Abstract
A media support stand includes a top surface incorporated into a housing of an imaging device. A plurality of media slots are formed in the top surface. Each media slot in the plurality is configured to support at least one print media oriented vertically. Each media slot in the plurality includes a plurality of arc inducing vector transitions in a plane transverse to the planar extent of the vertically oriented print media. The plurality of arc inducing vector transitions are configured to impart alternating arcs to the print media inserted into the respective media slot.
Claims19
A media support stand comprising:
- a media support configuration incorporated into a housing of an imaging device;
- a plurality of media slots formed in the media support, each media slot in the plurality being configured to support at least one print media oriented at least somewhat vertically, each media slot in the plurality including a plurality of arc inducing vector transitions configured to impart alternating arcs to the print media inserted into the respective media slot.
An imaging device comprising:
- a marking engine configured to apply a marking material to print media;
- a housing that at least partially encloses the marking engine;
- a media support stand incorporated into the housing, the media support stand including at least one media slot, the at least one media slot being configured to support at least one print media oriented at least somewhat vertically, the at least one media slot having at least one open end that enables the at least one print media to be horizontally inserted into the media slot.
A media support stand comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of media slots formed in the base, each media slot in the plurality being configured to support at least one print media oriented vertically, each media slot in the plurality including a plurality of arc inducing vector transitions in a plane transverse to the planar extent of the vertically oriented print media, the plurality of arc inducing vector transitions being configured to impart alternating arcs to the print media inserted into the respective media slot.
- each media slot in the plurality having at least one open end that enables print media to be horizontally inserted into the respective media slot, the at least one open end being flaired with respect to an intermediate portion of the respective media slot.
