Systems for sensing sheet restraint position

摘要

An imaging device having a sheet restraint sensing system is disclosed. The system includes a frame having an opening, a linear sensor strip located on the frame having a length, and a media tray having a sheet restraint that presses against the linear sensor strip when the media tray is located in the opening. The sheet restraint is constrained by the media tray to move relative to the media tray no more than a maximum adjustment displacement. The maximum adjustment displacement is less than the length of the linear sensor strip. Other systems are disclosed.

1. An imaging device comprising:
a frame having an opening; a sensor strip attached to the frame having a longitudinal axis; a media tray located in the opening configured to hold a stack of sheets of media; and a sheet restraint attached to the media tray configured to move along a linear adjustment path to adjust a maximum sheet dimension accommodated by the media tray; wherein the sheet restraint presses against the sensor strip at a point of contact, the longitudinal axis of the sensor strip is parallel to the linear adjustment path, and the sensor strip is non-conductive at the point of contact.
