Print media feed system and control method for the same

A control method for a print media feed system comprising:

• drive means for moving a feed roller;
• sensing means adapted to sense movement of a feed roller;
• detection means for detecting movement of a pinch roller;
• and a controller arranged to control the drive means using a gain parameter and signals provided by the detection means and the sensing means, the method comprising the steps of:
• detecting whether or not the pinch roller is in a first position in which the pinch roller presses against the feed roller with print media sandwiched therebetween;
• if it is detected that the pinch roller is in the first position, setting the gain parameter to a first value;
• and
• if it is detected that the pinch roller is not in the first position, setting the gain parameter to a second value which is lower than the first value.
