摘要： A media picking device for an image forming apparatus having a sensing mechanism for detecting the leading and trailing edge of a sheet of media being picked from a media input tray. The device includes a pick mechanism for picking the top-most media sheet; and a sensing mechanism including a sensor and a flag positioned adjacent the pick tire and moveable between at least two positions, the flag having a first end contacting the surface of a picked sheet; the flag moving from a first position to a second position when the leading edge of the picked sheet passes by and moving from the second position to the first position when the trailing edge of the picked sheet passes by. The sensing mechanism providing an output signal corresponding to the movement of the flag. The sensor is one of a photointerrupter, a proximity sensor, a potentiometer, and a switch.

摘要： A media picking device for an image forming apparatus having a sensing mechanism for detecting the leading and trailing edge of a sheet of media being picked while in a media input tray. The device comprises an arm rotatably positioned to engage a stack of media sheets in a media input tray, a pick shaft rotatably connected to one end of the arm; a pick tire disposed on the pick shaft for contacting and picking the top-most media sheet; and a sensing mechanism comprising a sensor and a flag positioned adjacent the pick tire and moveable between at least two positions, the flag having a first end for contacting the surface of a media sheet being picked; the flag moving from a first position to a second position when the leading edge of the media sheet being picked passes by and moving from the second position to the first position when the trailing edge of the media sheet being picked passes by, wherein the sensor senses the movement of the flag when the flag moves between the first and second positions with the sensing mechanism providing an output signal corresponding to the movement of the flag. The sensor is one of a photointerrupter, a proximity sensor, a potentiometer, and a switch.

摘要： An apparatus for aligning a media sheet includes a sheet feed system for transporting the media sheet along a media feed path in a media feed direction and an alignment assembly is positioned to intersect the media feed path. The alignment assembly includes a deflectable member having a plurality of sets of arms, each of the arms of each set has a contact surface defining a plane unique to each set of arms. The media sheet aligns as it exerts a media engagement force on the alignment assembly and causes the alignment assembly to deflect when the media engagement force exceeds the aligning force.
