Abstract: A multi-position letterbox media diverter that maximizes productivity includes a gate configured like a tomahawk to allow sufficient space for the diverter to operate immediately after the trail edge of a sheet passes the front edge of the gate and thereby increase gate actuation time. Reversible drives of an inverter are used to direct the sheet to a duplex path while another sheet is simultaneously directed by a lower integrated baffle portion of the gate to an output tray as needed. Thus, reducing the time required for the sheet to be in the inverter path before reversing sheet direction, thereby facilitating a reduction in required transport speed.

Abstract translation: 最大限度提高生产率的多位置信箱介质转向器包括一个配置成像马蹄形的门，以允许足够的空间使分流器在板的尾部边缘通过栅极的前边缘之后立即进行操作，从而增加门的启动时间。 逆变器的可逆驱动器用于将纸张引导到双工路径，同时另外的纸张根据需要同时由门的下部集成挡板部分引导到输出托盘。 因此，在反转纸张方向之前，减少纸张在变频器路径中所需的时间，从而有助于减少所需的传送速度。

Abstract: A media tray has at least a bottom and two sides positioned along edges of the bottom. The media tray is adapted to hold sheets of media. The bottom comprises openings, and projections extend through the openings in the bottom of the media tray. The projections comprise elongated structures having rounded or flattened ends. The projections extend through the openings enough to touch the bottom sheet of the sheets of media. At least one vibrating support structure is positioned on an opposite side of the bottom from the sheets of media (e.g., below the media tray). The support structure is connected to the projections in such a manner so as to vibrate the projections.

Abstract: A substrate tray includes a tall backstop guide that is attached to the bottom of the feed tray and which rotates about a vertical axis into three positions 45° apart, presenting four different surfaces to a stack of substrates in the tray. Each surface accommodates a different substrate size and thereby accommodates four different widths of substrates. The backstop guide includes a cam member that is flexed against a back wall of the tray when a load is applied to the backstop guide by the stack of substrates shifting inboard if the tray is pushed to forcefully into a machine after loading, in order to prevent skewing of the substrates.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for a feeding a sheet in a document reproduction machine. A feedbox is contained within a document reproduction machine. Within the feedbox, an elevator moves at least one sheet to the upper portion of the feedbox, to a stack height finger, for feeding the sheet into a feed device. At least one sensor, located at the upper portion of the feedbox, detects the location of the sheet. The location information is sent from the sensor to a data processing device. The data processing device sends information to an actuating device. The actuating device may cause one or more plungers to move through apertures in the elevator. The plungers will result in a substantially flat sheet. The sheet is then fed into the feed device.
