Abstract
In one example, a media size detector includes a button coupled to a spring of a housing to interact with a media size adjuster of a media tray, a first side of a lever to receive pressure from the spring when the button is depressed by the media size adjuster, and a second side of the lever to apply pressure to activate or deactivate a switch coupled to a printed circuit assembly when the first side of the lever receives pressure from the spring.
Claims15
A media size detector, comprising:
- a button coupled to a spring of a housing to interact with a media size adjuster of a media tray;
- a first side of a lever to receive pressure from the spring when the button is depressed by the media size adjuster;
- and
- a second side of the lever to apply pressure to activate or deactivate a switch coupled to a printed circuit assembly when the first side of the lever receives pressure from the spring.
1 more element
A system for media size detection, comprising:
- a media size adjuster coupled within a media tray to rotate a size detect barrel based on a selected size of print media;
- a media size detector coupled to a rail of the media tray to interact with the size detect barrel, wherein the size detect barrel depresses a combination of buttons of the media size detector based on an orientation of the size detect barrel;
- and
- a printed circuit assembly to generate a signal based on the combination of buttons depressed by the size detect barrel.
1 more element
A system for media size detector, comprising:
- a plurality of buttons coupled to a first side of a printed circuit assembly to interact with a plurality of barrel surfaces based on an orientation of a size detect barrel, wherein a portion of the plurality of barrel surfaces depress a corresponding portion of the plurality of buttons based on the orientation;
- and
- a plurality of levers to receive pressure from the corresponding portion of the plurality of buttons on a first side and interact with a corresponding switch coupled to a second side of the printed circuit assembly with a second side.
