ALIGNMENT RESTRAINT STATION

摘要

FEED PATH ALIGNMENT/RESTRAINT An improved alignment/restraint station for interposition in an automatic document feed path is disclosed. A unitary structure including back-up rollers and sawtooth restraint members is positioned at downstream of the document separation station transverse to the direction of feed. Adjacent either end of the unitary structure are dual purpose edge alignment means. The unitary structure is moveable into and out of position in the feed path and includes guide means for leading a document over the edge alignment means.
