Abstract
An imaging system includes a guide which transports a recording medium and a roller which holds the recording medium in place to pull the recording medium through an imaging plane defined by a surface of the roller. A device forms an image onto the recording medium at the imaging plane. The roller is a vacuum roller that uses a vacuum produced at the imaging plane to hold the recording medium in place during transport and imaging.
