A thermal processor having a contaminant removal system. The system includes a heated drum for heat developing exposed heat developable media which emit airborne contaminants during the development; a plurality of rollers located about a circumferential segment of the drum to hold an exposed media in contact with the drum; an enclosure for enclosing the heated drum and plurality of rollers, the enclosure including a first upper curved member spaced from and enclosing the rollers and the upper portion of the drum and a second lower curved member spaced from and enclosing the lower portion of the drum, the first and second curved members having first ends spaced from each other and defining a film entrance region, and further having second ends spaced from each other and defining a film exit region; wherein the first upper curved member includes a curved duct having a first opening above the rollers and a second opening configured to direct gaseous fluids away from the film exit from the drum. The system further includes a top condensation trap communicating with the second opening of the duct; a bottom condensation trap; and an air flow control system for drawing ambient air from outside the enclosure through the film entrance region, splitting the air flow into (a) a top flow stream which passes between the first member over the rollers, through the duct and through the top condensation trap where airborne contaminants are condensed and the air stream is cooled, and (b) a bottom flow stream which passes between the second member and the lower portion of the drum and through the bottom condensation trap where airborne contaminants are condensed and the bottom flow stream is cooled.

An apparatus for cooling thermally processed media exiting from a thermal processor comprising: a heat conductive member which has first and second opposite sides which is positioned to receive media from a thermal processor, and which removes heat from the heated media as it passes over the first side of the member; and means for removing heat from the member by passing air in contact with and past the second side of the member to remove heat from the member.

A thermal processor including a rotating drum including an internal heater configured to heat and maintain the drum at a desired set-point temperature, and a plurality of pressure rollers, including a first pressure roller, circumferentially spaced along a segment of the drum. A temperature sensor is configured to provide a temperature signal indicative of a temperature proximate to the first pressure roller. A controller is configured to adjust the desired set-point temperature based on the temperature signal.

An imaging apparatus includes an exposure system having an output engagement point and operating at a first rate, and a processor having an input engagement point and operating at a second rate, which is at least equal to the first rate. A guide assembly includes an entrance guide which is configured to be at an extended position and to introduce a curve to and to direct an imaging media along a curved first transport path having a first length between the output and input engagement points before a leading edge of the imaging media is engaged by the input engagement point, the first length being less than a transport direction length of the imaging media, and which is configured to move to a retracted position after the leading edge is engaged by the input engagement point but while a trailing length of the imaging media is still engaged by the output engagement point to enable the imaging media to transition to a second transport path having a second length which is less than the first length.

An air data system includes a probe body defining a probe passageway which has a probe inlet and a probe outlet. The probe passageway is heated and couples an air pressure from the probe inlet to the probe outlet. A sensor has a sensor inlet for receiving the air pressure. The sensor provides a sensor output indicative of the air pressure. A coupling body has a coupling passageway which couples the air pressure from the probe outlet to the sensor inlet. The coupling passageway has a cooled surface for condensing moisture from air in the coupling passageway. The coupling body has a reservoir positioned relative to the cooled surface to collect the condensed moisture. The reservoir is heated to evaporate the condensed moisture.
