Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of controlling bubble formation in a media sheet between two sets of media feed roll pairs using a single media edge detector positioned downstream of the upstream media feed roll pair. The method may also be practiced using a bubble chamber positioned between the two sets of media feed roll pairs.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. In an imaging device having a first media feed roll pair and second media feed roll pairs positioned along a media path, the second media feed roll pair being positioned downstream of the first media feed roll pair in a media process direction with the distance between the first and second media feed roll pairs having sufficient volume to allow for buckling of a media sheet therebetween, the first media feed roll pair coupled to a first motor and the second m…
