<p>Method and apparatus for controlling a sheet feeder assembly for an imaging apparatus, the sheet feeder assembly including a motor (42) coupled to a gear train (38) for applying a rotational force to a sheet picker roller (34), a media supply tray (12) for holding a media stack having a plurality of media sheets (24), a buckler for buckling a top sheet of print media to separate the top sheet from the media stack, the method including the steps of driving the sheet picker roller (34) at an initial velocity until a backlash of the gear train (38) is eliminated and/or the top sheet has been buckled; and thereafter, accelerating the sheet picker roller (34) from the initial velocity to a target velocity using selectable sheet picker roller velocity profiles.</p> |
