ABSTRACT:
An improved reusable media carrier having positive alignment capability and improved carrying characteristics for advancing one or more pieces of printable card stock media or the like through a computer printer, word processing printer, or copy machine. Such means is in the form of a flexible rectangularly configured carrier, particularly suited for use with printers or copy machines having friction, sheet-feed mechanisms. The carrier is comprised of an essentially rectangular sheet of paper or other flexible material folded in such a way as to provide retainers for positively engaging at least two adjacent side edges of a piece of media to be printed. In addition, the retainer means may include hard stops for effecting positive media alignment and location. Furthermore, the carrier may include embedded strips of stiffener material for minimizing curl of the media carrier. Still further, low friction coatings or materials may be added in the vicinity of the retainers to ease insertional engagement with the media, and high friction treatments, coatings or materials may be added to surface areas of the carrier lying beneath the carried media to prevent movement thereof during the printing operation.
