FORKED PICK LEVERS FOR SELECTIVE PRINTER PICK GEAR CONTROL
Abstract:
A printer pick assembly may include a motor to rotate a drive gear. A swing arm may be selectively pivoted to engage the drive gear with a pick gear of a pick roller. A forked pick lever can be pivoted between a home state and a pick-up state. In the pick-up state, the forked pick lever raises print media into contact with the pick roller. The swing arm may engage the drive gear with the pick gear to cause the pick roller to feed the print media into a printer while the forked pick lever is in the pick-up state. A forked control surface of the forked pick lever may selectively lock the swing arm to arrest rotation of the pick gear and associated pick roller when the forked pick lever is in the home state.
