Abstract
In one example, a media feed system includes a pick arm that is adjustable at a pivot and operable to maintain a distance between a pick roller and a separation wall as the pick arm changes orientation. In another example, a media feed system may include a pick arm, a pick roller coupled to the pick arm, a pivot coupled to the pick arm, and a plate coupled to the pivot via a pin and slot interface. In that example, a slot of the pin and slot interface is to adjust position of the pivot and adjust orientation of the pick arm.
Claims15
A media feed system comprising;
- a pick arm;
- a pick roller coupled to a first end of the pick arm;
- a pivot coupled to a second end of the pick arm:
- and
- a plate coupled to the pivot via a pin and slot interface having a slot o adjust a position of the pivot and an orientation of the pick arm.
A tray assembly comprising:
- a separation wall;
- and
- a pick arm comprising:
- a first portion coupled to a pick roller;
- and
- a second portion coupled to a pivot,
- wherein the pick arm is:
- adjustable at the pivot;
- and
- operable to maintain a distance between the pick roller and the separation wall as the second portion of the pick arm changes orientation.
A method of operating a media feed system comprising:
- adjusting a first position of a pivot of a pick arm to maintain a pick roller at a substantially constant distance from an angled separation wall;
- and
- adjusting a second position of a separation roller based on the first position of the pick roller.
