摘要： An automatic document feeding device including a pick motor coupled with a pick assembly, a deskew motor coupled with a deskew assembly, a sensor assembly coupled with a main media path and the deskew motor, and a feed motor coupled with a feed assembly. The deskew motor drives the deskew assembly, the deskew assembly deskewing the media sheet and moving the media sheet from the pick assembly to the feed assembly, the deskew assembly moving independently of the pick assembly and the feed assembly. The sensor assembly includes a plurality of sensors. The sensor assembly senses the media sheet moving along the main media path and sends at least one signal to a computer. The computer, based on the at least one signal, sends, an activation signal to at least one of the pick, deskew and feed motors and the first scanner.

摘要： An automatic document feeder with a drive system that can efficiently handle double-side scanning and accommodate more than one timing sequence for sequentially picking individual sheets from a stack using only two motors—a pick motor and a media motor. The automatic document feeder includes a pickup unit with a pick roller, a set of de-skew rollers, a main media path configured to guide a media sheet from the pickup unit to a scanning region and from the scanning region to an output tray, and a switch-back path configured to guide the media sheet back into the main media path. The drive system is operable to provide a high-speed picking mode and a delayed picking mode. In the high-speed picking mode, the pickup unit is driven by the pick motor to pull a subsequent media sheet from a stack of media sheet as soon as a previously pulled media sheet has passed the pick roller. In the delayed picking mode, the de-skew rollers are driven by the pick motor to advance the media sheet toward the scanning region and the subsequent media sheet is pulled from the stack by the pickup unit when the previously pulled media sheet has passed the de-skewed rollers.

摘要： A system and method for flipping a media sheet. The novel system (10) includes a first mechanism (12) for receiving and holding a media sheet (16) and a second mechanism (118) for rotating the first mechanism (12) about an axis parallel to a transverse axis of the media sheet (16). In an illustrative embodiment, the first mechanism (12) is comprised of a predetermined number of slots (14), each slot (14) adapted to receive and hold a media sheet (16). Inversion of a media sheet (16) is accomplished by inputting a sheet (16) with a leading edge and a trailing edge into a slot at an input position (18), rotating the first mechanism (12) until the slot is at an output position (20), and outputting the sheet (16) with the former trailing edge now leading.

摘要： An encoding system is described for a media handling system including an endless belt. The encoding system includes encoding indicia associated with the endless belt. A first encoder transducer is responsive to the encoding indicia to provide a first encoder signal. A second encoder transducer is responsive to the encoding indicia to provide a second encoder signal, the second encoder transducer spatially separated from the first encoder transducer. An encoder processor is responsive to the first encoder signal and the second encoder signal to determine position data regarding the endless belt. Interruption of indicia due to a belt seam is accommodated by transferring belt position calculation from one transducer to the other as the seam passes between the two transducers. The processor is adapted to compensate for variations in the encoder indicia pitch caused by belt temperature differentials.
