Printer Platen

A printer platen is a component of a printer that helps feed paper through the printing mechanism. It is a flat, smooth surface typically made of rubber or a similar material. The paper is placed on the platen, and as it moves through the printer, the platen helps to guide and hold the paper in place. The platen also provides a consistent surface for the printer's print head or other printing mechanism to make contact with the paper, ensuring accurate and precise printing.
