Self aligning transport mechanism for media of variable media widths

摘要

Apparatus and method for aligning media. The device includes a passageway and at least one rotor. The rotor may have a surface shaped to drive a media in an intermittent fashion, or a plurality of rotors may contact the media in an intermittent fashion. Intermittent drive may also be achieved by modulating the contact pressure between a rotor and the media.
