    摘要: A media transport system for detecting metallic objects in media to be input into the media transport system, comprising: an input tray configured to hold media to be fed into the media transport system; one or more rollers configured to convey the media from the input tray and along a medium transport path, the one or more rollers driven by one or more motors; one or more induction sensors positioned proximate to the medium transport path, wherein the one or more induction sensors are configured to detect presence of metallic material and output a metallic detection signal; a processing unit in communication with the induction sensor, the processing unit configured to receive the metallic detection signal and further configured to analyze the signals and determine whether the media contains a metallic object; the processing unit further configured to detect the presence of a medium jam in the media transport system, and wherein the processing unit is configured to disable the motors from reversing direction in response to a detected medium jam when the media contains a metallic object.
