Abstract
A registration apparatus for positioning a medium on a media support surface, includes a moveable member and a registration member. The moveable member is contacted by an edge of a medium, and moves therewith as the medium is moved to a set position on a support surface. The registration member restrains the movement of the moveable member, at the point at which the moveable member contacts the registration member, to position the medium at the set position on the support surface.
Claims19
A registration apparatus for positioning a medium on a media support surface, comprising:
- a moveable member configured to be contacted by an edge of a medium and moveable therewith, as the medium is moved to a set position on a support surface;
- and
- a registration member configured to restrain the movement of the moveable member at a point at which the moveable member contacts the registration member to position the medium at the set position on the support surface.
A method of registrating the position of a medium on a media support surface, comprising the steps of:
- contacting a moveable member with an edge of a medium;
- moving the medium, with the medium edge in contact with the moveable member, such that the edge forces a movement of the moveable member as the medium is moved to a set position on a support surface;
- and
- restraining the movement of the moveable member at a point at which the moveable member contacts a registration member to position the medium at the set position on the support surface.
