An apparatus (100) and method (500) that detects the travel direction of media in a media path in an image marking and fusing system is disclosed. The apparatus can include a media transport (110) configured to transport media. The apparatus can include a media marking engine (120) coupled to the media transport, the media marking engine configured to mark an image on media transported by the media transport to create unfused marked media (115). The apparatus can include a fusing member (130) coupled to the media transport, the fusing member having an axis of rotation (132), the fusing member configured to fuse the image on the media. The apparatus can include a media motion sensor (140) configured to sense travel information based on an unfused marked media travel direction (116) and configured to output a media motion sensor signal corresponding to the travel information. The apparatus can include a controller (150) coupled to the media motion sensor, the controller configured to output an alignment angle signal in response to receiving the media motion sensor signal, the alignment angle signal corresponding to an alignment angle between the fusing member axis of rotation and the unfused marked media travel direction. |
