Abstract
A deskew module of a valuable media depository is selectively controlled ejection processing. Upon detection of a jammed item of media within the deskew module, angled drives are activated to lift a jammed corner of the item off a track base of the deskew module and free the item's jammed corner. Next, straight drives are activated to eject the item from the deskew module.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- detecting from sensor readings of a deskew module that an item of media is jammed within the deskew module based on an amount of time that the item of media is contained within the deskew module;
- activating angled drives within the deskew module in a reverse direction from an original travel direction of the item within the deskew module urging a jammed corner of the item that is jammed against a track base to lift while pulling the item away from the track base in the reverse direction;
- and
- deactivating the angled drives and activating straight drives within the deskew module in the reverse direction to eject the item from the deskew module urging the item to move along the track base out of the deskew module in the reverse direction.

A method, comprising:
- activating multiple angled drives in multiple cells within a deskew module in a reverse direction from an original direction of travel of on an item of media being urged through the deskew module after identifying a jam condition for the item being processed through the deskew module based on at least one sensor reading provided to the deskew module that reports the jam condition, wherein activating further includes urging a jammed corner of the item that is jammed against the deskew module to lift off a track base while urging the item in the reverse direction;
- deactivating the multiple angled drives after an amount of time;
- and
- ejecting the item by activating multiple straight drives in the multiple cells in the reverse direction forcing the item of media to eject from the deskew module.
