Synchronized media hanger/guide

A media hanger/guide comprising:

• a first mounting bracket having an elongated member, wherein a plurality of teeth are located on the elongated member;
• a first support member connected to the first mounting bracket;
• a second mounting bracket having an elongated member, wherein a plurality of teeth are located on the elongated member;
• a second support member connected to the first mounting bracket;
• a first gear in operable connection to the first mounting bracket's elongated member teeth;
• and
• a second gear in operable connection to the second mounting bracket's elongated member teeth, wherein the first gear is in operable connection with the second gear.

A media hanger/guide comprising:

• a media hub having a top surface and a channel extending through a portion of the top surface;
• a first mounting bracket positioned in the channel and having an elongated member, wherein a plurality of teeth are located on the elongated member;
• a first support member connected to the first mounting bracket, wherein at least a portion of the first support member is located outside of the channel;
• a second mounting bracket positioned in the channel and having an elongated member, wherein a plurality of teeth are located on the elongated member;
• a second support member connected to the first mounting bracket, wherein at least a portion of the second support member is located outside of the channel and wherein the first support member and the second support member are adapted for lateral movement along the channel of the media hub relative to the top surface of the media hub;
• a first gear positioned in the channel and in operable connection with the first mounting bracket's elongated member teeth;
• a second gear positioned in the channel and in operable connection to the second mounting bracket's elongated member teeth, wherein the first gear is in operable connection with the second gear;
• and
• a lock movably secured to the media hub, wherein positioning of the lock in a first position engages the second mounting bracket thereby securing the first support member and the second support member in predetermined positions and positioning of the lock in a second position disengages the second mounting bracket thereby allowing lateral movement of the first support member and the second support member along the media hub relative to the media hub top surface, wherein the lateral movement of the first support member and the second support member along the media hub is opposite and complimentary for maintaining the position of a printing media substantially centered on the media hub.
