Abstract
A media hanger/guide including a base plate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface, a guide extending into the second surface, a first support member and a second support member adapted for sliding movement along the guide relative to the base plate second surface, and a clamp secured to the base plate second surface and engaged with the support members and such that the clamp is movable between a first position adapted for permitting insertion of a media between the first support member and the second support member and a second position adapted for providing force on the first support member and the second support member. A slot may also extend into the second surface. An optional lock may be movably secured to the base plate for locking the first and second support members and in a predetermined position along the base plate.

20. A media hanger for use with a printing system, comprising:
-
a base plate configured for mounting within a printing station, said base plate having at least one guide track extending there through; first and second support members movably connected to the at least one guide track and being adapted for sliding movement relative to the base plate; a clamp secured to the base plate and engaged with the support members, the clamp being configured for movement between a first position adapted for permitting insertion of a media between said first and second support members and a second position adapted for providing force on the first and second support members; a lock movably secured to the base plate for locking the first and second support members in a predetermined position along the base plate; and wherein the clamp comprises a pair of linking arms connected to and extending from the location where the clamp is rotatably secured to the base plate, said linking arms being connected to the first and second support members such that as the linking arms may be manipulated between a first position and a second position thereby causing the support members move in a corresponding manner.
