Insertion-speed controlled paper input tray

摘要

A printer comprises a paper tray that cannot be slammed in too fast by a user. The speed at which the paper tray can be reinserted is limited in order to stop bunching of the paper stacks up against the front datum walls. Such bunching has been a source of multiple feeds, misfeeds and paper jams. Embodiments of the present invention limit the speed of tray insertion by the user by interposing dampers, or homing motors.
