The patient gown of claim 1, further comprising a snap connection on the first side portion and a complementary snap connection near a shoulder portion of the front portion such that the first side portion can be wrapped behind the patient and the snap connection on the first side portion can be snapped into the complementary snap connection near the shoulder portion to hold the first side portion in place extending behind the patient.
3. The patient gown of claim 2, further comprising a loop that is secured to the first side portion such that the loop can be pulled to separate the snap connection.
4. The patient gown of claim 2, wherein the second side portion is configured to be wrapped behind the patient over the first side portion prior to tying the first tie and the second tie together to secure the second side portion in place.
5. The patient gown of claim 1, further comprising a first sleeve secured to the front portion and the first side portion and a second sleeve secured to the front portion and the second side portion.
6. The patient gown of claim 5, wherein the first sleeve and the second sleeve are adjustable in sleeve diameter.
7. The patient gown of claim 6, wherein the first sleeve and the second sleeve comprise snap connections that can be snapped together to adjust the sleeve diameter.

The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
We claim:
1. A print engine for a printer, the print engine comprising a support structure;
a pair of drive rollers that are rotatably mounted on the support structure and are configured to define a gripping zone into which a sheet of print medium can be fed to be gripped between the rollers, the drive rollers defining a feed zone between the gripping zone and a tangential plane common to both drive rollers through which the sheet of print medium passes; and
at least one print head assembly that comprises
at least one print head chip carrier that is mounted on the support structure and which is configured to extend into the feed zone; and
at least one print head chip that is mounted on each print head carrier to be in an operative position with respect to the sheet of print medium in the feed zone.
2. A print engine as claimed in claim 1, which includes at least one pair of substantially identical print head assemblies, the at least one print head chip carrier of one print head assembly being mirrored by the at least one print head chip carrier of another print head assembly so that the print head chips can be operatively positioned with respect to both sides of the sheet of print medium.
3. A print engine as claimed in claim 2, in which each print head assembly includes two substantially identical print head chip carriers so that a first pair of carriers is mirrored by a second pair of carriers and the print head assemblies together define a distal pair of mirrored carriers and a proximal pair of mirrored carriers relative to the gripping zone, at least the print head chips mounted on the proximal pair of carriers being positioned in the feed zone.
4. A print engine as claimed in claim 1, in which the at least one print head chip carrier has an arcuate end profile that corresponds generally with the curvature of a periphery of each drive roller.
5. A printer that includes at least one print engine as claimed in claim 1.
