Abstract
A sheet misfeed detection system comprises an audio sensor configured to detect an audio signal generated by a sheet fed by an automatic document feeder (ADF) and a detection module configured to detect a misfeed condition of the sheet based on the audio signal generated by the sheet.
Claims20
A sheet misfeed detection system, comprising:
- an audio sensor configured to detect an audio signal generated by a sheet fed by an automatic document feeder (ADF);
- and
- a detection module configured to detect a misfeed condition of the sheet based on the audio signal generated by the sheet.
A sheet misfeed detection system, comprising:
- means for detecting an audio signal generated by a sheet fed by an automatic document feeder (ADF);
- and
- means for detecting a misfeed condition of the sheet based on the audio signal generated by the sheet.
A misfeed detection system, comprising:
- an automatic document feeder (ADF) for automatically feeding at least one sheet to an image capture device;
- and
- preservation module configured to generate a scanned image of at least a portion of the at least one sheet in response to detecting a misfeed condition associated with the at least one sheet.
A method of manufacturing a sheet misfeed detection system, comprising:
- providing an automatic document feeder (ADF);
- providing an audio sensor configured to detect an audio signal generated by a sheet fed by the ADF;
- and
- providing a detection module configured to detect a misfeed condition of the sheet based on the audio signal generated by the sheet.
