Interlocking guide portions on a sheet tray prevent vertical separation and deflection deformation at central portions.
Segmented spring units provide adjustable feed pressure without motors, lowering complexity and cost.
A tailgate picking mechanism uses a split retard pad and pick roller trough to minimize multi-picking.
A sheet feed cassette uses a curved rail to guide sliding motion.
A separation pad features a receded base end held by a supporting member to stabilize the nip portion for single-sheet feeding.
A friction buckler design uses a uniform rib and spring backing to control media feed forces.
Wave-shaped sheet media constrained by guide arms prevents foldback jams, reducing media handling errors and repair costs.
A swingable sheet stacking plate biased by springs keeps the topmost envelope horizontal to prevent slippage and skewing during feeding.
Vertical movable residual pile bars minimize friction and damage risks during rapid sheet pile changes in high-speed feeders.
