet end to feed a print medium into the housing. A print engine is mounted on the support assembly, downstream of the feed roller assembly to carry out a printing operation on the print medium. An exit roller assembly is mounted on the support assembly proximate the outlet end of the housing. A gas inlet is arranged on the housing to permit drying gas to be introduced into the housing to facilitate drying of the print medium. The exit roller assembly is spaced from the print engine such that sufficient time is provided for the ink to dry as the print medium is displaced from the print engine to the exit roller assembly.
